Just in case there is someone else who overlooks the obvious and wonders why they can't export FSPAX flights to phpVMS, there are a couple of things to know. First, your pilot ID in FSPAX must be the same as that in phpVMS. Second, don't use the randomly generated flight number that FSPAX produces. Change it in the FSPAX so it is identical (including the airline code) to the phpVMS flight you are flying. It's the second one that had me tearing my hair out for a couple of weeks. : Also, don't forget to download the FSPassengers config file from your pilot center and place it in your FSPassengersConfig_va folder.

It worked. Thanks, again.

Thank you. I am now going to take a break and try not to bother anyone for a while. ;D

It produced the airline code and some number like 0175, if I recall. I don't have such a flight, so it wasn't accepted. I just did a test flight and it exported without problems.. Thanks for putting up with my not seeing the obvious for so long.

I am the world's biggest dummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ I've been driving Nabeel nuts over this and it is all my fault. FS Passengers, if left to its own devices, generates a random flight number. Since that number is not likely to be the flight you flew in phpVMS, it won't be accepted. Fortunately, FSPAX permits you to specify the flight number before you start the flight. Enter the correct flight number and it fioles the PIREP just fine. I really need to have my logic circuits replaced. : Another thing, if your VA has several airlines with different ICAO codes, you may need to create separate companies in FSPAX to match them.

Let me start off by saying if anyone thinks I know anything about PHP, they are mistaken. ;D What I'd like to do is eliminate the comma and hub ICAO from the line the rank is on. Then, I'd like to add "Hub: " followed by the Hub ICAO on the line below. In other words it would display OMG0001 Robin Frank <flag> <Rank> Hub: <ICAO> Total Flights: <number> Total Hours: <number> rather than what it does now. Thanks. All I need to know which document it is in and approximately where. Then, I can try to figure out how to change it. :

Aha! I had a hunch that the other verbiage had been recycled. ;D

I've been looking at some of the pireps and I am seeing things like this. Fuel Price 34582.1 This is the price of fuel, $ per lbs I have been going with the default price whe I creat routes, I'm assuming that the figure shown is the total cost of fuel, not the price per lb.

The CSV file is very helpful when I want to create a lot of routes quickly that use different aircraft at different times of the day, but doing the same route. It is very easy to switch aircraft and change times. I can create 20 routes from one hub to 20 destinations using aE170 at 9AM, a B738 and noon and an A321 at 3PM, just by cutting and pasting.the flight numbers, aircarft and times. I added about 500 routes that way. Different pilots like different a/c so even if they are going to the same place, they get to fly what they like. Of course, when I want to get creative, I do them one at a time. ;D

It is missing a key (ICAO code) I don't think it can be edited from within the script. I have one entry that was somehow added, and I can not edit the ICAO code for that one either.

Actually, I did what I did for the sake of simplicity in an already complex situation. I had a site hosted by godaddy and was using VAFS. We experienced two episodes of our data from VAFS being unavailable for extended periods of time, leaving us dead in the water. I stumbled across phpVMS. After making inquiries about hosting, I chose one that had been recommended, installed phpVMS and was astounded to see that it worked, "out of the box". That left me with my original on one server and phpVMS on another. Since the original server had a forum and other resources, and I also used some external sites, I opted for the simplest possible solution. an upper frame to keep my navigation and a lower one for content. Essentially, this is the upper frame (less the menu bar): <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Omega-Air</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body,td,th { color: #0000CC; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; } body { background-color: #6699FF; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div align="center"> {menu bar code here} </div> <p align="center"> {Logo and clock code here} </p> <hr align="center" /> </body> </html> The only problem is that frame must have sufficient height to display the greatest height of the drop down menu. The bottom frame, was even simpler: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Omega-Air Virtual Airlines</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body,td,th { color: #000099; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif; } body { background-color: #6699FF; } --> </style> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .style2 {color: #0000CC} --> </style> </head> <body> <p align="center"> </p> <p> <iframe width='100%' height='1200px' frameborder='5' src='http://www.fspirep.us//phpvms/index.php'></iframe> </p> </body> </html> Since I was up to my eyeballs in adding aircraft, airports, routes and things to get our pilots back to where they could fly, I needed an instant web site, even if it wasn't elegant. : When things settle down, I'll consider other methods. BTW, the only modification I made to phpVMS, was to change the graphics to match the rest of the site.

I'm working the problem backwards. I'm trying to ascertain from the FSPAX folks what would generate that "the web site did not replied" text. In my case it looks like FSPAX can connect to the server, but something fails after that point. If I can find out something that would provide a clue where things go awry.

Large, but feel free to resize.

I keep the lists I'm loading reasonably short. I only learned of that feature when I did one of my (in)famous,"What happens it I do this?", routines. : ;D I had already added most of the airports we'll be using for the near future. I'm working on a spreadsheet that allows me to enter the aircraft's cruising speed and the distance route generation produces to provide the flight time, and (if I enter the departure time), the arrival time. that last part is still being ironed out. Time/speed/distance is a simple equation, but adding a fudge factor for 250 kts. below 10,000 ft and time awaiting takeoff, etc. is proving interesting. :

That depends on how far I can dig into a web site that provides distances between airports. ;D The algorithm only fails where east meets west. Then, it appears to provide the distance going back all the way around the world. It's not the end of the world since it can be edited, but I thought you should be aware of it. BTW, I really like how the "import schedule from csv" feature works. I hadn't realized that if the airport wan't already entered, it would take care of that, as well.

I just imported some routes, and it would appear that the calculated distances are a bit excessive. For example the distance from PHNL to RJAA is 3886 miles, but the system is calculating 17944. It looks like the problem occurs as one crosses the international date line.

I somehow knew this type of response was inevitable. ;D Not knocking you, but I have a thing about the concept there is only one right way to do anything. Frames work. All modern browsers can display them. Coding is simple with them, so I use them.

I decided not to reskin, but rather integrate into a larger website. I did this by placing phpVMS inside an IFRAME and editing the images to match the rest of the site. Since I have a widescreen monitor, squeezing everything into the center third of the screen made no sense to me. for the moment I'm still left with too much space on either side, but will figure out how to place useful data or verbiage there, instead of uncused space. Since the main site is framed and the menu is in the top banner, but targets the main frame on the bottom I wind up with a lot of flexibility. I still have to some artistic enhancement, as well as complete the menu options, but since I started this only 24 hours ago, it is comiong along nicely. If anyone wants to see it, click on my sig.

Logically, I think departure ICAO.

Distance was entered.

Almost, but there are a couple not in that order. If you decide to sort them, my vote is for sorting on ICAO code.

I'm too new to this to be using a beta. Version 1.2.700

I am assuming the the distance figures should be there., etc., should be calculated. Or did I forget to do something? :-[
