changing host is easier said than done, and first I'd have to be sure that the problem is really with the host AND they cannot resolve the problem for me. what do you mean with the checkinstall?

Hello guys, Lately I'm having severe problems with the caching system of phpvms,sometimes leading to a complete outage of the site ie a blank page with just a picture on it. Sometimes I get a page full of error messages like this Warning: file_put_contents(/core/cache/phpvms_users_online.cache) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /core/classes/CodonCache.class.php on line 210 Clearing the cache usually helps, but obviously this issue needs to be resolved more permanently. File permissions are set to 775. I think with 777 it runs better I'm not convinced that's secure enough (ie give write access to public) The site has been running for nearly a year on 775, but I must say recently my provider has been playing up and produces regular issues on their own. Not sure how they are connected, but they obviously don't provide support for phpvms thanks for your attention!

The thing with xacars is that its the only acars that works on xplane. Apart of that I think kacars is the easiest to use, but since phpvms has builtin support for most acars system, why make your pilots choose a certain type of acars? On my airline, pilots can use any supported acars system as they please ie X, K, FSP etc

What did you use to make the destinations map? I like that one! The rest of the site, I'm sorry to say, is in need of some cosmetic changes

Hello all, Afaik the fuel price in phpvms is 3.10 USD/lb by default, right? At least that's what is still set in mine... Now I found this site though, and I'm confused: http://www.iata.org/publications/economics/fuel-monitor/Pages/price-analysis.aspx It says here that in Europe and US the fuel price is roughly 290 cents per gallon? Now, A gallon of jet-a is apperently 6.6 lb depending on the temperature, so that would mean the fuelprice is not 3.10 usd per lb but 2.9 usd per gallon, which is 6.6lb which would come down to approx 43 cents per lb? anyone can shed a light on this, would be much appreciated by more than just myself, I'm sure

yeah, a link would be cool oh, and not it'll change anything, but i'd have called it Airabia

I'm not really sure how much flexibility you want.. like I said you just get the values and can display them any way you want. The load thing is simple: you just pass an extra parameter to the API (TTL, Total traffic load) and it will calculate the ZFW/MTOW with that, and also consider it in the fuel calculation. It even gives you a number of pounds of overload/underload PS I'm not involved in that project, I just like it a lot. I spent the 20 bucks and its one of the best investments I did for my VA

So how long you plan to work on this? You clearly haven't looked very well at how this fuelplanner works: you pass a few parameters (origin and destination icao, aircraft icao) and it returns you an xml file. Thanks tp the php xml parsers you get an object with one line of code, from which you can get loads of info. For example $fueldata->FUEL_EFU gives you the estimate fuel usage, and $fueldata->FUEL_TOF give you take-off fuel, With this object and its properties, you can then do whatever you want and display it in any way you like. In my pilot brief, I have now a full breakdown of all the weights (ZFW, TOW, LW, trip fuel, reserves, etc etc) thanks to this API. rather than spending hours to develop something that already exists I'd rather make some custom scripts for my VA. Or have a good time with friends

I think you didn't understand my previous post: it's impossible to make a fuelplanner as good as fuelplanner.com in a couple of hours. Now, I don't know your circumstances but most people if they go out to work for a couple of hours they make the 20 bucks for the fuelplanner.com license. @reachva: same here, I was using it since aerotexas as well. And yes, I saw a fuelplanner around here but it's no good. I tried to make a fuelplanner based on my own VA's pireps fueldata, but with just over 1000 flights I don't have enough data to make this reliable. For the A321 its within 10% but the 737 deviates around 20% which isn't good enough. Anyway, when I look at how much time (ie money) I wasted on this fuelplanner module on here and figuring out my own pireps fueldata, I could've splashed out on fuelplanner.com API's for all of you

Well, there isn't any alternative, and you wouldn't be able to create this yourself in the amount of time you can make 20 bucks elsewhere The time that everything on the net was free is over... has been for a long time

Hello Some of you may know the website fuelplanner.com They have an API now, where you can post variables and get variables back, so you can seamlessly integrate fuelplanning in your website (eg pilot brief) I'm very inclined to spend the 20 bucks, but there's nothing known about how to integrate it with phpvms. Does any of you use this API and can shed a light? Just so I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel.

I doubt anyone would want to use a fictional VA livery if they aren't actively flying for that VA... so what's the point of making it public?

Maybe its virtual money he earned flying for his own airline

maybe another idea for your homepage image:On my homepage I have a big image as well but it chooses randomly between two dozen of different images. For certain countries, a guest user automatically sees a picture of an airport in his own country..

what happened to the unitedairlinesva0 to 10 ?

Oh, I totally forgot about this but... we remedied the problem by disabling the "run as admin". Once run as admin was disabled all worked fine, contrary to what was said above.

so just use the query to generate the list, should be 5 minutes work

Depends on what you want to do with it... just a list? If its a one-off you can just go to your phpmyadmin and enter the following query: SELECT source, count(*) as amount, (count(*)/(select count(*) from `phpvms_pireps`)) *100 as percentage FROM `phpvms_pireps` group by source that'll give you a list of amounts and percentages for each "method" of filing a pirep, including manual ones. if you only want acars you'd just have to add --- where source<>"manual" --- or something

You mean by right-clicking on the .exe, properties, compatibility and then checking "run this as an administrator" ? Sorry, but if your program doesn't run without this, you should change your code, not make every user change their settings! Most apps use some kind of files to store information and the whole point of not running your apps as administrator would be void if programs wouldn't be able to run without admin rights.

Something about having permissions from Delta... but looking at your site a bit further I can see you actually do - congrats!

great page:) well done! When I go to the "partners" though, I don't see the real delta airlines? The perpetual question is on the tip of my tongue/fingers...

Why sell/close it? I'm sure somebody would be interested to run the VA on your behalf.. what happened to that chief pilot you "hired" in august?

Hello He said he runs it as admin and also he checked the firewall/AV settings although I don't know how thorough he checked I think its weird though, because that xml file is a normal file on his local machine, and the issue occurs when he tries to save his profile file, so why would the firewall have anything to do with that? Also, why would the AV deny access to an ordinary file? Edit: he uses avira free for antivirus

Hello One of my pilots has a serious malfunction with his kacars. When he saves the profile he gets a big fat exception, see attachment and details below. What is says is that the access to european.xml (where the config info is stored) is denied. he runs it as admin though. He first had it installed in the default install path, I then advised him to put it in a sub directory in fsx somewhere but that didnt change anything. I'm not familiar enough with win7 to tell where its going wrong. The file seems ti exist. I wonder if it could be an issue with the space in the pathname? thanks in advance for providing any clarity!

@parkho: Well, normally if you click on the flight number on my departure board you get to the flight info page, where logged-in pilots can place a bid that's ok... I never did anything with PHP before I started working on phpvms. I kinda learned php because phpvms is written in it and now, 6 months later, my phpvms is very different from the stock phpvms Once I get my VA search engine working, I'll start publishing some of the "add-ons" I made for PHPvms, but until then I think you'll have to crawl the web and learn php yourself or you may try this: http://www.utr-onlin...ware.asp?page=7
