6-23-17 I have seen phpVMS go through many different phases in what is nearly 10 years since I stumbled across it. Nabeel has been able to create the defacto application for people that want to start or run a virtual airline and keeping it free and open source deserves nothing but appreciation for Nabeel. I as many others have benefited from his work, both financially and not. I apologize to all those that were/are affected by my absence for quite some time both here on the forum and at SimpilotGroup. Things have changed in my life and my attention can not waver from my real world responsibilities for the foreseeable future. While I had hoped things would get to…

Hi All, I was looking for a chat platform for our virtual airline. Id like to use teamspeak3 as the privacy policy isn't that great for Discord but as my service provider only provides dynamic IP address i'm a little stuck with my choice. Has anyone had the same issue as me and been able to get around it? any help welcome

Hey guys, So this is a question for you all/virtual airlines: Discord vs Teamspeak, which one do you prefer using for your virtual airlines, and if you're a member of a VA which does the VA use? Secondly, do you know the pros and cons of each? which do you prefer? And finally, if I was to use teamspeak, how many slots is advised for a small start-up virtual airline? I look forward to hearing from you all.

Ok recently I have come once again upon the flying tigers group. If you arent familiar with them they create and run simulated real world airlines such as cathay, JAL etc. Now the only difference that I have seen between their sites and other simulated real world airlines is a notice at the bottom ( For Flight Simulation purposes only. Not a commercial site. Not affiliated or endorsed by any airline. 2002-2009 Name VA - All rights reserved). Now I have contacted a few airlines in the past about using their name ( some that the flying tigers have) and they said that using their name is prohibited and will result ina cease and desist. Ive looked into trademark and copyrigh…

As you may know, my VA's website has been down for a few months now. I have been trying free hosting companys non stop and trying to install phpVMS on the hosting but non of them seem to work. I can get the first installation page when you fill in the MySQL database info but can't get further than that. It doesn't allow me to. I don't know if its an issue with phpVMS, but it worked a while ago so I am assuming not. I was just wondering if somebody would be kind enough to give us free hosting for a few months, I hope it wont streach out too long but at the moment my webpage is quite rubbish, I just have a temporary website. I would require a panel account because I am wish…

Dear Friends, I have just read and signed the online petition: "Letter of Support for Microsoft's Flight Simulator Franchise" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition service, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/MSFS/ I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too.

To the VA community at large. Since December 2009 Pontchartrain Airlines has been a labor of love on the drawing board. Tuesday I joined this site and right away received very kind help from Nabeel and Dave over at New England Air. Many thanks to both of these gentlemen As a result of that help Pontchartrain Airlines has taken a major step toward becoming a reality. When operational we will fly The DC3 and The Constellation. Over time we intend to enter the jet age. Until then we will in essence at first be a southern regional carrier operating in the 1940’s. At this point we are a small mail carrier evolving towards passenger service. Historically the late 1920’s e…

I've seen a lot of cool stats listed on peoples sites but I can't figure out what code to put in do to what. I'm sure there is a list of what does what somewhere in the docs but I can't seem to figure out what is what. Heck, I don't even know how to link the contact module so I can have a contact form. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, I'm a network engineer so working with code is not really my thing. :-)

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'm getting desperate for this now and I'd do it myself but I'm far from talented. I'd be ever so grateful if someone would paint the FFG Saab 340 in the Flybe (Loganair) livery. I do not mind what the reg is - as long as it's an active one. You can download the paintkit here. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, Just throwing a question out there. I have a Nvidia 8800GTS videocard and i also use Nhancer to enhance the graphics. Now, my problem is that when i go out of my plane and look at the taxiway in the distance... i see that the lines on the taxiway and other details are blurry or something like that. i really dont know how to explain. Maybe you can see the video i attach to this post... Its similar to my problem.... Hope someone can tell me what settings i should adjust... Lucas

Hi guys, my ARTCC on vatsim will be hosting the first ever Vatventure.. It will take place all over the ZAU airspace, over 250 pilots expected each hour, so it will be really fun. Just from a insiders look at things, we will even be parking planes on the grass hehe. Please let me know if you or your VA will be attending. It would be great to see some VA's from here join in on the fun. The event information link is here - http://zauartcc.org/index.php?op=vvi Thanks Ada

Hello. I am working on setting up and organizing my VA. The name is FlyAmerica Virtual with headquarters located in Philadelphia. I was wondering if there was anyone here who would be willing to pain our fleet. I am unable to pay for the work but the livery I have in mind should be fairly simple.The fleet consists of 6 aircraft: Posky: 737-600, 737-800W, 767-200ER, 767-400ER, 777-200LR, 777-300ER. If anyone is interested please let me know here or at my e-mail: jesd_68@live.com. Thank you. I forgot to mention the time frame for completion is very extended. I would like to have all the aircraft painted in a 3-4 month period. I don't want to put a big load of work on someo…

Hey Guys, I now that you can use mysql_num_rows but with phpVMS theres the custom mysql connect syntax that makes everything a lot cleaner. i.e. DB::get_results($query) How do I count rows? (i.e. count the number of schedules with B747-400 departing EHAM) Cheers, Nout
