Was digging through VA Central and was looking at most of the VA websites that are a member there. I must admit, I was quite impressed by what I saw. VA websites have come a long way since I first started simming WAYYYYYYY back when. All of the sites I saw were great! Makes mine look very very bad. :-[ Maybe one of these days I will be able to afford to have a skin made for me. My skills are so dam weak it is not funny. I can integrate mods and such, just cant skin to save my life. Anyhow, enough of my babbling on and on. Happy Holidays all and keep up the great work on your VA sites. Ray

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…

Is there any way to display all the awards earned on one page. Here is an example: I have a page that displays all the awards that are awarded at the airline. I'd like under each award to show what pilots earned that award. If you still don't have an idea what I'm talking about you can check out the below link. They have what I'm talking about. http://www.metroairvirtual.com/index.php?content=awardlist Thanks for the help!

Hello Nabeel I have 2 questions At this point i have about 700 flight schedules but here comes the question I have about 300 done flights But I want to refresh off all the flight schedules on new year. Is this possible (read) will this affect any off the old pireps that have been send Example: Now TAY 256= ebbr-lfpg a flight has been done and stored in the pireps db After new year TAY 256= ebbr- eddw. Will this give an error or not because we are a real live airline and our schedules change every 3 months and if this can’t be done we need to ad so many schedules And that would we sad. Second If I want to start a second airline within phpvms is it possible tha…

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.

Hey guys, I've just dropped phpVMS onto my webserver after having a few issues with vabase! :- It seems this software is much more robust and has a much nicer cleaner feel to it... so I'm impressed LOL I need some advice/assistance on modding the system to cater more for a new VA project im working on. I want to be able to achieve the following things: 1. Switch the emphesis from Civillian to Military Flying, things like Hubs becoming Stations/Bases for instance. This seems easy enough on a basic level but im not sure how far into the system i need to go to ensure all references are changed. 2. I want to disable all finances options as they really have no bearing o…

Hi Nabeel. I was just wondering, with the coding the way it is now, how hard would it be to make it so that awards name and description is a tooltip ( Alt Text ) when you mouse over an award image instead of it appearing beside the image. I think it would simply be for asthetics of course. I'm not asking for this to be a built in feature, was just a thought I had. I was going to take a stab at it, but I decided against it. Reason: Since I am on Beta, I hate to come back and report something broke after I altered it. That is not fair to waste your time like that on something that might be my fault.Â

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?

I'm adding a percentage for monthly expenses - should these be deducted off of the gross revenue, or the total remaining after all expenses, etc have been calculated? I'll have to ask my girl but she's not around (accounting major haha), but maybe some of you have direct experience?

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…

For conversions... I suck at these... // Convert units from gallons to lbs if(self::$unit == 'lbs') { $result->jeta = $result->jeta / 6.4; // 6.4 pounds per gallon $result->lowlead = $result->lowlead / 6.4; } elseif(self::$unit == 'kg' || self::$unit == 'kgs') { $result->jeta = ($result->jeta / 6.4) * .45359; $result->lowlead = ($result->lowlead / 6.4) * .45359; } Basically I start with the fuel price, per gallon. Then to convert to price per lb, divide by 6.4. To KG, I convert to lbs, then multiply by .45 to get to kg. This correct, seems rig…

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

Hello Nabeel Somewhere in the forum i was reading that you wanted to put all the airports in the dropdowns for filing a pirep. Is this done or not because the error I am having (http://bugs.phpvms.net/ticket/32) Won’t let me upload the schedules to vacentral. And I think this error is because we did some charters using xacars flights that aren’t in the database(airports). So if all the airports would be in the dropdown or so I could put them all in the database. Gr joeri

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'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 Nabeel or anyone that knows. I have a ton of data that needs to be brought over from VAFS. I've got everything in Excel so I will be able to format it as needed. I have over 200 aircraft, 500 airports, and 3400 routes. I really don't want to do this manually if at all possible. I did find the route csv template and I'm working on that but I'd like to know if there would be a faster way to import the aircraft and airports? Perhaps in one quick swoop. Maybe somehow through the DB? Thanks, Keith

Ok sorry I did that to get your attention ;D Offering free beer and not following through is just plain wrong. Anyone here good at graphics? I need a simple fix to my sig background. All I need is some text put on it that would look ok. I'm not picky at all and would be very greatful. All it needs is my VA name but every time I try it, I jack it up. Graphics and Ray do not belong in the same sentence together If not that's cool too. I can live with it for now. Thanks for Reading.

I have had a look for queries about this and couldn't find an answer. Could we have the option of using lbs/kg and $/€? Having frieght weight as lbs but fuel as kg will lead to problems for the beginners going between cargo and pax. I understand lbs better than kg. FS will show the fuel as either lbs or gallons, not seen it in kg or liters yet. I'm just thinking of the new admins like myself who have been caught out with the differences. Nice tool Nabeel, best one out I think.

Hello everyone, First I must say thank you Nabeel for great software. As the title states, I'm moving our VA to PHPVMS from VAFS but before I start the project I have a couple questions. 1. Currently in VAFS my pilots have already earned some v$. Would there be a way I could manually add that money to their account? 2. I'm assuming hours can be transferred as well? 2. I'm mainly waiting for v2 to be released because it has the features we need. It is OK to start working on skinnings, routes, etc on the beta version? I'm mean will it transfer over OK when v2 comes out? Thanks!

Hello, i'm wondering about one thing .. example: PILOT001 and PILOT002, they are in the same airline, both are using FSAcars reporting system .. the PILOT.ini file is the same except "PilotNumber=PILOT001" so, if PILOT001 will change his .ini file to "PilotNumber=PILOT002", he will send his report to PILOT002 account .. am i right? I find line "passwd=" and "Password=0" Please give me sollution, how and where to configured their own unique password. Step by step if possible Many thanks.

I am having issues with XAcars. Well I am not but a pilot helping me test site is. First, I notice it has a server password in the setup. Do we need to put pilot info from our website in here like pilot ID and email used to register on site? I am not real sure how to use this thing. I went to the website and viewed their documentation and all it shows is how to setup to use their test server. Lots of good that does me for my website ;D Other then that, I guess it is pretty cut and dry on how to use. Also, when this guy used XAcars it auto filed a pirep like it should have, but it did not add any pilot pay, nor did it have a place to add any pilot pay to the pirpe or a…
