Anyone ? Thanks Carlos Garcia A

Using XAcars with X-plane 9.70 Dont work for me I can get the Time remaining <%=flight.timeremaining%> and Bar Graphics to work. The Distance Reaming works good. I replace core/modules/ACARS acars.php (In your post says ASCARS.PHP but i think is not the right file name) file with the code you post, Add the css to my liv/skyns/CGA ( the name of my Skyn is CGA)css and add the Gif files to lib/images directory.. and acarsmap.tpl to the core/templates. Any idea, Carlos Garcia Acevedo SKBQ Barranquilla Colombia

acarsmap.tpl Trying to convert KIAS to KTAS : ( Ground Speed is what the aircraft travels over the ground. Basically, it is your TAS, plus the effect of the head/tail wind component.) I dont have into account the head/tail wind component... So I really calculating KTAS Ok trying this but dont work : I cant use another formula like : A good rule for true airspeed is to add 2% to your KIAS for every 1000ft of altitude. So 100KIAS at 5000ft MLS would be about 110 KTAS. <?php $alt="<%=flight.alt%>" ;?> <?php if ($alt >=1 and $alt <=4999) { $F =1; } elseif ($alt >=5000 and $alt <=9999) { $F=1.08; } elseif ($alt >=10000 and $alt <=14999) { $F=1.17; } elseif ($alt >=15000 and $alt <=19999) { $F=1.26; } elseif ($alt >=20000 and $alt <=24999) { $F=1.37; } elseif ($alt >=25000 and $alt <=29999) { $F=1.50; } elseif ($alt >=30000 and $alt <=34999) { $F=1.64; } elseif ($alt >=35000 and $alt <=34999) { $F=1.79; } else { $F=2.02; } ?> <!-- Aprox Ground Speed - KTAS --> <?php $speed ="<%=flight.gs* $F %>";?> <td> <?php echo $speed ;?> </td> </tr> </script> If I only use : <?php $speed ="<%=flight.gs%>";?> <td> <?php echo $speed ;?> </td> I can see the Fly speed of the plane, But I cant make any calculation with $speed $speed is a PHP String so I try to Convert to integer This way $speed=$speed + 0 This way $speed now is a Integer value but I cant make any Calculation... ?? Here Im a little Lost. Any Ideas ? Regards Carlos

Hello Thanks for answer and sorry for my late reply. Jeff : Yes I know that I can change this values in the Config files. But the Idea is to make some Calculation in the Acars Map, so I can Give the users Altitude Both in meters and Feets. Kyle . Thanks for you code. But I was trying to assign the value to a variable, I think the way to make it its something like <?php $altmts = round(<%=flight.alt%>/3.28);?> Then I can use the $altmts variable to make another calculations. Kyle : Yes the code must be in the acarsmap.tpl The altitude was just a example, im using Xacars so the plane Speed is in Knots, I will try to change this value to Ground Speed so I can Calculate the ETA. Well here I not shure if this works this way, But I will try. I will give it a try and post my comments Thanks and Sorry again for the late reply. Carlos Garcia Acevedo SKBQ Barranquilla Colombia

Good Day. I want to know how can I take some data from acarmaps.tpl to make a PHP Formula to make a calculation. Something like I want to convert Plane Altitude to Meters. The Formula is very simple AltitudeMts = AltitudeFeets / 3.28 (Aprox). acarmaps.tpl Give me <%=flight.alt%> I think this is the plane Actual Altitude. And can be show in the Html Table using <td><%=flight.alt%></td>. Now The question, How can i assign the <%=flight.alt%> Value ta a PHP variable so I can make the formula using PHP and siplay in a new Row in the html table. ? Thanks and sorry for my poor english I speak Spanish. Regards Carlos Garcia
