  2. Show Scheduled Aircraft, Flight Time and Flight Level in admin pireps_list.php

    in Support Forum

    Posted

    Requesting help to show scheduled aircraft, flight time and flight level in admin/templates/pireps_list.php

    phpVMS 5.5.2

    pireps_list.php file around line 57 - Instead of showing the PIREP flight time, I would like to display the SCHEDULED flight time, aircraft and flight level. How do I call the Schedules data to display the scheduled flight time, aircraft and flight level from the schedules table to display in this area. These three items would show in the area above the Details, Log, Comments, etc. buttons.

    I would like to display this data in that location to make it easier to compare the scheduled aircraft, flight time and flight level to the actual submitted PIREP data for those three parameters.

    Any help is much appreciated!

     

     

  3. [SOLVED]5.5.x install problem

    I believe you need to use the php version of Crewcenter instead of the tpl version. The php version should work with phpVMS 5.5.2. In the Crewcenter download, there should be a folder with the php files. The directions explain what needs to be done.

    But before installing Crewcenter, be sure your phpVMS install works correctly with the default skin. No sense installing anything else if the default setup doesn't work correctly.

    Is the above the result of running the checkinstall.php file? If so, your install is probably okay. I recall having a similar result, but the site ran just fine.

    Have you attempted to add a pilot, a few airports, an aircraft and at least one route? After you do this, test to see if the site is running correctly.

  5. New skin loads slow

    You say it's tied to the current live site database - which would contain lots of data. What happens when tied to a new DB... 1 pilot, 1 aircraft, 2 airports and 1 route between the 2 airports? Sounds like somehow the new skin and the live database interation are slowing things down. If that's the case, I have no idea where to look to increase loadijg speed - hopefully someone else has some ideas....

  6. kACARs Free - PC Time vs FS Time

    in kACARS

    Posted

    I don't believe that kACARS_Free allows you to limit whether the pilot uses accelerated flight time or not. The log will show if the pilot used accelerated time - and the VA management can allow or disallow that PIREP.

    In the kACARS_Free module, the only settings are:

    • logTime - whether flight time stamp is system (computer) time or FS time
    • logPause - whether or not to log pauses
    • version - which version of kACARS_Free the VA uses
    • forceOut - whether to allow pilots with version different than VA uses to connect or not
    • charter - whether to allow charter flights or not

    If you want to dis-allow accelerated flight time, I believe you will need to use kACARSII - which is a payware program.

  8. NATS Routing using coordinates

    Lat/Long to show on route map

    NW = N -- 5200N/04000W = 5240N

    NE = E -- 5200N/04000E = 5240E

    SE = S -- 5200S/04000E = 5240S

    SW = W -- 5200S/04000W = 5240W

    Be aware that not all lat/long points are available in the navdata table. I ran across a few in the NAT's that didn't show - but the route depicted on the route map was close enough.

    Thanks Mark!

    I think I found it. I used simBrief for the flightplan and then looked at various formats. SkyVector lead me to a solution.

    5020N works - it needs to be 5 characters. I guess it's the same as with intersections.... 5 characters max.

    Yesterday I saw - somewhere - how to do this for north, south, east and west - so it takes +/- lat long into account. Once I find that again, I'll post it here.

    We've been using TS3 for a number of years. The laptop the TS3 server runs on has a dynamic IP. We set up a dynamic DNS at no-ip.com and run their free DUC program to keep the dynamic IP synced to the static URL at no-ip.com. It's worked great for 3+ years. Only downside is having to confirm continued use every 30 days - but that only takes a few minutes time to do.

    Pilots connect using the same URL. IP address can change as often as it wants - the DUC program keeps the two synced. We can even hafe someone else at a different location host the TS3 server. All that needs to be done in that case is to manually change the IP address at no-ip.com.

    I believe there are other sites that provide the same or similar services - some are free and others have minimal cost.

    You might also wish to look into applying for a management role with an existing VA. This will help you acquire a background into how a VA is run and how much time it takes.

    If you decide to persue a role with an existing VA, think about what you have to bring to the table to help out that VA.

  19. Aircraft table - minrank ranklevel

    in Support Forum

    Posted · Edited by ProAvia

    Using version 5.2.2

    Yes, I checked the default schedules page also. All routes show, even when ranks are restricted. I created a new account for testing which carries the minimum rank. The restricted aircaft list a rank one or two levels above this minimum rank.

    I only checked the database to see if there was something amiss - after verifying minimum rank didn't seem to have any affect.

    Thanks for the reply! Yes, that's what I'm seeing in Front Schedules. And local.config is set to true for restrict aircraft ranks.

    In the aircraft table, minrank consistently is one number higher than ranklevel..... If minrank=3, ranklevel=2.

    EDIT - checked via Schedules also - restricted rank aircraft schedules all show. I used a new account I set up with the minimum rank level.

    In the aircraft table, what is the purpose of the minrank and ranklevel fields? I'm assuming one if them is for the minimum rank level to use that specific equipment.

    Also, in phpVMS 5.2.2 - does restricting the aircraft by rank actually work correctly. I'm using simpilot's Front Schedules if that makes any difference.

    Thanks

    My site has 3 airlines. All are active, but I want only two to show in the timetable. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

    Airline A, airline B and airline C. I only want to show results in the timetable from airline A and airline B.

    Thanks for any assistance!

  25. Disabling manual PIREPS

    how would you fine them???    ive a pilot from greece thats done it twice in one day  need to stop the issue

    Make sure your operations manual states that pilots need to use the automated system to file PIREPS. Also state that manual PIREP submissions will only be considered with a valid reason listed in the comments section and that manual PIREPS will not continuously be accepted. Then when the pilot continues to submit a manual PIREP - just reject them. Sooner or later they will start submitting manual PIREPS. 

    All that being said, in over 3 years, none of my pilots has ever submitted a manual PIREP without contacting me first. Honestly, it's easier to use the automated system - unless your not being truthful about your flights.
