Speed. It's not used right now for anything.

I just released a patch now for the aircraft on PIREPS. I'm looking into the import.

Yeah, I want to see if that will work. Don't remove it from the IATA field, only that CompanyICAO one. I don't have the system coded to handle not having it in the IATA field, it's expecting the code in that field.

You can define it as icao or iata, it doesn't have to be either. When you enter a flight number or airline code, you can enter it either way. I'm not expecting a ICAO or IATA. That's much more confusing. In the flight IATA field it is the easier, just enter the airline code (icao or iata, however it is entered in phpvms), and then the flight number. It's written in the documentation clearly.

I don't see why not, but I haven't used it with them. I'm sure if you made the skin the same. In terms of users etc, I haven't tested it, it may be able to hold the email in common but aside from that, I don't know.

You should be good. Usually means it's been done already

I changed the page encoding to ISO-8859-1 (in Firefox, goto View->Character Encoding). Try changing the meta encoding from UTF-8 to that, see if it works. I don't think I have a character encoding specified in the admin skin, if not, try setting it in admin/lib/layout/header.tpl, see if that works. The reason I did not set an encoding was because it changes, but I'll add a config option to change this, and have it set to that

Yup, I know. I'm saying in that field, leave it at EZE31X, but in your VMA.ini, set the CompanyICAO as blank, and see if it still doubles the name. Seems to be working from me. The reason I need the EZE in that field is to know which airline that 31X belongs to.

Well you're supposed to add the code in the IATA field, since there are multiple airlines. I use the code in that field to map it to a scheduled flight. It's more reliable. But can you try blanking the CompanyICAO and adding the code to the IATA field? Does that work as well?

Anyone know what the error "Can't communicate with VA" is? I can't get it to respond.

I can take a look and see how to do that. I didn't see anything in the FSACARS API docs about how to do that. I'll look around. Actually the above code is probably it. As for editing a PIREP, I can do that for the next update.

May have a fix, Open /core/templates/fsacars_config.tpl There's the line: CompanyICAO=<?php echo $userinfo->code?> Make it: CompanyICAO= Just blank. I can't duplicate this error, but let's see if that works as a fix. Report back please! Thanks

Thanks! Just do "Forgot Password", phpBB was a headache honestly. This just much lighter

If you're having problems with FSACARS (including double'd flight codes (VMAVMA1100)), you need to create a log and send it to me: In version 1.1.430 and later, in your local.config.php, there is a value: Config::Set('ACARS_DEBUG', false); Set this to true, and also, create a "log.txt" in /core/modules/ACARS. Make this 777. After a flight, post that file to this page (in a zip file, as an attachment)

Difficult to submit a PIREP? Or difficult to use FSACARS? I have no control over FSACARS or importing data into FSACARS. If they don't have functionality to import a bid or even a flight, then I have no way of doing it. It does some things in a strange way, so the instructions are to make sure errors are minimized, and to work around some of those problems. What do you mean by change it afterwards?

It's stored in the news table.

A new update is up with delete pilots capability.

Hey everyone, The next update is now available, 1.1.437. Alot of changes in this build: * Delete pilots (the clean way! * Aircraft registration options added * Routes can be assigned specific aircraft/registration * Pilot avatars added, with sizing options * Pilot country with flag images added * Dynamic signatures generated, to use on forums * Bug fixes and other such things. Don't forget to follow the update instructions, and read the changelog. There are still more updates coming, with more features. The forums have also been updated to SMF; your profiles are still there, you just need to reset your password. It's much easier to use and work with than phpBB. The site design overall has also been cleaned up. Note: If you downloaded the 1.1.428/430 build, and updated, download the latest update for 1.1.437, and upload the /core folder. No need to run the update script again. Enjoy!

Looking at your live map:http://virtualsterling.net/index.php/acarsYou didn't enter a flight number in the IATA field. Enter it as your airline code + flight number. So if its from airline VMA and flight #1066, enter VMA1066. You didn't enter an arrival/departure airport either. Read through the guide:http://www.phpvms.net/docs/using_fsacars#using_fsacarsUnfortunately, there is no way to pull that data as far as I can tell. The local information seems to be to supplement the local database.

The latest is actually 402.http://www.phpvms.net/downloads/phpvms.402.full.zipNot sure why the installer build didn't update. I'll check/change that. That version number it's tracking is different. I'm in the process of changing how the builds are laid out to make it a bit easier for myself.I'm not sure what you can if it can be flown by FSACARS. It can, you just fly it like a normal flight. I'm fixing the bug where the bid isn't removed though.And you can't delete pilot's just yet. There's too much data to account for to completely delete someone, but once I finalize that data, then you'll be able to delete, so maybe in the next update, or the one after that (the next update will be by next weekend the latest)

OUCH. Thanks. I'll fix that. I hate phpBB sometimes.

Ahh UTF8 and Unicode issues. PHP doesn't handle unicode the best, but a few things might help: - setting a character encoding: <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> Put that in your <head></head>.You can also set your mysql database/tables to UTF8. I think in phpmyadmin there is an option. If you don't find it, let me know. This may also helpAlso, if you can give me some specifics, I can check the code against the PHP docs and see which functions aren't as unicode friendly. This is supposed to be completely fixed in PHP6. Hopefully that helps a bitNabeel

I haven't created a new archive module, sounds like a good add-on for someone to write

My favorites that I always use are the "Visual Quickstart Guides" on amazon. Those are excellent books, non-verbose and to-the-point.

Just copy the code on on the login template. Just a username and password field, with the form action pointing to index.php/login
