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. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider signing yourself.

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…

Need Ideas

Other than UAV (which is having issues at this time) I am thinking of a new Virtual Airline to create, which will start up this summer. It will be fictional, and there is my problem. I was wondering if you have any ideas for a name or scheme or something. Here are some plans I am thinking of: US Based Main hub in Minneapolis or Midwest location Other hubs TBD I want it to kind of be a laid-back, leisure airline. (Like Ted was) Any thoughts/ideas to jolt my mind would be appreciated.

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. OMG103 PHNL (07:00 UTC) RKPK (16:30 UTC) M T W R F S B767-300ER (OMG763) 17318.1 0 P (0/1000) OMG102 PHNL (07:00 UTC) RJGG (15:00>UTC) M T W R F S B767-300ER (OMG763) 17825.3 0 P (0/800) OMG101 PHNL (07:00 EST) RJOO (15:30 EST) M T W R F S B767-300ER (OMG763) 17750.4 0 P (0/900) OMG100 PHNL (07:00 EST) MMMX (14:30 EST) M T W R F S B767-300ER (OMG763) 3812.58 0 P (0/900) OMG9…

Hi everyone, I know there are many Virtual Airlines out there now, and I was thinking of something that I could do, which doesn't involve creating a Virtual Airline but still on the line of Flight Simulation. Any ideas are kindly appreciated Cheers!

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.

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.

We have numerous flights in our database. The flight numbers are generated by us, but occasionally a pilot may want to fly a trip using an historical timetable. How can he submit a pirep using a flight number that may not be in my database? Is it possible? Thanks!

Hi Guys, Just incase any of you haven't heard, AVSIM was recently taken down by hackers, which in effect destroyed their complete forum, and downloads databases. These guys have been running for 13 years now. Here is the BBC link. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8049780.stm AVSIM have setup a temporary forum in the meantime, until they get their site redeveloped. Hope you guys don't mind me posting this here; but i feel it is a great loss to the FS community. http://linux.myalbemarle.org/forums/index.php -James

As the title suggests, phpVMS is what I am looking for, but I was wondering whether there was any chance of VATSIM being included in phpVMS in the near future. I've noticed that vaBase does have it already integrated but after looking around they seem like a very dodgy company and the code is supposedly bad. Cheers, Max.

never used it, never knew it existed until I signed up here. Is it better or more stable than FSACARS and do flights show up on the map like they do with FSACARS? Recommendations for which ACARS is better?

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…

I'm using live fuel prices and all I can say is "ouch". As of the time of this posting my VA has 79 flights recorded with over $3,000,000.00 spent in fuel! Thank goodness I have plenty of "virtual passengers" flying with us or I'd go bankrupt. Sorry, just had to post this little bit of silliness. Keith

I just wanted to swing by and say hello to all and see how things were going? I am about 4 or 5 beta versions behind now as time slips by me. I have been finding myself in the hospital and doctors offices now when not at work. Makes it kind of hard to work on a website or even fly for that matter. I do find an hour a week to brew up a new batch of home brew beer though. I hope to get back into the swing of things soon and I hope everyone here is doing well. Have a great day/night Ray

Hi Guys, Having never really dealt with Civillian VA stuff before... not in a big way... I thought ID take the opportunity of an empty private flight server, and unlimited web resources to run a Civie VA alongside my ongoing Military Project. I was hoping the illustrious community here could advise me what in the way of ACARS programs is the best way to go? Cheers in advance.

Hi all, Just letting everyone know I might be on hiatus for a bit - I've just got too much stuff going on at once in my personal and professional life, and it's now too much for me to keep up. As for the last beta, there are some things still broken, I will try to get those fixed as soon as I can. I didn't just want to run out without a heads up. Thanks for understanding I'm not completely disappearing, I just won't be on as often as I have been. Just too much going on and I need time to recharge. fivedev people - no worries, I'm still handling support 100%, and there's a backup for when I'm not around.

Hello all I was thinking of developing a android program for phpvms but to be honest i do not find any usage so my question to all of you is IF there was a android program for PHPvms what features would you want it to have ? and what would be the max money that you would want to spend for your airline ? Thanks

Hi, i just thought of a good idea maybe to bring in to phpvms at some time.. there are a few pilots out there who fly with fspassanger and they can end up with emergency and stuff like that.. i think that if this happens there should be somethink in the sytem that allows you to land at a closer airport as long as you declare a mayday . and still be able to file the flight as it will say in the pireps that you declared a mayday?? and thought on this i think it would be great and it saves pilots having to land and start the flight again ??
