So a competitor has came out with a system much like phpVMS in it's own kind of new way. They claim they are superior to phpVMS because phpVMS is all full of bugs. Here is my take on it. 1. I love their software has a bootstrap template. 2. They have some awesome features that are integrated in or being worked on that others here are charging for. 3. It is actively being developed. Their cons: 1. No one is developing templates for it or modules. 2. It has a few bugs it self. Not even going to lie. 3. Their support forum is .... Well, meh. Great if you speak Spanish. If you are speaking fluent English, forget about it. 4. Typos galore! As far as it being superior…

I'd like to setup a chat server so our pilots can talk to each other. Can anyone guide me on how to learn more about this. Two criteria. #1 it has to be free #2 I'd like to be able to integrate it somehow with phpVMS Thanks

I know I know, someone's sure to say I'm asking too many questions :-P Anyhow, is there a way to integrate or add in the SMF forums ssi? I'd rather post news in the forums and have them show up on the website (instead of the built in news). I've tried and I get a ssi error. Go ahead and yell at me for it, but I added the require ssi.php to the htmlhead.tpl and the code for the board on the frontpagemain.tpl . I'm not going to run it, cause as I said, it throws an error and I'd really like my website up instead of the error. Thanks ya'll.

I've seen a few people making and distributing IFE systems for VA's to offer to their pilots, but I don't buy into the concept. I understand that a long haul flight can be boring, but I don't see a need for an IFE. Those I've seen being advertised here are just glorified iframes with media being streamed from external sources inside them. There is no integration with the flight sim software, so it's just as easy to run the sim in a window, and watch media stored on the PC in another window. costs nothing, and almost certainly works better than some of these IFE's. Another thing to consider if the media being streamed is stored on the VA's server, is that streaming media i…

Hi all, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself around here, so off we go! My name is Stefan, and currently I'm doing an IT Management study, and next to that I'm doing my PPL course. I was looking for software that would allow me to manage a virtual airline convienently, but also be able to costumize it to my preferences. Well, I have to say that PhpVMS looks rather daunting at first, but fortunatly I've got the rest of this week still off so I've got plenty of time on my hands to bite into it. But I do like to ask if anyone around here has a couple tips for a newcomer like me. I do have experience with basic HTML, but none with PHP. So every tip, ever…

Me and my COO were sitting in our teamspeak earlier discussing things when a random user named Colin Woody popped in. We have never given anything about our website or teamspeak out. He claimed to be a web designer working for Boeing and Mcdonald Douglas and coded a majority of their website. He claims to have done a lot of work with PHPVMS and actually had a fair amount of knowledge about the system. Now he wants to be a web designer for my VA. What should I do? He also has a VATSIM ID. Should I let him join or is he a little too suspicious? Cody

Currently I'm on shared hosting and so far it is working fine but I know as my airline grows I may need to move over to a dedicated server. I'm asking any who have dedicated hosting plans what they would recommend. Thanks!

This was in the news when I woke up this morning and is quite interesting. It would appear Mr.Stelios is planning the launch of his own airline in competition to Easyjet. Fastjet it's called and the website says coming soon: www.fastjet.com Read it here: http://news.sky.com/home/business/article/16077489 Good luck to anyone asking permission to start a virtual airline under that name!

Had an email from Jeff today he was building me a custom Kacars he gave me a full refund and this post is not a post to slag him off or anything. But anyway this is his auto response to a email i sent him to see if the tracker would be ready and this is what it said AUTO-RESPONSE At this time I am not accepting any orders. I am extremely busy with personal items and do not have the time to devote to coding at this time. I will only be handling support at this time. Support emails will be handled but may be handled slowly. Please be patient. I will get to them. Any email regarding orders will not be responded to at this time. As soon as I get some time I will be…

So taking a break from Dreamweaver and decided to give the VHHX scenery a run for its money while fogged in. i noticed though the fog layer is not what fog should look like, yes i know its a game and there is rex to make it look real but my computer is not the best in world but is somewhat decent but flytampa, JF-757-200 and REX just don't get along very well on my graphics card so with that said can anybody recommend me to a fog add on that would replace the fsx hase if so that would be great.

Fellas, I am in a world of hurt here. I am taking a class on VB and personally I hate it. I have a project to do that has to do with using constants, functions and sub procedures. It is due by tonight (Tuesday) at 11:59 pm EST If there is anyone at all who knows VB and would not mind helping me out, I would REALLLLLLLY appreciate it. The project is all over the net, but the code to me is useless because I do not know if it is right or wrong and if I do not name my buttons and such exactly like they did, the code will not work anyhow. I am in a real bind here and rarely to never ask for help doing my school work. Taking this course on VB made me realise something REAL …

I was wondering if anyone out there could teach me how to paint aircraft. My graphics skills have never been good and I am not real good at images. I do have adobe photoshop 8 and adobe photoshop elements as well as paint shop pro 9. I have tried to do aircraft before but never could figure it out. If anyone wished to teach me that would be awesome. Oh I also have some converter that you have to have to do it as well. I even tried to follow along with the tutorials at gjsmith.net Not sure what I could ever do to return the favor as I am a broke college man with 3 kids to take care of, but I am always good for something. Let me know. If not that's cool too.
