Beautiful, beautiful website, really stands out among the crowd Congratulations and good luck, hope you get the success you deserve! Cheers

Well, congratulations to tgycgijoes for not dignifying this pretentious, arrogant and self-centered post with an answer. I think that's more your problem than that of new VAs. I agree with being fed up with the issues of serial offenders, plagiarism and copyright issues and have no sympathy towards that sort of offender. However if none of that is involved, then I don't think you should bother participating, especially in cases like this where - and I've said this in the previous post - the original poster DID NOT ask for any opinion on his VA. And sorry, I don't buy the excuse of "constructive criticism" when so many posts by you and others are just one-liners with words like "rubbish", "eyesore", "awful" and the like. If you wanted to help new users in any way you'd probably take 5 minutes to write something that actually contained advice of any sort. What you do normally is just rude, mindless bullying. Good luck to tgycgijoes with his project.

Hi there Forums like avsim, flightsim.com, IVAO and VATSIM boards are probably the places that will get you the most visibility. Facebook is also an interesting place. Cheers

Hi I understand your intentions on the staff. My simple advice is - don't. Hiring "direct entry" staff is something that most of the times does not work well. You will find that most people who apply seem enthusiastic and friendly, but in practical terms, most of them will not correspond in terms of work. What's worse, you may end up with people who do not follow your ideas or steal work from you. Don't get me wrong, most of them do not have bad intentions, but it is very very rare that you end up with staff members who perform according to your expectations in such cases. I know this phase of setting up the VA is huge work, but if you can pull it through, the best option is to do it yourselves. For other staff, my advice is to wait until you have pilots who are interested and active, and then you may consider inviting them. They will feel appreciated and you will have the advantage of knowing them. What's more, they will know the airline well from inside and that is very good. As for the promotion, wait until everything (site and contents) is finished, tested and ready to operate. Many aspiring VA owners fail to understand this and publicize sites that aren't finished or - worse - even started, and that is a big mistake, as it will turn many pilots away. The key is being patient and paying attention to every little detail. As for the fictional / real VA debate, I think you have nothing to lose and it certainly is not a disadvantage being fictional. To start, you won't have to worry with permissions / copyright issues from the real airline and also that there may be 3 / 4 other versions of the same airline out there. What's more, with a fictional VA you are free to build a fleet / route network with variety to suit your tastes and not just be "chained" to a real-world counterpart that limits what you can do. Some "real" VA owners people go around this by creating ficticious schedules / operations that do not exist. That to me is pointless - why bother with copying a real airline if deep down you are not happy with its operations??? Better go fictional and really suit your tastes, just my opinion. Good luck with your VA Cheers

I don't like to wade into these controversies but I agree, the constant put-down here is just awful and has gone too far. What is even more significant here is that the original poster DID NOT even ask for opinion / feedback on the site, simply made the innocent mistake - as many before - of advertising for pilots here. I know there have been issues before with plagiarists, impatient and rude kids etc, that have rightfully gotten many users fed up. But it seems the tension has now gone too far, up to a point where new users are almost automatically looked down upon. Is that what we really want for the community? Some will say they always speak their minds because they like frontality. Fair enough. Just keep in mind that frontality and rudeness are not the same, nor is one an excuse for the other. Not trying to flame or step on anyone's toes, just my opinion as a phpvms and forum user. Blue skies, everyone.

I like your paint very much. In my opinion, it would look even better if you changed the circle inside the "C" on the tail to golden instead of white, same as in the front. Cheers

Hi Matthew Ah that's great, it would be a shame not to see Palmair flying. Good luck with everything Cheers

Hi Sorry to bump an old topic, but what happened to Palmair? Is it still going ahead? Site is now Futura...??? Cheers

Yep, filled every field, still no luck

No, I confirmed the required fields were all filled in, and tried serveral times. It's strange, never happened before. Cheers

Hello I'm having the exact same error, but the link above seems dead. Could anyone help me, please? Cheers

Thanks guys, I will check it out Yes, that's very similar to that, in fact I think using the type and not just the aircraft ICAO code like that looks awesome. Cheers

Hello Apologies if this is elsewhere, I have been searching the forums and I couldn't find the information. I want to add to my pilot badge a line with "last flight" info, in the following format: Last Flight: KLAX-KBOS A320-232 CS-TYB Which is basically route, aicraft name/type and registration. Could someone please help me with this, in terms of code and which file to edit? Many thanks Cheers

Hi That is actually still the original version of our website, for external reasons we had to abandon the commissioned project, nothing to do with the designer though. Cheers

Can someone please tell me, in version 1.2.700, where exactly can I find the "export schedules" feature mentioned in the docs? Thanks.

Jetlantic Virtual Airways Now recruiting - opens January 7th www.jetlanticva.com Thank you Nabeel for this excellent program, a great gift to the VA community!

Hi everyone After installation, I created a few schedules as a test, and then tried uploading some via .CSV files, and ended up with a few duplicated ones. Now I have all my schedules correctly created in an .CSV file and I want to upload them, but I wanted to delete all the ones I already created before for a clean install. However I can't figure out how to do this, I only see the option of switching between "active" and "inactive" schedules on the phpvms console, not deleting. Can someone help me with this please? Thanks.

Ahhhh that's it! What you said made me think, I had been fiddling with Apache and forgot to undo what I had done. I removed the handler and now it's working. Thanks Nabeel

Hi I'm having a problem with my website. I successfully installed phpvms and was going to start skinning, but I am unable to open the site. Instead of launching the page, I get a download prompt in which my browser asks me if I want to download "myurl_com" as an unknown file type. Up until yesterday I could visualize and log on normally, but this started happening today. I spoke to my web provider's support and they told me this probably had to to with the file type - showing as "application/x-http-d" in cPanel. Can anyone help me in dealing with this? Thank you.

Never mind that, I was putting the data in the wrong format. All ok now

Ok I managed to start the installer Now I get the following message when checking database connection: Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'myusername'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/mydatabase/public_html/core/classes/MySQL.class.php on line 121 Access denied for user 'myusername'@'localhost' (using password: YES) I had already created a database and a user with all privileges, what could be wrong here?

Hi Nabeel thank you very much, I'll give it a try now, let you know how it goes. Cheers

Hi Joeri thank you very much for your help. However, once I type that I get a "404 - page not found" error. Could it be that I placed the folders in the wrong place? I had the following options in File Manager: Home Directory Web Root (public_html/www) Public FTP Root (public_ftp) Document Root for: and I placed the phpvms folder in "Home" is this correct? Thanks
