I'm pretty sure this is possible, but I don't know how to do it. I'm guessing you mean in the manual PIREP form. Personally, I make filing a manual PIREP as uninviting as possible. I want pilots to use my automated PIREP system. Are you also using an automated PIREP system? If not, you may wish to look into kACARSII (payware) or kACARS_Free (freeware). This may make your job as an admin much easier when processing PIREPS - and make it easier for your pilots to submit PIREPS.

That fixed the error I was seeing in the error_log file. Thanks!

Thank you - works great! My basic understanding of the temporary SSL workaround is that it bypasses the SSL check - is that correct?

Thanks for the quick update Web541..... I will install the update tomorrow. Really appreciate your time and effort!!

Also just noticed in Error_log a bunch of similar errors starting on 12/17/2017.

This module was working perfectly a week or two ago. Today I am getting the following errors when attempting to access an airport that AirCharts supplies charts for. Warning: file_get_contents(): Peer certificate CN=`nameitcreateit.com' did not match expected CN=`api.aircharts.org' in /home/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/phpvms/core/modules/Aircharts/Aircharts.php on line 40 Warning: file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto in /home/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/phpvms/core/modules/Aircharts/Aircharts.php on line 40 Warning: file_get_contents(http://api.aircharts.org/Airport/KLAS.json): failed to open stream: operation failed in /home/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/phpvms/core/modules/Aircharts/Aircharts.php on line 40 Line 40 reads: $obj = json_decode(file_get_contents($apiurl), true); It looks like the AirCharts site has the ability to use 'https' instead of 'http'. I tried changing the 'http' entries to 'https' in .../modules/Aircharts/Aircharts.php and received the same error. Also, looks like version 2 of the API was released (https://api.aircharts.org/). I tried changing the 3 $apiurl lines (17, 28, 39) in Aircharts.php to reflect this change and continued to receive the same error. The only item on my site that changed is we added SSL (https). But after getting that all set up, everything (including AirCharts) worked fine - until today. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks web541 - works perfect!

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!

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.

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....

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. http://fs-products.net

Have you tried running it on the same hosting account, but in a demo directory and tied to a new and fresh database? Could it be bogging down do to slow loading of your live/current database?

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.

Any solution on this one? I also tried 50N020W without success. Anyone have other ideas on how to display the planned route on the route map for North Atlantic crossings?

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.

Your error points to line 12 in the file SimBrief.php Can you post line 12 from SimBrief.php?

The link in my post - just a few posts above this one - works fine. It takes you to Github, where you can download the module. If you're using phpVMS 5.5.2, you may have to adapt the module from .tpl to .php .... but that's pretty easy.

You will need to install the module I linked to above. The instructions state where to enter the API key.

This module: https://github.com/vangelisb/Simbrief/tree/master/phpvms And you will also need to contact simBrief for an API key in order to implement this.

Did you install the following module first? Did you get an API key from simBrief and enter it in the correct place?

Better yet, why not post it here - so everyone can benefit from the fix.

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.

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.
