Dear FS Enthusiasts,
As of 8/28/11 BMI Baby has launched their 2011 recruiting drive. BMI Baby Virtual is a virtual airline simulating the real world BMI Baby operations. We currently operate out of 4 hubs in the United Kingdom, serving over 100 destinations around Europe. BMI Baby boasts a fleet of 737's and works at serving you with the best a virtual airline can offer.
What we offer:
1. A custom ACARS system
2. A community forum
3. Private team speak server
4. Fleet downloads
5. Discount codes for FS2crew and UK2000 scenery
6. Friendly community of over 100 pilots
7. Fun schedule
8. Great events
9. Great staff
10. So much more!
BMI Baby Virtual operates the 737-300 and 737-500 however we also wish to cater to the widest community possible because of this will now be allowing the use of 737NG's because we realize pilots have easier access to these models and payware 737's often require the use of these newer models.
Have any questions before joining? E-mail us at hr@bmibaby-virtual.com. Thanks and stay tuned for more information regarding the 2011 recruiting drive.

I recommend getting Sony Vegas, if you don't want to buy it they have a 30 day free trial. It is a wonderful program also get the free program fs-recorder(it allows you to record one plane and then re-record with a new plane to get the whole two airplane deal etc. and more). ENB camera will also jazz things up.. Also you can always hire someone to make the video for you. I have a friend who charges but makes excellent videos(Note however that you can achieve a good video by yourself with practice that really is what it takes to make solid videos).
The video below displays the ENB camera and fs-recorder in use
One if his videos can be seen below:

I really hate it when posts go into a drag-out, knock 'em, punch 'em debate about something real stupid to be arguing about. Can't these Forums be used for Positive results instead? This can go either way... "It is alright for members to belong to multiple Virtual Airlines, but it isn't okay to have CEO's belong to multiple VA's"? As I see it, this is a hobby. There shouldn't this much drama about someone wanting to join another VA while running another. Come on guys, REALLY!
I agree with you Jeff. Not a word you wrote I don't agree with.
Please remember everyone this is something we all share a passion for. FS is one of the purist hobbies out their don't turn this into Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox.
Get along with each other and have fun sharing this great hobby with all!!!

Yeah, I am using our flight tracker which has a web browser to access the site:)
Thanks for the feedback mark1million. It was the browser, chrome was unable to open it but explorer can.
It's strange though I used to be able to get on the site with chrome.

Hello I am currently unable to get onto my VA's website. Wierd thing is I seem to be the only one every one else is logging on fine. When I go to the URL I get an automatic download and then the website doesn't load. Below is what the download is: some php stuff.

Never Mind no point in posting the original post I wrote.
Once again I am happy you guys at legend air got the problem solved!

Congrats, I am glad to see that no permanent damage was done and that will be back up soon!

The way I do it is I just use a domain I already have. Create a sub-domain and check it that way. Don't know if this is the easiest way but that's how I've always done it.

Nabeel has created phpVMS in a way that no VA using base files has been hacked, simple as.
Nabeel is very talented and is a great asset to the fs communtiy but sorry, saying it hasn't been hacked nor can it be is ridiculous I have never seen a malicious attack on the system because I don't look that stuff but I know people who have hacked their own phpvms sites to test them. With the right level of skill and time you can hack into government databases which are guarded by the most advanced walls.
So if I connect the dotes: you saying phpvms can't be hacked but secure government databases can be then shoot Nabeel is on a gold mine holding the best protection out their and I expect him to be contracted by the US government and more soon.
P.S. when pictures get uploaded causes a virus etc. that right there points out a flaw. If phpvms was "un-hackable" then that would happen the security walls would stop it dead in its tracks. The most advanced protection can be hacked.
I garuntee if you read the book "hacking for dummies"(yes it is real and part of the popular series) and learn whats in their you could do damage to a phpvms based website.
Once again phpvms doesn't get hacked often because no one wants to hack a virtual airline the people that try have really almost no experience
I am not saying that phpvms is a poorly protected system nor am I saying to go buy hundreds in protection software, I am just saying by itself with no extra protection you leave yourself vulnerable to attack.

If you know what your doing you can incorporate all that stuff right into your site. Regardless phpvms really isn't all that secure. The reason why you all don't have many issues because people really are not looking to attack virtual airline websites. If I were to attack a site it would not be a virtual airline site, that is a waste. That is why I said above it was most likely an amateur.

Regularly check your error logs, i have posted about this kind of attack many times and shown examples of how my site was bombarded with over 1000 requests in under a minute.
Don't use default install directories for php myadmin or the like, protect sensitive areas of your site with example fail2ban and ht password protection, doing all these little things add up to many layers of protection that should give you an edge.
Also have and maintain and test your backup system that is imperative.
Yeah these are not bad ideas. Fail2ban isn't too difficult to crack if you have experience but it will buff up your security a little bit. The best thing to do though is analyze where you are weak(by hacking yourself). As I said before look into php nuke it is more advanced and will give people problems when trying to break through your protection.
-
I would recommend you hire someone with professional experience who is able to "hack your website". I mean this literally...doing this is the best way to prevent this from happening again.
Hack the sh** out of your site until you can't do it anymore if you find the right person with experience they can hack you site and fix all gaps they find until they cannot do it anymore.
Also I would expect this person to be an amateur to hack a VA so probably he used his own server etc. so back track that son of a ***** and bring his/her stuff down( I do not stand-by this as it is illegal).
You may also want to check into php nuke which offers security enhancements.
Sorry for any language.

I believe with the drop down menus he was talking about how the blue's don't match up. Not a big deal though.
Both of you sites are great!

That's a mouth full:) Best of luck!

Awesome! Best of luck to you all.

As BMI Baby suggested, who would administer and moderate the list? There would have to be measures in place to ensure the usage of the list wasn't abused, and this could quickly turn into a full time job. There would have to be some structure to rules on any system like this.
This is always the toughest thing. It is the same issue behind controller feedback to pilots on the VATSIM network. I am a fan of this however many think moderation is impossible.
A farewell to phpvms.

A farewell to phpvms
For the last few months BMI Baby Virtual has been fairly quiet. This is due to the fact that we have been developing our new custom system. Since BMI Baby Virtual was created over a year ago we have utilized the phpvms system. Our corporate offices have decided that in order to enhance our operations and expand it is necessary for us to develop our own system where we will have the maximum customization possible.
We would like to thank all persons involved in the production and maintenance of phpvms. Without this system BMI Baby Virtual would not be where it is today. We are sad to leave this great community but are excited for the road ahead. On behalf of the BMI Baby Virtual corporate offices we extend a farewell to the phpvms community. We currently expect the new system and website to launch January 1st, 2012.
