Hi y'all... vacentral will stay up until Dave's server goes down. I'm not sure when that will be (supposed to be today, I think). It's not going away forever - just temporarily. The main problem is that this server (with the forum) is running PHP 7.1, and that runs on PHP 5.3 Instead of updating it, I think I'm just going to leave it "off" for now, until I can figure out a migration plan that leaves compatibility with phpvms 2.x and the upcoming 4.0. There are a lot of components to it, so it would take me a while to figure out how to do the upgrades and all. I have to re-do the main phpvms page, since I haven't moved that over yet either.

Hey y'all, I created a Discord channel for people who just wanna hang out or whatever. I'd request that support stay in the forums. https://discord.gg/wvAmMnd

Yeah, it's usually a fee based on weight, but the fee itself is calculated by the airport based on their own traffic and size. Airports that handle larger aircraft themselves have larger costs for maintenance of things like runways and ground equipment, aside from them wanting to make a profit.

So how actual airlines work are with aircraft grouped into subfleets. Each subfleet is generally based on types, but maybe 1 subfleet for all CRJ with the stairs, and another subfleet for without. Now, these fares and expenses are attached to a subfleet. So someone can go into as much detail as they want - just a single subfleet for all aircraft, no matter the type, or let's say 10 different subfleets with varying fares and expenses. Schedules are also attached to subfleets, so you can dictate that flight from airport X to Y is assigned the subfleet for the CRJ with stairs. Ground handling, etc, will be based on a general landing fee, I think. These can also differ by airport, but I think the way I'm going to do it is by some modifier. I haven't thought it through yet, but there might be a few different expense types that you can assign to the subfleet. Landing fees are generally done by weight, and I believe they can include ground handling. I'm still trying to figure out the best way for these. It gets pretty complicated very fast Maybe a price per 5-tonnes or something at the airport level. I have to see how this is actually charged and handled.

Yeah, it's actually cheaper than I remembered. I'll prolly stick with ipb. Just gotta setup redis and etc to get it purring

So some of these are done on the basis of a "subfleet" in RW ops, which is model I'm looking at for the next version. Per flight-hour costs are a good idea and I'll add it to the list. So are capital costs. It might be more work to do this on an automated basis, I'm thinking of a register-type system.

There's sooo much spam coming in haha.

They probably will have to be rewritten and adapted. But on the upside, it should be much easier and cleaner interfaces for doing so

Hey man, you've been a great help since day 1 and graciously took over when my own real-world commitments had to come first. We'll be around, for sure. Cheers man, have a few cold ones on my behalf!
