Hello, I hope I am posting in the correct forum, It has been a while since I came back to phpVMS Forums. I would like to offer a great hosting package that can get your virtual airline in the air in no time. I am Will, I am from www.morganwebhosting.co.uk, we are a small Yorkshire based company that hosts websites, firstly I would like to share something about my past experience of running a virtual airline, I used to run a virtual airline at www.fsxworldwidevirtual.com, long name i know, and we had free webhosting from a well known webhost, it was a nice enough company, he offered to give us free webhosting because we gave him customers with our contacts to the flight…

Hi Guys, I have built a flightplan parser that does all sorts of things including reading airways and breaking them up into their constituent waypoints. To do this it directly references the X-Plane waypoint databases. Must easier than sending tons of queries to MySQL. Now I have it all working in parser.php but want to include it into a template file so that it neatly fits into my VA site. The database file's don't seem to be found even when i reference them with i.e. 'http://www.vasite.com/files/waypoints.idx' Basically how do I integrate the stuff I have into the Codon interface? Cheers, Nout

Hi Nabeel, Just wondering if it is possible to show the live status map, and data available to code into the frontpage_main? Would be nice for our pilots to be able to see themselves on the front page of the site. All the best.

All of us who has Saitek Hardware like the Mutlipanel should take a look at http://fstools.weebly.com/. I found it on the Web. Description from their site: Spad is a replacement driver for the Saitek Pro-Flight Radio, Multi and Switch panel. Spad implements features like: - Compatibility with addon aircraft supporting keystrokes and virtual joystick button (using Peter Dowson's FSUIPC) - Improved knobs sensitivity with tunable acceleration - Additional features like altimeter barometric regulation - Many bugs fixed (missed glide slope in FS2004, Nav1 switch etc.) - Much better stability Spad is free ! Spad is in active development, join the forum and contribu…

Hey Guys, I'm in the process of finalising my site and operations, (www.aura-airlines.com) but I have a question about ticket prices for schedules. I've flown two test flights and suddenly my VA has got £16M in the bank ;D as much as I wouldnt mind my personal bank account to reflect this sort of amount, It seems I may have set my ticket prices a tad high. Can anyone advise what an average ticket price would be? My airline is based around Specialist Charters to parts of the Globe that are considered generally highly dangerous flying areas/airports. Obviously its easier to work out ticket prices for General Airline flying into holiday destinations as they can refl…

I noticed that there is an embedded METAR in the pilot brief page, and would like to be able to do this on another website (i.e. not phpVMS), but I can't find the code to do it. How is it embedded, and does it use PHP or JavaScript?

Any XACARS users here know if there is a way to change fuel from pounds or gallons to kilograms? I searched but did not find any relevant info on the subject.

I know this isn't quite related to phpvms, but as a new VA, I don't have tons of knowledge or resources for getting things done as of yet. So I'm asking the PHPVMS community if anyone knows of a good resource for making repaints for a VA. I have a few different A/C needing painted for my fleet. Cheap or free would be awesome. I have an example of what I would like done.

Hello Everyone,After much discussion and overview of this fantastic project I will make it public that Northeast officially announces the use of PHPVMS. We will pick it up on its scheduled release date of August 9, 2008, and plan to have systems up and running by January due to a hectic schedule for the administration. I would like to say personally to Nabeel, Thank you fro working very hard on this project and making it free and open source to develop on. I will personally see to it that PHPVMS will be the one and only true VA system...Thank you,NEVA

When you add/edit an aircraft, it has spaces for links to images and downloads. Where would you see the image or find the download link on the site if you were a pilot?

Okay this is going mostly to Nabeel but also to all the others, providing this project with new addons.. Id like to thank everybody for what they did and for what will come.. When i started my virtual airline Pan American Airways, i had to decide what to use. It took me some days to figure out, that there arent lot of such systems. Finally i had the choice between vabase and phpvms. Now I was one of those guys who thought that payware is always better and so i bought vabase. This was a big mistake because they dont have a good support and everything has to be customized and it would take weeks to get it even running in a decent way. Then i tried out phpvms which was t…

Thanks Nabeel, you are indeed a good man. Are you a teacher? I ask because you bring out the best qualities of an educator. If you don’t mind a bunch of what might seem to you like really dumb questions, then I want to use your administrator. Here is a good one to start off with. When I down load your virtual airline administrator I am assuming I am getting an operating platform that is more or less a template that runs a VA; is that correct? From there will I be prompted to enter my data? For example I have worked out, or better said nearing the end of working out a clockwork route system that has over 750 daily fights. I would assume there are prompts that allow me to …

I just imported some routes, and it would appear that the calculated distances are a bit excessive. For example the distance from PHNL to RJAA is 3886 miles, but the system is calculating 17944. It looks like the problem occurs as one crosses the international date line.

I have 2 questions about the phpVMS API and about using it with VB applications. First of all is it possible to use the API to view things like previous pireps, schedules, etc but also submit PIREPs via it (plus adding comments) and view/alter the pilot profile. Also is there ways to also use admin functions and control everything which you can via the admin panel. The reason is I am considering making an application client for my virtual airline so the pilot changes everything in the app, instead of online. Its mainly going to be made for experience as I am planning on making another application, but this will be a little practise and I am mainly doing this because ther…

I have FSFK working very nicely, locally. The ACARS gauge is cool. I have my va-template in the correct directory, but need to know what I must do next to get it to work with phpVMS. I've looked at the other threads on fsfk, but haven't quite figured it out. Sorry, I'm having another dumb day.

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
