After an upgrade to my development server, I have a test version on phpVMS up and running. After downloading and updating the Kacars module and connecting via the program nothing is being transmitted to the mySQL database. Not sure if a port is closed or what? Windows Server 2008 R2 Website is hosted on IIS 7.5 www.hphvirtual.com/site/ Thanks for the help, Tom

Hello to all. I know we have tossed around the fuel issue with kACARS many times, but fellas, something is not jiving for me. Look at the numbers in the log first and then look up top where the arrow is pointing. Something is not set right or I am missing something very important. a 1 hour flight loosing almost 1 million dollars in fuel? I know the site is supposed to convert fuel and all that and I read a thread that kACARS reports in pounds and then converts according to the site config. Am I missing something of value? I just can not seem to come to terms with fuel and kACARS. As always though, I do like kACARS better than any device out there. I think it is a grea…

Hey there. First of all thank you for that great tool - we would like to ask for a new feature. Would it be possbile to change the LBS Recording to KG Recording? That would be very helpfull to work with phpvms in Germany. Thank you!

Is there an error log someplace for kACARS? I have this all installed on my local computer. I am using http://localhost/phpvms as my BaseURL. Everything seems fine (I can connect, I see my Flight Bids, I can start recording and fly my flight), but when I click on File PIREP, it comes back with the normal "PIREP Filed OK" box, but it isn't actually updating the database with anything. It's as if the PIREP just vanishes into thin air. I do see the contents of the PIREP in the send.xml file, but as I say, nothing is going into the database. Where can I look to find out why? Cheers.

Hey Fellas, I was just wondering is it possible to have cabin announcements or recorded cabin announcements added in kACARS Custom? http://luvswava.org Used recordings before, But now they are using automated generated voice thingies for each different airport. And i Found that VERY COOL! Let me know if it is possible, and feel free to say how cool it would be to have that!

Hello I've had already a few times that the fuel consumption posted by kacars was incorrect. I think I've got it narrowed down to that you have to set your fuel *before* hitting start flight, but not sure. Today one of my pilots logged this, however: [16:22] Aircraft Title - Boeing 737-400 [16:22] Aircraft Model - B734 [16:22] Flight Number EUR2040 [16:22] Departure LFML [16:22] Destination EDDM [16:22] Boarding [16:25] Pushing Back [16:25] Taxiing to Runway [16:30] Taking Off [16:30] Taking Off [16:30] 177kts [16:30] pitch angle 5 degrees [16:30] 5700 (lbs) of fuel onboard [16:31] Climbing [16:49] TOC Reached [16:49] Cruise 31000 [17:05] Stall [17:05]…

Hello I got the following error message the other day (see screenshot) and then kacars crashed. Any idea what could be the matter? I had a similar issue some time ago which took down my fsx completely and afterward kacars didnt work any more - had to reinstall it and, as I later found out, remove profile files which the uninstaller had left behind

Mark, a while back you made a post about flight report delay with kacars. You removed the listener for top pilots and made it a cron. Can you share how you did that?

As a virtual pilot and as a va flight validator i would like to know if it is possible for kAcars to send the flight with the aircraft flown and not with the aircraft which is selected on the database.

I just wanted to say publicly that I purchased the custom version of this and I like the functionality and ease of use. Jeff is always quick to reply if there are any issues. If you're thinking of purchasing this program, it will be money well spent. Thanks Jeff you do a great job.

Hello everybody, I suspect couple of my VA pilots are using some tricks to edit their flight log recorded by kACARS before filing PIREPs to servers. There is a guy who used to have super bad landing rates & too many over-speeds in his flight log. He was very desperate to get in Top 10 Landing List. All of the sudden he began reporting absolutely perfect PIREP with no over-speed, no sim-paused & landing rates always below -100fpm. Now he tops in landing list with -14fpm & 4th spot with -20fpm. Me & many of my VA members suspect if he is using some tricks to edit his flight log before filing PIREPs. We decided to perform research on internet & one of ou…

OK guys, maybe i have found an kAcars error... or not... i dunno. problem is this: I have got one airline that works like a charm. landing rate ok, finances are ok... no issue at all. Now. I have added a second airline (cargo division). I select a new flight that i created for this airline.. i fly it using kAcard (custom !) and when i finish the flight, the landing rate is shown but the finances are at ZERO. I did select the cargo capacity of the airplane when adding it. i also selected "cargo" flight for this specific route. Does anyone know about this or can help me solve this issue? Thanks Lucas

I am currently using kAcars Free v1.0.0.9 and I had to reinstall my entire system (PC). I installed kAcars Free 1.0.0.9 and noticed the following: I can create VA Profiles in the Options | VA Profiles menu dialog. There I see two listed, Template and my own VA entry. When I chose mine I see the Base URL, Pilot ID and Password on the dialog, so far so good. The problem is if I click on the X button it exits which is understandable. However, if I click on the button that has the floppy icon "Save Edited Profile" rather than exiting the dialog and set the Main controls to the chosen profile, it simply leaves the VA dropdown to the VA I chose but clears out the Base URL, Pi…

I am a bit confused. In my VA I am using currently the 1.0.0.9 version. However, when I visit the FS Products website it says the latest kAcars Free version is 1.0.1.6 thus newer than mine. However, when I chose the Download link of the FS Products site it brings me to the download page of phpVMS and there it downloads version 1.0.1.1 instead. So, which one is really the last version?

ok, one of my pilots has an issue. For some odd reason, whenever he files a pirep, it arrives on the system with numbers in the airfield fields instead of names? It only happens with him, and no one else. He has re-installed Kacars, and assured me everything his end looks ok, but i asm awaiting a screenshot to prove it as you can see from this log it has number where the airfield names should be.? any ideas why this happens?

I used a custom Kacars, and it works great. but I wondered if this was possible to code in? as the fleet get's used, and aircraft land at an airport, is it possible to only show, in the aircraft list in Acars, aircraft that are at the airport that the current bid is starting from? I ask, as I have pilots who just pick random aircraft, and fly them, aircraft which were not actually located where they started the flight Not sure if it is possible, but if it could, it would be great

Hello, We have been experiencing a problem with our new Custom kACARS system. When one of our pilots finish a flight they will still be on our live flight maps and such and just marked as arrived. The only that i know how to fix it is to go into phpmyadmin and delete the pilot that is marked as arrived in the database acars_data. The reason we can not use the script built into the admin center is because we usually have more than one flight in the air at a time, so we cant clear all the data. thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated.

This has probably been asked before, but kACARS reports fuel in pounds to phpvms, then it gets recorded as kilograms. When doing manual pireps, pilots need to convert lbs to kgs. I was just wondering if there is a way to get phpvms to record fuel in lbs instead of kilograms.
