Hello I've done some tests. In the MySQL database, the flight hours are OK and the salary per hour is correctly set to 15 euros per hour. I have done 3 flights. 1 h 42 = 102 minutes 1 h 06 = 66 minutes 1 h 03 = 63 minutes TOTAL : 3 h 51 = 231 minutes The salary is 15 euros per hour, so it is 0.25 euro per minute. Normally, I must have this salary for these three flights : 231 minutes X 0.25 = 57.75 euros The problem is that phpVMS shows me 52.65 euros for these three flights. I found the calcul he has done : 3.51 X 15 = 52.65 euros But 3 hours 51 minutes is not 3.51 hour. 3.51 hour is 210.6 minutes, so it is different than 231 minutes. How can I do to correct this error ? Thanks Stéphane

Hello I have some errors in the salaries of the pilots. Example : A pilot flew 1 hour and 11 minutes. FSACARS records 1h11 and phpVMS use 1.11 for the hours of flight. The salary for this pilote per hour is 15 euros. So the normal salary is 15/60 = 0.25 euro per minute of flight. In this case, the salary must be 71X0.25 = 17.75 euros The problem is that phpVMS do this calcul : [hours of flight] X [salary per hour] = salary for this flight 1.11 X 15 = 16.65 euros whereas the salaty must be 17.75 euros. Can you do an patch to delete this error ? Thanks Stéphane

Hello The result is 1050. For information, I deleted the line about the fuel surcharge, so i don't think the problem comes from the fuel surcharge. I will add this line with "0". I will post the result. Thanks Stéphane EDIT : If you delete the line about the fuel surcharge in the local config file, it takes the default value : 5. If you put this line and set the value to 0, it works very good. Now, all is OK. Thanks for your help ! Stéphane

I think it is very interesting to round the fuel price to a whole number. I have done some tests. I set up the fuel price to 1.00 euro / kg. I filed a manual pirep and the fuel costs are - 1050 euros for 1000 kg of fuel (so fuel price is 1.05 euros / kg). In the test.php file, the fuel price is correct. Thanks Stéphane

I calculate the fuel price. The price is 0.5 euros / kg but in test.php it is 0.45 (also good). So 0.5 can be the rounded number of 0.45 The rounded price is not really a big problem for me, but it will be great if you can fix it. Thanks ! Stéphane

Hello I've done the update. Now, when I go to the test.php file, it shows me 0.45 !!! In the finances, for 1000 kg of fuel, the price is -500 euros. The real price is -450 euros, but I think phpVMS rounds the price, doesn't it ? Thanks for all. Stéphane

Ok thanks, I dowload the latest phpvms.beta.zip file and I will install it. Thanks for your help ! Stéphane

I am currently using the latest beta and the build is 708. What version do I have to install ? Thanks Stéphane

The problem is that the fuel price is set in the airport data to 0.45 for all the airports of my scheduled flights. Stéphane

Hello I've done the update. Here are the lines of my local config files about the fuel : # Fuel info /* Default fuel price, for airports that don't have And the surcharge percentage. View the docs for more details about these */ Config::Set('FUEL_DEFAULT_PRICE', 0.45); Config::Set('FUEL_GET_LIVE_PRICE', false); Config::Set('FUEL_SURCHARGE', '5'); I want the fuel price to be 0.45 per kg. In phpVMS, i have done a new flight. The fuel used is 2431 kg. In the finances, the fuel costs are - 122.00 €. 2431 X 0.45 = 1093.95 € When I use the test.php file to have the fuel price on LFPG, it shows me "0". What must I do to set the fuel price to 0.45 € / kg ? Thanks Stéphane EDIT : I have the same problem with the PIREPS from the pilot center. --> The fuel price is about 0.05 € per kg. Stéphane

Thanks for your help. I will do this update tomorrow morning (in French). Stéphane

Hello Thanks. Which file do I have to dowload the update and to have the latest build ? - phpvms.update.zip ? - phpvms.beta.zip ? I think I have to delete my actual phpVMS and install the beta version, haven't I? Thanks Stéphane

Hello I did not enter any value in the My SQL database. phpVMS entered it itself. I will delete all the content of this table. Stéphane

I set the unit to Kg in phpVMS and in FSACARS. This is the local config file in kg : # Fuel info /* Default fuel price, for airports that don't have And the surcharge percentage.

The ACARS log shows the correct amount of fuel. Moreover, this amount is correct in the pireps of phpvms, but the fuel expenses are not correct. When I send a PIREP from my pilot center, the fuel expenses are ok (number of lbs X 0.45). But when I use FSACARS, the fuel expenses are always wrong (about 23000 euros for 6000 lbs (price per lbs is 0.45 euro)) whereas the fuel amount (value from FSACARS) is correct in the PENDING PIREPS. Thanks Stéphane

We've done 2 others flight and we have the same problems. The fuel expenses are about 23000 euros per flight whereas we only used about 7000 lbs of fuel per flight (the 2 flights are the same). The fuel cost is set up in 0.45 euro per lbs in the local_config.php file and all the fuel costs are set yo 0.45 euro per lbs for each airport. How can I do to resolve this error ? Thanks Stéphane ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT : I found these line in the core/modules/ACARS/fsacars.php file # Get the fuel used # Using $_GET['fuel'] instead /*$pos = find_in_fsacars_log('Spent Fuel', $log); preg_match('/^.*Spent Fuel: (d*)/', $log[$pos], $matches); $fuelused = $_GET['fuel'];*/ When I open this file (fsacars.php) in a php editor, these lines appear as comments. I think it is the base of the problems. I will try to change this error. Stéphane

Hello FSACARS is set up in lbs and phpvms in lbs too. I have only done one flight --> 1 pirep only (the others pilots use the old pirep system before phpVMS is correctly set up). I didn't find where i can recalculate the finances. Where is it ? "Reset PIREP finances" ? Stéphane

Hello Today, I've done my first flight. I have an problem with the finances in phpVMS. phpVMS is set up in lbs for fuel. The price is 0.45 euro / lb and the fuel surcharge is set to 5. I've done this flight. I used 7813 lbs of fuel ==> 7813 X 0.45 = 3515.18 euros. In phpVMS, when I see the finances reports, the fuel costs are -23 630 euros. It is the first flight done and there are not any other flight. What do I have to do to reduce the fuel costs (and to use the good price for the next flights)? Thanks Stéphane

Hello I found one solution : I created a scheduled flight : departure ZZZZ and arrival ZZZZ Now, with this schedules flight, all is working. I will look at FSACARS website. Thanks for your help. Stéphane

This is an other flight which is not scheduled : [2009/06/07 14:25:00] Flight IATA:FLIGHT ? 58? 13?? E002? 26? 41?? 14:30 Parking brakes on 14:30 Block to Block Duration: 00:05 14:30 Final Fuel: 780 Lbls 14:30 Spent Fuel: 08 Lbls 14:30 Flight Length: 05 NM 14:30 TOD Land Length: 05 NM No more informations. Before I used phpVMS, I used FSACARS without any module. I have these errors since I use phpVMS. What must I do ? You said I have to check off one option to add the touchdown rate in the pireps, but what option do i have to check off ? Thanks Stéphane
