Image says it all Source is https://www.iata.org/en/publications/economics/fuel-monitor/ Just a reminder; You can NOT change internal units in phpvms v7, so even if you want to have fuel units displayed in KGS this will NOT change the price you should be entering in admin area. Hope this helps

Hi, This is technically not a guide, but an overall explanation of v7 systems related to automation and why CRON is needed etc. What is CRON ? Basically CRON is the name of "Scheduled Tasks" in Linux systems. Imagine it like a person executing tasks in behalf of you, a helper or an automation. Why it is needed and important ? Well, if you want to execute every single script needed for automation then you do not need it, but most of us do not have that much free time, specially we can not be online 24/7 to click some links every single minute or at best every hour. So CRON is important because it does exactly this…

Ok, this is the second part of my guides. I got a lot of questions about them, how to define, how to make them compatible with SimBrief, how do the real companies handle different types or configs etc. etc. And unfortunately I see some PhpVms friends having struggle with defining them. So what is it ? All airlines do have aircrafts, we call them fleets. But most of the airlines do have different types of aircrafts under their fleets, imagine like having both Airbus A320 and Boeing B737-800 at the same time flying for the same airline. Then you need some "Subfleets" to separate them during operations. And things got really messy when those aircrafts have differ…

I think, this will be the last of my guides for v7. Below you can see the pre-defined expenses or expense categories; Subfleet Block Hour Cost Subfleet Delay Cost (per minute) Fuel Cost ( 100LL , Mogas , JetA1 ) Ground Handling Cost Pilot Salary Fare Cost Ok, but what are they ? How realistic are they or how they can be used to get something similar to real world. Well, that's the main problem Subfleet Block Hour Cost Actually this is the aircraft block hour cost, it is the cost to operate an aircraft and for ease it is defined in subfleet level (like many other things) and entered hourly b…

I do get lots of personal messages/questions about this, "ok I installed v7 what next ?" Here you may find your answer, if not do not hesitate to ask (not personally but via forum so everyone can benefit from the answer) 0. Which version should I download and install ? Definitely NOT beta4 ! Please download and install LATEST DEVELOPMENT ( in short terms dev or latest dev) build, it is much more stable compared to beta4 and have many improvements. If you install beta4 and have some errors (you will have them for sure), the first reply to your support question will be "install latest dev". 1. How do I install v7 ? Please do check docs…

Hi, this question is the most asked one and with the SimBrief improvements we have in v7 this matter become critical ... Here you can find the basics about the logic and how to setup your fares/subfleets/flights properly. 1. Main Fares You can define your fares in admin/fares. These will be your main fare types, which will then be used in your subfleets or flights. The main idea here is to define only the basics, so you can change them later when needed. Think fares like the seats in your plane (or cargo space), which can be sold as tickets. They are not in flight services or extended service types like WiFi, Hot Meals, Extra Snacks, Economy Premiu…

I tried to put this ID 109.203.107.26 on the Domain freightdogcargo.org but it wouldn't let me. Now I can't even get on vmshost.io for support ticket help. Can support put this ID to replace the current one? If done, this content can be deleted. Thanks, Tim Farrell, FDC1601 freightdogcargo.org

The title of this question at first glance might seem a little odd, but let me explain In PHPVMS V7 there is a large scale and very useful integration with SIMBRIEF and as such the Route for a flight is often passed for example to the Acars from the simbrief OFP. Likewise when you look at the briefing for your flight level for FMC MCDU input it is there in the detail of each flight leg. So to set the question is to what value in PHPVMS V7 is having anything in the route field of a flight have with the rest of the system . Yes it gets sent to Simbrief and is used to generate the OPF but Simbrief will give you a flight plan route if there is nothing to …

Given that one of the hardest jobs in setting up a virtual airline is sorting out schedules that work well , alongside the subfleet and aircraft to fly the routes. Now if you have MSFS 2020 and the FS_TRAFFIC add-on it comes with a good set of schedules that you can copy and use with some coding to make all the data for your airline. The Departures folder can be found in the following place Community\justflight-fstraffic-module\Data\Schedules. The Arrivals folder can be found in the following placeCommunity\justflight-fstraffic-module\Data\Schedules folder\Arrivals folder An example of the schedule for EINN is attached and you can see from the d…

