I just noticed that unfortunately my site is very boring and has minimum differences from now and then. This is appliable to many sites that use phpvms. I am thinking of making it more social. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! My ideas are having a forum and chat for now... I was thinking of IRC but then thats too old. And i need something new and fresh that my pilots will like. Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance! Tom

I just bought this app called Textastic for my iPad and heck! I gotta say it's freaking awesome app to code on the iPad on the go! Now I don't have to sit at my computer and code! I can code on my iPad anywhere now! It's well for the price! Only $9.99! You can code in many different languages, upload your files via FTP, Webdav, or see your HTML work locally on the iPad (I think but haven't tired). More info -> http://www.textasticapp.com/

A quick inquiry to all of your - I'm introducing navdata into phpVMS, for routes, just mainly a cosmetic thing. But it's quite a bit of overhead, to be honest. Here's how I've worked it out - Navigation data - fixes, waypoints, etc are on the API server. On first "use" they'll be retrieved, and stored in your database, though I'll make it available for you to load completely, locally. The reason I did this was because it's over 200,000 rows - about 6mb worth of data. It's also indexed, so that brings it to maybe 12mb size - quite a bit. But again, I'll have the .sql dumps available for download, in case you do want to load all of it locally. It doesn't do anything excep…

Something that might be quick and easy: (I hope it is) Is there a way to group awards ( or add groups) to later sort them out?

Hey guys, Just pondering the thought today and was wondering if (in the future) you were planning on releasing a version that doesn't require FSPassengers/ACARS to file PIREPs? Just a general question.. I think that'd be a nice idea as I know lots of people don't like to use ACARs/Passengers and just like to file the flightplan using a form. Just wonderin'.. Happy New Years, Austin.

I couldn't find this information anywhere, so I will ask here. DO I earn virtual currency when I fly for a VA using phpVMS? Does the VA I fly for earn money when I successfully complete flights? Do the VAs have to pay to maintain FBOs? Do the VAs have to pay for aircraft and the maintenance of those aircraft? If I do earn virtual currency, may I spend this virtual currency on virtual goods? If the answer to the majority of these questions are "yes", an active VA should hire me now, because I have been looking for something like what I think this is for a long time.

You only have to register once to have access to all areas of the site! See you there! This is NOT a VA site so no competition here It is a flight simulation discussion site.

One stupid question, Is there a timeout for the live map and flights online ? Because I tested fsacars yesterday with fsx and it crashed... My flight is still shown even if the status is "FSCARS closed". Imagine 50 flights a days, the map would light up like Xmas tree ;D Cheers !

Hi Folks, I was just wondering how many of you are using the live fuel pricing? If you are using it, how do you find it is working out? To date, I have been using a generic fuel price but would like to move to the live pricing. I just was wondering if it seems to be going alright at this point or what is there that I need to watch out for. Thanks, Chuck CYXU

Nabeel I have to appauld you on 2 fronts. First for making a wonderful product that has gone beyond what most would consider to be typical. Secondly, because of the first, you are bringing together some of the flight simulation community to actually help each other. Congrats Nabeel.

1. I've been experimenting with spry-based drop down menus. While they work fine, I'd like to set one up so it only appears after the pilot is logged in. What is the best way to do this? 2. Somewhere, I saw a thread where there were several graphics that could be used to advertise phpVMS. I can't recall where I saw it and no keyword I can think of allows me to successfually search for it. Anyone know where it is? 3. Duh, I forgot what 3 is.

Before I take the plunge and move to the latest version, are there any caveats I should know of. I figure it is better to ask first, rather than get grumpy later. ;D

Hey everyone, I think I am going to remove flight legs. Now since you can enter letters into the flight numbers, the leg's are kinda "obsolete", since you can just add it as part of the flight number. Also, FSACARS and FSPAX don't support it, so it's throwing things off with PIREPs and those finance calculations, and other 'future plans' which I have in mind. It just adds another layer of complexity, which is just giving me a big headache, and doesn't really serve a huge purpose (I don't think many of you are using legs) Just giving a heads up. Nabeel

I need some ideas for the simplest way to disolay rosters, hubs, fleet and routes on our site. As administrator, I can see all these things, but to diisplay the information on the site, I need to do something that someone who is no a php proficient person can cobble together. Any suggestions. or have I missed something really obvious?

Hi guys, I'm just wondering what should I purchase (Heathrow scenery). Either the UK2000 Heathrow Xtreme, or the Aerosoft Mega Airport London Heathrow? I'm looking for the most realistic possible. I have FSX if that helps. If you have another recommendation (that is heathrow), then please say. Please also vote on the poll, and WHY I should pick your choice?

Hey guys... recently I have been asked to make about 4 non FS related websites... Rather than start from scratch I plan on just using a CMS and skinning it. What is your favorite CMS? Pros/Cons Personally I like WordPress, but I am interested in trying new stuff. Anyone use eZ Publish?

I just was looking at a few details on my site and doing some tweaking. I went and vied the details for a schedule and I clicked the links that says Click TO View NOTAMS.

Good Evening Captains, I am going to write an article on a magazine about my virtual airline and generally the virtual flights. This will include an article with a presentation of my va and some faq about virtual airlines and flights. This is an aviation magazine but most readers do not know what a virtual flight or even airline is. I want you to suggest me questions in order to use them for the faq. The questions i have already built are: What is a virtual flight, IVAO and VATSIM? What is a virtual airline? What do i need to fly a virtual flight? Obviously i do not need the answers .
