Sounds like a great idea! The website is quite fancy as well. Just, like you considered already, I'd offer more airplanes. Maybe some of the fsx standard cessna's (172) and the Raytheon Beechcraft b1900d. I flew around the world in the latter prop, but that was in flightgear. And why not consider x-plane? That works with xacars, which is integrated with phpvms as well. It'll open op another "market" of pilots. good luck!

I have it too.. but when I click on send pireps again, and then look at my vacentral ranking, it shows my last 2 flights as being flown 17 seconds ago! Usually these glitches sort themselves out after some time. And in the end of the day, vacentral doesn't really matter

maybe somebody with a flawed airline would be inspired to give up and join an existing one? But it seems there's mainly the one guy flying for this airline anyway. agree on your opinion with the domain!

Hmmm... it looks a bit too much like any of the other 123456789098765432 websites that use the obsessblue skin just my 2 pence!

And where you think a bankrupt airline gets the funds to sue you? Dont you think they have something else on their mind? Think about it though, what a sad world we live in, if you read the above... a bankrupt airline sueing a virtual one for using their logo... epic fail!

I dont think so: the airline itself would have the rights to their logo, not the company who designed it: the design bureau got paid to do the logo and therefore the ownership of the logo is with the airline. Anyway the logo designers wont care if their client, who is now bankrupt anyway, has a virtual sister organisation in the web. afaik the bankrupt hungarian airline malev even has two virtual airlines named after it

I had the idea some time ago to start virtual Aircess. Aircess was the airline of Viktor Bout that he founded for trafficking all kinds of dodgy stuff into warzones in africa etc, sometimes supplying both sides of the same conflict. You could do some really interesting stuff there, like incorporating random payment of bribes to local authorities etc. I'd do it myself if I hadn't just started my own airline. Since Viktor Bout is in jail for the next 2 decades or so, I don't think your VA would be shut down For that same reason, any bankrupt airline is a good start cause they won't bother sueing you. Just google for bankrupt airlines.

How about an add-on for the admin panel where you can change all the stuff thats in the local.config.php ? Never understood why this has to be set in a file..

Hi all, I've tried today to update my banners but no luck, the new signature background just wont appear The directory has 777 permissions, so thats not the problem funny thing is: the file http://european.virtualairlines.eu/lib/signatures/EUR001.png doesn't even exist in that directory? I've refreshed and even tried on another pc in case of a cache problem or something, but it keeps loading the default phpvms banner. Does the pilot have to file a pirep for the badge to update? as always, looking forward to your help

Hum? Can you capture that in a screenshot? What browser you use? In firefox, chrome and IE it works just fine...

First things first: I want to thank everyone on this board who have helped me over the past couple of weeks: without your aid EVA would have not been finished that quickly! European Virtual Airlines is a brand-new European-based virtual airline, open for all simulators and networks: we are one of the few VA's that actively support MSFS, X-plane and Flightgear, both on IVAO, VATSIM and mpserver. From our hubs Gatwick (EGKK) and Munich (EDDM) we serve over 60 destinations in Europe and beyond, with a fleet of 9 different aircraft. Our aim is to add a new dimension to simulated flying that is both social, entertaining and educating. We continuously balance on a tight-rope between realism and entertainment, between keeping it real and keeping it fun. Here you can have the pilot career you never had in real life, no matter your skills or your type of simulator! I'll keep this short and sweet: on the EVA website you can Read more or see the concise list of features. I'm looking forward to your registrations and/or comments about the website with kind regards, Mischka aka Mike Bravo

Ok, I found the issue: my from adress and destination address were set to be forwarded to the same gmail account, so the mails didnt get delivered. When I changed the destination addresses to my gmail account the mail for new pireps arrived, but not the mail for new pilot. the new pilot I registered did receive an email as soon as I approved him though. Where can I edit the contents of that email?

Since a couple of days I dont get a mail anymore when somebody registers or logs a pirep, it used to work in the beginning. The mass mailer (send email to all pilots) seems to work though. Where do I look for a resolution?

yesterday I tried kacars and it appears to remove ,my bid correctly and record a landing rate etc. the xacars I used with austrian is the same as the one I connect to phpvms with now though, so its rather an "issue" with phpvms and xacars not fully compatible. Anyway kacars seems to be the way to go now

That's pretty said actually, to cheat on something like this... Maybe a kind of "checksum" can be made, where a code is added to every pirep line, which is calculated by the contents of the line? shouldn't be too difficult I guess

With sort you mean to say "filter" I assume. those are two different things Did you change something in the code? The standard schedule search is a nightmare.. I suggest using the schedule search addon by simpilot (see addons->simpilot forums) If you want to sort by something other than time, there is a setting in the local config. If you want to sorty by departure time, see my post in the simpilot subforum. good luck!

