  1. Dear readers,

    FlyZen has recently come back from the dead and I have once again begun the development process. But if you haven't seen my previous logo's, then you don't know that I'm not Picasso when it comes to graphical development. My talents lie with SSS and other web based development. Thus when it came time to work out a logo for the 'New' FlyZen....I hit a stump...the font. I created a slew of different versions that I want the communities opinions on. The color plate will remain the same as seen in the examples.

    Instructions:

    After viewing each, please tell me which one you liked best. If you did not like any of them please leave recommendations. Im really going for a font selection here, the style and the colors will remain the same no matter what. I just want to get a fix on what font is liked best by you the FS community.

    Examples:

  2. Ok recently I have come once again upon the flying tigers group. If you arent familiar with them they create and run simulated real world airlines such as cathay, JAL etc. Now the only difference that I have seen between their sites and other simulated real world airlines is a notice at the bottom ( For Flight Simulation purposes only. Not a commercial site. Not affiliated or endorsed by any airline. 2002-2009 Name VA - All rights reserved). Now I have contacted a few airlines in the past about using their name ( some that the flying tigers have) and they said that using their name is prohibited and will result ina  cease and desist. Ive looked into trademark and copyright laws and I have found that you can use their names as long as you disclaim that you are not affiliated, are simulated, are an organization and that you have no commercial connection and/or use to that company. Now is the disclaimer all thats needed or do I need to seek a lawyer to help me sort the stuff out? Please dont say ask for their permission... because I have. And they have assured me that it wont work in anyones case ( yet the flying tigers succeeded without the permission) >>!

    Thanks for reading!

    Help is appreciated

  3. If you are using it within the document( wrapping it in script tags) then there shouldn't be a problem. If you are using an external file with your java script insure that you are correctly linking to the path of the file.

  4. When developing on the PHPVMS system or  just skinning for it, it becomes quite the workload to constantly throw and pull files from your live server using an FTP client just to test something. So instead of constantly using your live server, why not run a local server that only you can view and you don't have the hassle of uploading and downloading files.

    What do I need?

    Apache- Apache is an open source server technology project

    PHP- Is the language that most of PHPVMS is wrote with and must be plugged into Apache.

    MySQL- Is the database software that PHPVMS uses, like php it must be plugged into Apache

    I recommend that you use Xampp a freeware bundle that includes all of the above and a control panel for easy start up and administering.

    http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

    There is also another one like Xampp out there called Wamp which can be found here-

    www.wampserver.com/en/

    Getting Started-

    First download and install the latest stable build, and restart your computer(Its wise to follow the documentation if you have any problems). Then open the manager and start all of the services(Apache,MySQL etc.) and direct your preferred browser to http://localhost/ and you can now view web files that consist of PHP and MySQL on your local machine.

    Working with it-

    Storing and Viewing Files:

    Now when using Xampp the default directory it install into is your C: drive. Locate the folder named Xammp and work your way to the htdocs folder located inside, this is where all of your web documents must be stored in order for them to be viewed on your machines server.

    Working with the MySQL database:

    In order to manage your Databases,Users and privileges you must direct your browser to http://localhost/phpmyadmin in order to view the MySQL manager.

    Now you can configure your server any way you like aswell as plugin other languages into your server(Perl, Python etc.). So have fun and happy landings...

  5. Welcome to the Forums,

    Learn how to spell the systems name correctly...PHPV-M-S, Its an M not a N. From that mistake I can tell you probably haven't read the documentation and have skipped over the basic usage tutorials, what you are getting is not an Error, Each map is unique to that VA and thus requires a Google API code which can be found at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/(this will activate the map in). You might want to look into FireFox aswell...Built dictionary.

  6. ^ I attempted this once but ran into javascript errors due to the fact that the current search form mainly consists of AJAX components and its hard to work around unless your the original developer. But im sure there is always a solution! And hopefully i find it lol :P
