I don't, and still no luck. Drop me an email would you, see if we can figure out what's not working here. reed0427(at)hotmail.com

Thanks Jeff. Today we started seeing different fuel prices, so maybe live fuel pricing is back up. Hey, just made the change to the app.config.php and I didn't crash the web site. That's what I call a major success!

If i wanted to make fuel prices standard at all my cities, how would I do that? Can I put in different fuel prices at different cities on my own? Thanks.

I downloaded kACARS again and loaded it up to public_html/core/modules/kACARS_Free, overwriting the existing file. Now I can log on to kACARS, but it still doesn't find my bid. In kACARS my base URL is set to http://www.historicairlinegroup.com/phpvms.

I noticed KACARS has quit working in the last day or two. I'm assuming this is caused by the site restoration?

When a pilot bids a flight from London to Paris, his next flight must originate in Paris. He can't jump to Dallas and fly from there. When he brings up the Flight Schedules, only flights originating in Paris will appear. So he bids on a flight from Paris to New York. When he completes that trip, only flights from New York will appear. The program must work for each pilot individually. If Pilot B flies to Amsterdam, then for him only flights from Amsterdam will be available next. Seems to me like it's just a matter of filtering out all airports except the pilot's last destination. Does anyone have a program that does this already?

Saw a posting in the forum from a year ago about a new Flight Booking System. Emailed the creator but got no response. Has anybody tried it, and how happy are you with it? We like the idea of making pilots depart from the airport they last landed at, but the zip file we downloaded would be more helpful if it had install instructions with it. It say in the posting to create an SQL table. A what? I'm lost right there....

We have been using Createaforum for our VA's forum. It was what we started with back when the VA was first started. Today I'd like to switch to a forum that has features we are looking for, like only allowing members of our VA, etc. What forum would you recommend? Does phpVMS have a forum available to each VA?

In my Admin section, under Reports & Expenses, Overview. The data displayed, over what time period is this based? Second, when we compute our income and expenses, we use 80 cents per mile per seat for income (or 3 cents per pound/mi for cargo flights), fuel at $1.50/kg and operating expenses at 15%. My question is, is there a standard we are supposed to be following? Thanks!

Thanks Roger!

Two questions: First, the fuel is being calculated at $5.1 per kg on all our pireps. Is this because of the ongoing issues? Seems like it should be $1.5 for a more accurate price (at 3 kg per gallon that would be $4.50/gal). Either that or it's reporting $5.1 per gallon instead of kg. Second, when you edit the pirep there is a block for expenses (Additional expenses for this flight (catering, cleaning, etc). Where do I enter this data for each aircraft type so it is automatically calculated? Thanks!

Keep up the good work!

I keep getting VA Central reports by email, but I'm not a part of VA Central. I'd join but I can't seem to find where!

In the schedules we can create income for each flight by creating a price per seat. My question is what can we do with this besides add a little realism to the flight? Compete against other VA's?

One of our pilots had this happen and I'm at a loss as to why. Anyone else seen this issue before? When he goes to bid on a flight, the "Add to bid" lettering is in purple. When he clicks on it the response is "No Route Passed". I've never had this issue but for him it is a recurring problem. David Reed / HAG

Several of our aircraft are in Category III rating. When a pilot reaches 80 hrs they are supposed to be able to view and bid for these Category III aircraft. However, pilots are complaining that even with 90+ hours, they still can not see category III aircraft. When I change their category to Cat II, they appear normally. I double-checked the aircraft category is set right, and that the aircraft is actually in the schedule. All seems good, but they still can't see them when they are listed as category III. Any ideas why?

Great, thanks!

I have mine set this way already. Do I want to change True to False, or did you mean to make it as shown?

When someone bids on a flight, is that flight only available to them until it is completed? I always thought "bid" was meant as "select" and that any number of people can select it. What's the scoop?

Good ideas, I'll try them. I've been adding ip's in IP Deny Manager, but they still keep coming, even from the one's I denied, like aol.com, gmail.com, etc. Last night I got 198 spammer applications. The fight goes on...

Been doing that. Most can be banned, but others are either unrecognized or too common, like gmail.com or yahoo.com. Too many legitimate pilots use these email sites.

All different. Names and emails are different for each one, like some program is randomly generating them. Even the names often make no sense. Example: Name: Rmesnt1900 Rmesnt1900 email: gmoeli1959@yahoo.co.uk

Recently we discovered our unused forum was being used by spammers and causing us to exceed our bandwidth limit. The forum had been added when the new site at phpVMS was created, but we decided to use our old forum instead. The new forum sat idle until I approved a few new memberships from new hires in Afghanistan. I decided soon after that the applicants were bogus and deleted them from the roster, rejecting all future applicants too. (I think that Afghanistan doesn't reflect any Al Qeida connection. Afghanistan is just the first name on the country list). We deleted the forum a couple of days ago and ever since I'm getting new Afghanistan applicants at the rate of about 15 per hour. Non-stop. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Played around with where to add the line you suggested and finally found the right place. Thanks!

On our home page I switched to FS Pilot Shop Advertising. Problem is that the ads are bigger than the square they're supposed to fit in. I changed the size in the url: <a href="http://www.fspilotshop.com/index.php?ref=307&affiliate_banner_id=6" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.fspilotshop.com/affiliate_show_banner.php?ref=307&affiliate_banner_id=6" border="0" alt="300 x 250 Rotation 1"></a> I changed the 300 x 250 to 150 x 125, but the banner size didn't change. Any ideas?