Hi guys Seeing that my acars system is now working (http://forum.phpvms.net/topic/7552-xacars-setupinstall/) I have some other issues with it. That is to say: I only really had time to fly with xacars so far, so if some of the below features do work with another acars please enlighten me. 1. Submission of my pilot report works fine. However, if I completed a bidded flight, then that bid doesn't get removed. Is there a way to do this automatically? 2. On an other airline I flew with (austrian airlines, I think its not phpvms), I had to enter a route and flightlevel before my bid would be actived, . This was then populated in acars. Is this also possible in phpvms? Is this standard behaviour, am I doing something wrong or do I need to write code to get this done? I quite liked the idea 3. On that same airline I could only enter a flightnumber in the acars that I had an active bid on (see point 2). However, xacars on my airline allows me to retrieve data on any flight, bid or not. How do I change that? Apart of the bids issue, what about the landing rates? Is this a standard feature of all acars systems or only some, and if yes, which?

Well, yesterday I upgraded to paid hosting and guess what? All acars systems are working

I fixed it now, thanks. Somehow the registration_error.tpl was showing even when the error variable was empty, so I changed it like so: <?php if ($error!='') { echo '<h3>Error Registering</h3><p>'.$error.'</p>'; } ?> that's all I think though that a simple registration page shouldn't need some fancy graphics library.

Sorry, but what is GD? That acronym is too generic to create sensible google results

Hello It has annoyed me for some time now that the schedule search results (in this add-on and the standard schedule find) is not sorted by departure time. Showing the schedules by deptime is important, because a pilot has a better overview of which flights depart in the near future. Setting the relevant option in the local config doesnt help because the deptime field is actually a varchar, so sorting on that is a no-no. Hence I did some googling and found a neat way to convert the varchar to an actual time. Here is the relevant pieces of code to be changed in /core/common/Frontschedulesdata.class.php, and to save you all a game of "seek the differences", the changed parts are marked bold: public function findschedules($arricao, $depicao, $airline, $aircraft) { $query = "SELECT phpvms_schedules.*, phpvms_aircraft.name AS aircraft, phpvms_aircraft.registration, time(str_to_date(deptime,'%H:%i')) newdeptime FROM phpvms_schedules, phpvms_aircraft WHERE phpvms_schedules.depicao LIKE '$depicao' AND phpvms_schedules.arricao LIKE '$arricao' AND phpvms_schedules.code LIKE '$airline' AND phpvms_schedules.aircraft LIKE '$aircraft' AND phpvms_aircraft.id LIKE '$aircraft' ORDER BY newdeptime"; return DB::get_results($query); } public function findschedule($arricao, $depicao, $airline) { $query = "SELECT phpvms_schedules.*, phpvms_aircraft.name AS aircraft, phpvms_aircraft.registration, time(str_to_date(deptime,'%H:%i')) newdeptime FROM phpvms_schedules, phpvms_aircraft WHERE phpvms_schedules.depicao LIKE '$depicao' AND phpvms_schedules.arricao LIKE '$arricao' AND phpvms_schedules.code LIKE '$airline' AND phpvms_aircraft.id LIKE phpvms_schedules.aircraft ORDER BY newdeptime"; return DB::get_results($query); } Maybe this can be integrated in the product, or else somebody will find it here and my nocturnal toiling is not just for my own benefit

afaik that's what I did... I suspect my freehosting is the problem here because it adds some counter code to the end of every file you download, so the acars might be confused. I will continue investigate this in a few days. thanks for your help so far! In what programming language is this kacars written?

Uhm, could it be this: http://box10.host1fr...s/fsacars/acars I'm not sure anymore which one it was, it's late and the simulator has been switched off. what about those switch= parameters? Surely there must be an overview of them? also I saw it can be a version issue.. although I downloaded the latest module from the fsproducts website, so it shouldn't be... where can I see a version number in the module?

Right, Ok, I didn't know that Lorathon I understand you developed kAccars.. is there an overview of the "switch=" error messages and what causes them? That should help me troubleshoot things. thanks

that doesnt really help... its like I tell a mechanic my bmw is broken and he tells me to buy a mercedes. i tried kacars, it comes up with some error message: Notify System Administrator of Switch Error Data Not Received Switch=verify" the documentation is equally s***ty
