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.

Were were talking on our forum and were wondering how does kACARS determine the landing rate? At touchdown the rate becomes zero, so is the rate determined at the moment of contact? One second prior? Two seconds? Is it an average of the last few seconds? And take off speed. Is it the IAS at the moment of liftoff? Just curious how these parameters are determined.

Dear pilots, First of all, let me introduce myself to this community. I'm Rui, 36 years old, I live in southern coast of Portugal, and I've created a new VA last year : FlyAlgarve VA, based in LPFR Faro airport. Our website : http://flyalgarveva.wifeo.com/ Now, I am looking for a flight logs system for my young VA... I found FSacars, kacars and VAFS. As we are a very young VA, we don not have money to spend in this kind of system, so I'm trying to introduce Kacars in our VA and our website but... to be honest, I do not understand anything about that, so I kindly ask some help. I don't know if our website is able to "receive" this kind of application... I don't know...…

Hi, I am trying to set up a new VA using phpVMS and kACARS_Free v1.0.1.1 and Module v1.0.1.1. When I try to Log In from the kACARS_Free I get the typical "Notify System Administrator of the Switch error. Data not recieved. Switch = Verify" I have researched the forum for similar problems and I have tried all the suggestions. Unfortunately I have not been able to resolve this issue so far. I will appreciate your help. I will try to describe my environment and what I have done from simple to more complex: 1- I have entered the URL as http://dev.flypgsva.org without the ending slash. 2- The client and the module are the latest available from the download site. 3- The…

As w know, a lot of us can connect to kacars or acars and with a lot of va's using both tracking services they can see on the acars map where each other is and can chat with each other bwforen or after they fly which makes chatting with them even harder.. I'm wondering if kacars and acars could stay a tracking service but eventually turn into a vatsim like area. Where instead of just seeing them from a map you could actually fly with them, and yes I know you could do that on vatsim as well but they may not always connect to vatsim so connecting to the acars Flightsim server would be much more fun, you could chat with each other as you fly no need for making ".msg ovaXX…

When I log in, I get a whole stack of the main page's sorts of codes blasted the whole length of my monitor.

Hello there, I am facing an issue with kACARS which kinda puzzles me. Basically, what has happened is I had to move hosts, due to an unfortunate free hosting suspension. It was a test account anyway for site development, and now we're looking to open the airline soon, so we moved to a new host, I only carried the templates over, but I get this mysterious warning upon connection through kACARS to the new server. I can't really copy it, since I don't know a way out of a window, nevertheless, it talks about code from x10's suspension page. Any ideas why as I'm puzzled? The path in the local.config.php is set to a new site (www.flyglobespanva.xaa.pl), an entire new database…

I don't mean to question your skills at all, Jeff, but can you explain why kACARS_Free has to be run as Administrator on Vista or Windows 7? As a Linux user, I have been taught to avoid running programs as root like the plaque. Isn't this a security hole, running as admin, or am I mistaken?

kACARS Version: kACARS Free 1.0.1.1 FSUIPC Version: 3.48 Recently I've been getting this error: I tried upgrading, so I'm now running 1.0.1.1, but the problem recurs. If I click OK, the log begins, but only if I check the 'Ignore P-Brake / Airborne Check' option. If I don't, it tells me to check my parking brake and to get on the ground even though I already am. At the end of the flight, the log only shows some information: http://www.freshjetvirtual.com/index.php/pireps/view/426 Here is my FSUIPC.LOG:

Hi Guys, Quick question from my members, We have noticed that while using kACARS, if we are doing Touch and Go practice, as soon as the aircraft touches the Runway the ACARS logs a landing, but then seems to stop capturing data. Certain things continue, such as flight time, but alot of the logging stops. Is this something that can be altered to recognise multiple takeoffs and landings? Very Best Regards,

I had this idea long ago but forgot about it. , the talk of kacars made me think of it again. How difficult would it be to design and option where Admin's could send messages to pilots during flight (threw Kacars of course)? This is good for bush operations as it would be a cool way to dispatch flights. What do you think?

I've noticed that kacars free registers constant pauses if you switch screens while flying, for instance from the flight to your desktop (flight sim is minimized). My sim doesn't pause when I do so and this clutters up the flight data with pauses that aren't really pauses at all. I really do see the need for this, or it is just an error.