Following a successful build and launch of my new PHPVMS V7 Virtual Airline Virtualairhygge. (http://virtualairhygge.com) I would personally like to thank Nabeel for creating the software in the first place and to all those who have been busy sorting out the bugs and adding value to the base package. One name however stands out from all the extra bits and pieces and we all know him as the 'DISPOSABLE HERO' . I have his theme and the basic and advanced modules and if you think that what you get in the advanced module is not worth the 50 Euros donation then you are completely wrong. Firstly he is not making the money for himself it is for helping …

Just wondering if anyone has tweaked the Live Map icons to match certain types of aircraft? Currently, the commercial jet is shown but we operate DC3, DC6, B350, etc., and would like to display based on the actual aircraft. Thanks in advance.

I have noticed that if you restrict pilots to aircraft by rank and by type rating, aircraft subfleet without a type rating assigned won't show up. So can you only use one of these options unless you assign type rates to every aircraft? Then you would have to assign every pilot type ratings for every aircraft. Type ratings in the US are only necessary for aircraft over 12500 if I remember correctly. Thanks for any advice.

Is there any way to change the order that the flight cards appear on the flights page. By default it orders them by the flight number but I'd like to change that so it orders them by the departure time. I'm assuming it's part of the code in the "table.blade.php" file. I did try to amend: <a class="text-c" href="{{ route('frontend.flights.show', [$flight->id]) }}"> to: <a class="text-c" href="{{ route('frontend.flights.show', [$flight->dep_time]) }}"> but that doesn't appear to work.

Hi, I managed to use phpvms 7 and it works great! As already written in other posts, my company will be flying on xbox so no flight recording software will be used. So I ask you, is there the possibility to change the live map with a route map or a map of the last pireps? thanks for everything.

Good morning, i want to thank ProAvia and DisposableHero for their continued support in the forum because thanks to you and a lot of my patience (I'm not very practical) I managed to install phpvms 7. everything works great! I only have one question to ask at the moment: I've set up a series of ranks by also including the pilot's pay. However, I would like the pilot to receive his pay only when he flies (passenger scheduled) with the company. They will be free to fly any other route (charter) but without receiving pay. how can I do?

hello everyone, I just met this system and tried to install it on my site. I use Altervista. I would like to use your system but only using the manual Pirep sending function, because my idea is to create a virtual airline for pilots who use xbox. phpVMS 7 beta 3 seemed to work but I couldn't open the manual Pirep submission page, but i don't know why! therefore, is it possible that you make a "light" version without the ACARS application? thanks for all.

Is the page still up? I can't access it anymore from any of the 3 computers I have or even my phone...... I would think this is more than a firewall or virus protection issue as I believe (in my lack of computer knowledge) that the site has an exception or whatever. From the home page when clicking purchase now it just tries to load for awhile then gives the cannot connect screen.....weird......any ideas? Thanks!

Long time no chit chat gents. Hope all is well! My first post back here in quite some time. Life has threw me a curve ball and I am ready to jump back in finally. Just curious, is Paid ACARS (not nagging at all about that Nabeel deserves all he gets for his work) the only option thus far besides manual PIREPS? I hate to start a new Startup and pour cash into it to possibly fizzle out. I suppose that is where manual pireps come in handy but I have polled MANY virtual pilots over the years and most will not join a VA that accepts manual pireps. I am just tryin g to examine all possibilities and and what ifs and come up with a solid game plan before I just start …

No problem at any US (including Puerto Rico) or Canada airports, but when I ended a flight at TNCM (Princess Juliana) is got a dashboard metar error (dashboard nothing but errors). I believe it was about weather metar variances. US is A#### ex: A2992. At the time at TNCM is was Q1012. When flew back to Puerto Rico, dashboard was perfect again. I looked at all the error possibilities in all my files while at TNCM but they all were matching the error corrections. I don't have the version of the error to print right now but can try it again. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks, Tim

Hello I'm using PHPVMS7 DEV, and after a week of use, the rating and pay-per-flight system for pilots stopped working. I've searched here on the forum and on discord and haven't found anything I can do. Even putting it in the automatic homologation post, it does not approve the pireps, as well as it does not generate expenses and income and does not pay the pilots. follow some images below. even pressing the recalculation button does not this was the first one that worked correctly
