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 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…

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 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 or beta5 ! Please download and install LATEST DEVELOPMENT ( in short terms dev or latest dev) build, it is much more stable compared to any beta builds 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 ? P…

As you may have noticed, phpVMS v7 comes with built in SimBrief API integration and aircraft can be configured in some different ways to achieve better planning results. Below you can find some key instructions and settings with their effects. Main Requirement is a valid SimBrief API key, to get one kindly check SimBrief documents (website/support forum) and complete your application, when you have your key ready, just insert it in settings. While waiting for your API key you can define your Subfleets and Aircraft as below; Subfleet Definitions; Here only important field is "SimBrief Type", when it is defined it will be used…

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…

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…

Looks like it is a little bit hard to find download links for phpVMS v7 development builds. This topic aims to ease that process for everyone Do NOT download old beta builds (like beta 3 and beta 4) as they are really old (more than 3 years). At least a VA should be using beta 5 (which is more than a year old), best options is to use latest development build. Below links will give you LATEST DEV Build; https://phpvms.cdn.vmslabs.net/phpvms-latest-dev.zip https://phpvms.cdn.vmslabs.net/phpvms-latest-dev.tar.gz Also do not wonder about the "potentially unstable" note about latest commit, it is far mor…

Hi guys Have setup my subfleet, fares, flights and added a B738, on the Fleet page it says Aircraft 0, and if I enter a manual pirep, it wont allow me to enter the aircraft. I assume although I have the aircraft in the fleet, I haven't actually bought one?

Hi, I'm Honoresia from France, then excuse me for my wrong english. I'm a old CEO from a VA closed in 2014. For now, we would like to make a V2 of our project. Let me introduce some features that we used : - airclub flight : Pilots are paid after commercial flight (regular or not). They can progress with their account and their rank. Some pilots want to make only commercial lines, but others want to rent an aircraft after many commercial lines, to go in virtual hollidays, you see. They have money to spend in an airclub activity, and this features make more and more pilots... - live popularity : Each scheduled line have a popularity,…

So I have been a member of a virtual airline that has been around since the tail end of 2000. I have been talking with them about a new website. The issues is, they have 1 main airline, 4 Divisions, and then hubs. How we are setup now in phpVMS we can create separate airlines and all kinds of hubs or an airline with as many hubs as we wish. So I am embarassed to say that as long as I have been with phpVMS (all but since day 1) I can not for the life of me figure out how to accomplish this task accordingly. I need 1 main airline. Under that main airline I need 4 divisions such as the Americas, Eupoean, Asian, then something such as over closer to Japan and dow…

Couple of us over at BluSquare worked on this... we figured some people could use it since I have seen questions about it. Not all the airports and mostly US. Something for people to start with. Modify the sections as needed for fuel price and such. Updated 6/14 airports.zip

Alright so for the longest time I wondered what some of these were, such as @lang('common.dashboard') , which I now know are references to display names. Are these referenced some where and we can change them or choose from a list? Not sure what these mean, {{ trans_choice('common.pilot', 2) }} , or what the number at the end means. Just wondering. I know we can place static text where we need too to replace those! Thanks!

Hi all, We are very new to this system, our current system is on VAM which is now unsupported by the original developer. So we were looking to build a new site to move too over the next few months. I setup hosting and installed phpVMS, I used the vs7 from the developer and also purchased the Acars module. I have now had a few comments saying that we should use phpVMS v5 as that is the current software. Most of you have been around here for a while so should we push on with 7 or drop back to 5. best wishes Doug

Nabeel provided the code for the authorization Logged In user and I asked on a Laravel forum about adding Guest because I am new to Laravel and basic PHP coding. So if you want to display the Logged In user or show Guest use this code in your phpVMS v7 theme: [code} @if(Auth::check()) Welcome: <font color="#6D0C1F"> {{ Auth::user()->name }} @else Welcome: <font color="#6D0C1F"> Guest @endif</font> [/code] I'll fix the colors with CSS down the road for now I just cheated to make it quick.

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
