Hey guys, great work! I was wondering if there is a chance to get some other language files. Maybe someone already did the translation work?! If not in which file can I find all the parts to translate? Thanks! Sascha

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 .

Hello everyone and Nabeel, I have started a brand new website for the dicussion of everything flight simulation which of course includes Virtual Airlines and the software tha runs them. Be sure and register and promote your phpVMS site and your VA at: http://www.fsxxp.com Nabeel and others be sure and write articles about your site and software after registering you will have Author memebership which means you can write an article about your VA and phpVMS and post in the forums. 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.

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

Ok, when i am on FS2004 and when i am at CYYZ and i was taxiing or landing and taxiing or while i am at CYYZ, then what happened is my Video Card stopped working and it recovered, but it still stops working again while i'm at CYYZ. But it does not do that to me at any other airports. My FS2004 version is 9.1 And my video card is a ATI 2040HD XT I do not have anything downloaded or add-on secnerys in my FS2004. Any solutions for this?

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?

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?

I know there have been other posts about this topic, but I'm wondering if it is possible, and how, to have my schedules updated automatically by a feed, since they change weekly. I run a Southwest Virtual. Does anyone know where/how I could find, access, and use it? Thanks!!

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.

I'd like the ability to directly control what users see when they first come to the site. Have some introduction text, images, and the like.Currently it just seems to show some statistics and its not a fantastic first impression especially for new users.

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.

Hi everyone, I recently invested in some new servers at a completely different datacenter for my web hosting business. I am yet to fully test them so this is where I have an idea. I'm thinking of running a limited amount of free basic PHPVMS hosting plans to check their reliability. So I'm asking the PHPVMS community if it is worth doing and something that you might be interested in. Obviously the free plan will be quite limited and obviously there will be paid plans (but I won't advertise those here if you don't want that). So if you could just answer the following questions, that would be great: Would you be interested in free PHPVMS compatible hosting? : Y/N Are …

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.

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.

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…

Hello there, We have a system where pilots can submit schedules that they wish to add to our databases. They are then validated and added by one of the admins. Given that I know the pilot's ID is there a built in function/class that will allow me to send the pilot an email with i.e. "Hi there, your schedule request was accepted and added" Of course, there is the long way of sending an email with PHP, but phpvms has so many built in features, I am wondering if a mailing feature is also present.

Hello everyone,I am CEO/Founder of the Virtual Airline "FlyZen". We are currentlyusing the PHPVMS system and are loving the simplicity of it aswellas the usability and the customization as far is the system goes. But myself and others among my staff agree that it cold use a little cutomization per airline , so we are creating PHPVMS[DEFINITIVE], a completley new project built of of the PHPVMS system. it will still have relativley the same feel as the project and will only mod a few key aspects of the system such as--A message center allowing for Administration and members to communicate between eac other wiht ease-A very different aproach to FSACARS will be added, using c…
