Currently, that is not part of phpvms, but if you know php and are any good at it, I am sure you can make a module that will do that, or edit the schedules page to allow that. Or you just create a rule, and make it public that routes must be flown with the correct aircraft.

When putting the aircraft into phpvms, you are able to restrict them to ranks. So create your ranks, and restrict the aircraft to each rank. And inserting the schedules, don't put a cessna 172 on a kjfk-klax route, simple as that.

<?php if(Auth::LoggedIn() == false){ echo 'Hello Guest'; }else{ echo 'Hello '.PilotData::GetPilotCode(Auth::$userinfo->firstname, $userinfo->lastname; } ?> the last part is missing a ) at the end. Here is the code with that included: <?php if(Auth::LoggedIn() == false){ echo 'Hello Guest'; }else{ echo 'Hello '.PilotData::GetPilotCode(Auth::$userinfo->firstname, $userinfo->lastname); } ?>

in the local.config.php look for Config::Set('ACARS_LIVE_TIME', 120); I have set it for 2 hours. You can try changing it to 0 it should make the pilot go when he logos off the acars program.

YEa, phpvms has problems with free hosts. They often have settings turned off.

To answer the question about the acars map, the default settings for the length of time for a pilot to remain on the map is 12 hours. Are you using a free host or paid hosting?

Just remove the code, paste it somewhere else, so you don't lost it. It wont show on the main page, but wont be disabled.

Are you using FSACARS?

make sure you are downloading the full version not the update version.

The css file, what part you can create a new div for the acars, or look at the acars tpl file, and see if there is any margin, and make it inherit, which will inherit the padding and margins from the main CSS file.

It is pretty obvious,if something is missing you replace what is missing, and you can find out by looking at the default skin.

If you did a search, loads of topics with this problem would have come up Iain. All explained in there how to fix it. He also gave how to fix it here too. if something is missing, what do you usually do to fix that?

Possibly a cookie problem, a chache problem, try clearing both your cookies, and your cache, and see if it continues after that.

You need to have an ftp account, and you put everything into the public_html or www folder.Preferably not on a free host, as you often don't get an ftp account. And there are numerous problems with free hosts and phpvms, as fre hosts often have vital settings turned off.

Warning this will g et overwritten in an update, so keep a backup of it on your computer, so maybe nabeel can put this in there for the next update.

Dont worry Iain.

A lot of the stuff you said is good, but about the realistic parts, it depends on if they plan to replicate a real world airline, in that case, it is ok to start off with the same aircraft it operates.

possibly something to do with your host, either that, or you edited something and it changed a setting it shouldn't have. Run checkinstall.php and checkdb and post the results.

In your local.config file, find where it says Config::Set('DISABLE_BIDS_ON_BID', false); and change the false to true, that will disable the flight from being bidded on by other pilots until the flight has been flown.

Thanks.

Didn't work, how exactly do I put that in? When I put it in, it repeated all pilots and caused the page to be extremely long.

WOuld like to know is there a way to set phpvms, to hide pilots who have been set to retired? I don't like having a roster full of pilots marked retired, looks bad for the VA. But when they file a pirep or get marked as active they are shown again.

Mark you may have misunderstood him, I think he was referring to have it as a background image., in that case, you would put it in the CSS in the following: body{ background-image:url(images/Background.png) repeat; width:whatever size; height:whatever size; } it doesn't have to be in the body tag, it can be put under anyname, but make sure that the div or what ever part your styling is named the same and it is case sensitive.

You will need a better name, sorry but Frog Airlines just does not sound good, a good web site, and time spent on web site is also a big help, as at the moment, it looks like a 5 minute job. Spend some time on it, show us that you love it as much as we should, if you are going to use a template that others use, do somoething different with it, change the colors of it. Change the layout of it, spice it up. Don't start off with an A380 and flying long haul if you have just started a week ago. That is a turn off to 98% of pilots out there. Unrealistic VA's don't tend to stay around too long. Use a real world airline and use the way they run things, don't use their name if you don't intend on getting permission first, real world airlines are very strict on who can use their name and who can't. And they can shut you down for good, it has happened many a time before. Use your signature to promote your VA, put the link in your signature, every place that VA's can put links, put your link there, give a press release to flightsim.com, you will get a load of pilots from that, as it is a great way to get people to know about your VA. But you need to give your VA some lovin, and give it a logo, and not any bog stabdard logo you can get from photoshop or the net, be creative. That is one of the main things in creating a VA, is being creative.Don't worry about making mistakes, or making "boo boos" learn from them and let others help you, accept criticism, even if you don't like it, the people are only doing it to make your VA better. Yes you may get the odd bad comment that doesn't give a way to improve, but most if not all people on this forum will help you in anyway that they can. Also respect others, and they will respect you. Don't expect to get 100 pilots within the first month, you won't get that.

you can export databases as csv.
