  1. This is an interesting thread, only just coming across it now.

    David, I cannot agree with your post enough. I like to help people out where possible. I visit the forum at least daily to see what's happening, what modules/skins are being developed or released (including my own) and helping out others. However, non-meaningful titles are a a big no, I also ignore them. I also ignore, like you say, recurring issues that are asked about at least once a week. Another thing you did not cover is the shoutbox. The shoutbox is not for asking for assistance. Nor is it to pester members to give you assistance in an existing thread. What's possibly most annoying is that in a month or two the 'VA' that they needed help with will be gone.

    As for the commercial aspect of the forum, I agree with mseiwald. It should be up to the developer. I was, and still am, a huge fan of free and open-source projects. That said, it's easy to understand why people want to charge for their work. Take myself for example. I have a few skins and modules in development, some are relatively easy to develop and take less time. Some have been worked on for months on end, having spent many frustrating hours on them at a time. I'm still working out what should be payware and what should be free. Whilst free releases are always going to be more popular, sometimes it's only fair that there should be something in return. I have only released two skins in the past, both free. This is far less contribution than other members however I plan to change that. My skins will continue to be free, with perhaps the odd exception, however my two upcoming modules - each destined for release within the next few months - are likely to come at a price. I plan to become a pilot and hope to make a move on that fairly soon, by the end of next year in fact if all goes well. I'm sure we all know that commercial flying training is not cheap. With that (and other financial commitments) in mind, my focus is quickly turning to paid releases.

    I will always focus on the benefit of my modules and ideas rather than the $$$, which I think some members overlook. We should remember it should be a case of money for modules, not modules for money, if you get what I mean.

  2. Not too bad looking, however I don't think it's a great idea to confirm the jumpseat tickets using GET, because it's then easy for the user to type any ICAO and cost they like. It would be quite easy to mess things up just by someone entering any old ICAO code they want.

    Personally, not keen on the entire concept because I feel it's very confusing from a pilot's perspective.

  3. Decided to post this here as it's now lying around doing nothing. It's a jQuery slideshow plugin I created a few months ago, with the intention of publishing it elsewhere commercially. Instead, I'm posting it here for free.

    jQuery image sliders/slideshows are popular on VA websites. A lot of the times the ones available are quite complex. I remember when I first started making them I felt they were too complex for my needs.

    It's being released under the MIT licence, so you can use it as you wish, even commercially, provided you keep the copyright header in the code.

    Enjoy!

  4. Thank you for your reply actually i wanted to keep realism in the VA so that is why i need the code to be amended in a way so we can add it directly without using any alphabets any ways thank you for your suggestion.

    please if anyone can help me in changing the code.

    Best Regards

    James

    Do a search for same flight numbers.

  5. Can you explain what your talking about?

    Clearly English is not his first language.

    Can you explain what your talking about?

    Not sure yours is either.

    As for the OP:

    1. Do you mean that you wish to prevent more than a certain number of bookings for an event?

    2. From what I understand, you want to email the pilot that he is retired after 31 days. This is native to phpVMS, you can edit the number of days a pilot must be inactive to be retired in your core/local.config.php file.
