It looks like you're using a free host due to your dot.tk domain name. phpVMS and free hosts don't play very well because free hosts are horrible. I recommend fivedev. It costs 7$ a month, the equivalent of two starbucks coffees.

No worries. I think I'll have more of an alliance-type multiple real world airlines VA anyway so repaints aren't needed. Just wondering! If you have some time in the future, I'll pay a little bit for a custom VA website template. Cody

How many different aircraft are you willing to repaint? I also saw that you do web development work. How much would it cost me for a custom phpVMS template?

Thanks! I've started work on the first app. Coding the app so you can enable/disable apps will take all of 5 minutes. It's really simple.

Okay guys, I need your opinions: Do you want an app that pops up a notification saying "A new application has been submitted for YourVA" or "A new PIREP has been submitted to YourVA" after which you can go to a menu that displays all the information about the pilot or PIREP with an accept/deny/add comment button? OR... Do you want a full customized mobile admin panel?

Kyle, out of curiosity, how much date/month does your service provider allow you? I have a 2gb/month plan and that's more than enough for Reddit, Teamspeak, a few short Youtube videos, Facebook, Email, and any other websites I need to use, including my VA website. I usually use about 1gb per month.

Thank you! I'll probably be releasing an Android version first because that's the platform I have the most experience in. The IOS version should come somewhat shortly after. Expect a full app collection by the end of September, at the most.

Thanks for the information! It will most definitely come in handy when the time comes.

I absolutely love the way you wrote that. Nice site too.

Thanks Kyle! Looks like we're going light. I'm thinking blue and grey. I really don't like dark sites either especially if there's any neon colors with the black. That's just a headache waiting to happen. Thanks again Cody

I love Android 10x more than I like Apple phones. Open source, easy to mod(I put CM7 on mine), plus a load of other neat things. When I get the app off the ground, I'll host the files on my own site, and, unfortunately, you'll have to install them manually. It's not that hard on Android, but I don't know about Apple products.

I took a look at your VA site and I really like it. Maybe instead of the black at the top, you can change it to an image. I think that would look really nice. I, too, don't like dark websites especially for Virtual Airlines. I can understand a dark theme for maybe a COD clan website or something similar but what is dark about flying? When flying comes to mind, I think of bright lights or the color blue.

I would be glad to provide it to the community. I'll be working on it and it should be available, at most, within a few months. I'm not in any big rush.

So you guys want a mobile admin center? That might be do-able... I'll release it for free since there's no customizing involved.

I will develop using Javascript. for all platforms.

I'm starting to do mobile application development(Android, Iphone, Ipad) and was wondering if there would be any interest in customized VA chart apps, customized VA route apps, and maybe some customized VA mobile IRC-type chats. The apps would have the VA colors and logo on it, a customized icon, and pretty much anything else you wanted. The apps would probably sell for about 15$ for a single airline, all including Android, iPhone, and iPad versions. Let me know what you guys think Cody

Thanks for the opinion! It's greatly appreciated. Cody

Wow I'm getting old... I told one of my staff to start entering in every airport they could think of and expected them to have put extremely common ones like KATL and KSEA in there. The only ones the put in were KDEN and KLAX. Gotta have a talk with them... Thanks Kyle! I'll mark this post as solved. Thanks Cody

I put that line in Schedules_Results.tpl and re-uploaded it but when I try to automatically calculate the distance, I always get 6,083 miles. I know that Denver-Atlanta or Seattle-LAX isn't over 6,000 miles LOL.

Hey guys, For some reason, all of a sudden, when adding a schedule and calculating the distance, it is always "6083.70091069". This occurs no matter what the distance between the two airfields are. Can anybody help me? I can provide screenshots upon request. Thanks Cody

Thanks for the tip! I think I'm settling for the third option. My current COO probably will not like it, so I may be in the market for a new one soon! Thanks Cody

Thanks for the reply, Kyle. I originally wanted to go with the first one but I absolutely hate repainting aircraft and don't want to pay people to repaint all the aircraft(25+ different types, even more counting the different FS models). A majority of the real world airlines already have extremely successful VA's though so I see no reason to create another one. Thanks again!

Thanks Joeri!

Hey guys, I'm in the process of creating a VA(obviously...) and wanted to know your opinions. Which type of VA attracts more pilots?: A fully fictional VA A VA named after and modeled after a real VA A VA with a fictional name but one that flies real world callsigns Right now, I'm leaning toward the last choice. I want my pilots to have the freedom to use the callsign of the airline that they want, the skin of that airline, and have the freedom to fly to more airports than a fictional VA or single real world VA would fly to. I'd really like to know what you think, Cody

Hey guys, I'm about to start the template on my site but I need to find out what theme I'll use, dark or light. My COO wants it to be a dark website similar to http://vectorairlines.net/ but I want it to be light colored. Dark theme would consist of black, grey, and maybe a dark red. Light theme would consist of blue, white, and red. Which attracts more pilots? Thanks Cody
