Hello community, I been thinking of build an IFS or in flight entertainment system for pilots, which can be used to view videos listen to music and chat. I wanted to see what would be the demand for it if any. So am starting this topic to see how many of you would actually use something like that or how many would like to have it. Feedback is most appreciated.

Hello i have a problem that has been bugging me for a long and while flying on VATSIM. I have been unable to use VOICE on my laptop in FSX. It starting to really bug me now, because its not realistic to use text only and makes it hard for the controller. Basically i can transmit audio but i cannot hear it, this also applies to other programs too not only FSX, lets say i want to skype with someone and watch a YouTube video, nope i cant do that. So to put simply i cannot multitask with audio between two different programs. This is really really starting to annoy me now as i have been deal with this for months and months, please help.

Does anyone use SMF 2 and is the SSI to show latest post on your frontpage_,main.php? I had a code that worked years ago, that doesn't work anymore. I am downgrading from IPB. Now I remember why I left SMF...lol I can't seem to get it too work. As shown in the SSI example I have this code on the top of the <html> <?php require("/home/flyakaco/public_html/forums/SSI.php"); ?> and have this to display the latest post, on my frontpage_main.php <?php ssi_recentPosts(); ?> I get an error and my site is all whacked.

There have been a number of comments in the shoutbox regarding the delayed approval of posts and comments from new users. Unfortunately, the forum's spam blocker has expired and the forum is being overcome by the spam posts and new spam members. The only way that we could combat this at first was to lock all new members down to have to have their first 5 posts approved by a moderator prior to allowing all the posts to be automatically visible. This was a valid solution for a while but at this point it is very time consuming to dig through all the new posts and comments that need approval, especially when the topic titles are not on point. I have attached a few images to…

I have been experiencing an onslaught of registrations from members with names in all capitals that all resemble each other on a number of sites I manage. I am not completely sure what they are up to but I do not think it is anything that would be considered beneficial to your virtual airline. They most prevalent seem to be: ADEREMI MARTINS BELLO OLUJIMI EZEKIEL FATIMIRO NURAIN IDOWU BELLO LATEEF AKINOLA IBRAHIM IGHODALE NELSON OKHADE YETUNDE O ADIATU IGHODALO NELSON OKHADE TEMIDAYO PAUL AMOSUN SUNDAY RACHEAL KOLO AL MUNIRU AJIBOLA OYELOLA They all register with various VATSIM id's, none of which are legit, various hub choices, and various countries. As fast …

What's with the high volume of notifications lately? Has anyone else been getting these? I imagine that this forum license has expired meaning the spam blocker is also expired. All these usernames have zero post and most of them joined yesterday. It's annoying!

Unfortunately, i haven't seen any post where we can show our cockpit sets. So, let me start... It consists of two displays, the Siatek Pro Flight Yoke System, a Samsung Galaxy Tab II 10,1" as an FMC (using a specific application), two keyboards and one kneeboard which can be laced on my foot in order to help me write down the notes i want during my flight.

Hello, When I receive a pirep from my pilots, the system don't do the good calculation for the fuel used. (See image) I have in my local config file the fuel in Kg. Look in image the flight details, 5.1€ unit, I suppose that this is for Kg. The fuel cost is more than the gross revenue... Can someone help me? Thanks, Alex

Good Afternoon/Morning, For a period of time now, I have been thinking about a Virtual Airline Awards System. This is something that I was looking into creating, in a large scale. I am looking for your feedback, and if you think this is worth the time investing. Let me sum up my Idea: Basically, I want to have a third-party independent website that is coded in a way that every semester/quarter a group of virtual airlines are nominated by the public to receive various awards. These awards will vary from Best Fleet Design, to Most Active Staff. All of the awards require nominations, and final decision by judges(Therefore nothing that is recorded by phpvms in number, such …
