Hi all, I'm looking for a front-end developer, with heavy experience in Javascript (backbone, ember, sencha), and experience with Phonegap/Apptanium. Some PHP is good. Must be willing to learn and go the extra mile to figure things out. You need to be able to architect and code some fairly complicated UIs, with code-reuse and develop libraries for use across multiple interfaces. Preferably in the NY area and can commute to Stamford, CT once a week or so, but if you're particularly strong we can maybe do a work-from-remote. It's a really cool startup, and I'll be your boss Let me know if you're interested, or know someone who is.

Can someone send me a Dreamweaver template? I know they have some markup in it, with the content tags, etc. I'd like to either somehow have phpVMS parse it directly, or instructions on how to translate from that to phpVMS (which should be real simple with the layout.tpl format)

Pontchartrain Virtual Airlines-Help Wanted Two and a half years ago I came up with an idea to develop a virtual airline that would work as a business lab for my high school Free Enterprise students. In that time Nabeel has worked very patiently with me to help me bring this idea into reality. Hence I owe him a debt of thanks that I wish to make public here. Moreover, Pontchartrain Virtual Airlines would not even be on the drawing board without Nabeel’s help, guidance and understanding. The Readers Digest explanation of the concept is as follows. When the VA goes on line, it will be as though it were the early 1950’s. As a result we will fly the DC-3 only. I have a …

Web Tip #1: Use PHP to display the copyright year on your webpage, don't use plain html you will forget to update it. Replace © 2014 Redwood Virtual With © <?php echo date ('Y'); ?> Redwood Virtual Remember, if this is on an static .html page, you must rename the extension to .php. .tpl in phpVMS is fine because you are displaying content within a module created with a .php extension.

Trying to source some payware paints for my A330. There are so many models and a few are quite inaccurate looking, like Wilco. I'd like to know what models everyone offers repaints for (A330 only).

So I spent a few hours designing a website for a new project I'm thinking of starting. This morning I started with the repaint but after a couple of hours, the design I thought looked great in photoshop: Turned out to be rubbish in FSX: Would anyone have any ideas/tips on how I can make the repaint more realistic? Thanks :-) James

Hello everyone Hopefully a few of you will remember who I am. I'm James and I disappeared from these forums a few months back just before releasing Fs-Magazine.com with another member. Anyway's I'm glad to see that phpVMS is still going strong and I love the new forum layout! I am thinking of creating a brand new project over the coming months and I wanted it to be a free service that could be provided to Virtual Airlines using phpVMS. For those of you who may have remembered Fs-Magazine launching, you would probably already know that it was far off from a success and is now in the process of being shut down by the original creator I believe. After a few hours of thi…

Hi,I've tested the latest build, and I have following remarks/problems:ADMIN CENTER- add airlines -> options: no entries show up in the box- add schedules: lay-out is still not clear at my pc- add flight schedules: an extra notes field should be handy. Customizable fields as the pirep fields even more!- add flight schedules: distance calculator could be handy, this site is easy and appropriate for it: http://www8.landings.com/cgi-bin/nph-dist_apt?pass=83851578&airport1=EBBR&airport2=UUDD&waypoints=&airspeed=&endurance=&display=map&trackwidth=10 (Where the icao codes in bold should every time be changed by the system, just a button next to th…

Hello fellas! Hope the skies are blue and the winds are fair! Have not had much of an opportunity to get on lately and do any web work or flying for that matter. I hope to change that soon as soon as I get the college schedule worked out and in action. Being 44 and going to school kind of sucks lol Anyhow, hope all is well and I can not wait for phpVMS 3 to come out. I am looking forward to seeing some awesome VA websites when it does come out. Take fellas and keep the blue side up! Ray

I started advertising for positions with my VA last week, and I've had a steady trickle of applications for those positions so far. One thing I've noticed from most of these applicants is that they seem to be more after the staff jobs, purely because of the status of staff jobs, and aren't really interested in helping running a VA. Some even seem to be not interested in taking advantage of the flights and everything else that the VA offers. It's a shame really, because the positions available offer up the chance for those who take them to have a real say in how the VA develops. I would have jumped at that chance when I started getting into VA flying. I've now stated that …

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…

Ok, when i am on FS2004 and when i am at CYYZ and i was taxiing or landing and taxiing or while i am at CYYZ, then what happened is my Video Card stopped working and it recovered, but it still stops working again while i'm at CYYZ. But it does not do that to me at any other airports. My FS2004 version is 9.1 And my video card is a ATI 2040HD XT I do not have anything downloaded or add-on secnerys in my FS2004. Any solutions for this?

Hey guys, as we are a business va we don't need a scheduling system in which you have to fill in a detailed departure and arrival time. Our pilots should be free in their choice of day and time. Is there any module which solves the problem that you have to fill in the date and time? All we need is a date on which the flight should at the latest be done. Hope you know what I mean! And is it possible that our pilots can create a schedule on their own, so that the pilots can book exactly the flights they wanna fly? Thanks!

Hey guys, So this is a question for you all/virtual airlines: Discord vs Teamspeak, which one do you prefer using for your virtual airlines, and if you're a member of a VA which does the VA use? Secondly, do you know the pros and cons of each? which do you prefer? And finally, if I was to use teamspeak, how many slots is advised for a small start-up virtual airline? I look forward to hearing from you all.

I'm having problems with FS9. I rebooted my PC recently and luckily FS9 survived and all other programs. I was able to restore all my documents too. However, I have since been unable to start FS9. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a solution. I have tried all the solutions on the Microsoft website - none work. I edited some things: I used the SquawkBox SMS generator to generate WOAI models for VATSIM I added a new aircraft, which has since been deleted I editied the FS9.cfg, but I also tried restoring it Any suggestions? I am really struggling and am very annoyed now!

Hi all, I'm having some problems. I'm trying to create a repaint for a virtual airline. I'm using Photoshop CS6 to create the repaint, I've been following youtube videos on how to repaint aircrafts. I seem to be doing really well, Creating textures, converting to DDS, creating the correct files on fsx. The problem starts when opening the repainted aircraft in fsx. Take a look at the attached images to see what the problem is. Any ideas on what is wrong, please contact me. Thanks.
