Oh hey, I see you released that custom module to the public. Was a bit tough trying to code those events to show up in the right date

As I look throughout more and more virtual airlines, I notice the URL to contain a somewhat confusing string 'index.php' for some users. For example, one can access a module by typing out virtualairline.com/index.php/schedules. This small script removes the index.php and allows you to directly access that part of the website by typing in virtualairline.com/schedules instead. Open up file manager, and be sure to checkmark the box 'Show hidden files' on the root selector that pops up in cpanel. Browse to your Virtual airline root folder(Where phpvms is installed) Open up the .htaccess file Copy/Paste the following code RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

PMd you Looking forward to your reply.

If I may recommend something, either remove the automatic music that plays or add a stop button. I prefer the first choice.

I am unsure of what is being asked, so I am going to include both options. If you are looking into adding a link to vatsim.net/fp in your pilot center you need to simply add the following line of code at whichever location you desire it to be added in your .tpl file which can be found in core/templates: <a href="http://vatsim.net/fp">Click here to file vatsim flight plan</a> If you are looking into directly filing a vatsim flight plan through your website using a one click button That will not work due to Vatsim's high security. However, Vatsim does allow you to prefill form data in the flight plan. To do so you need to post variables through the URL to be passed to the vatsim server. These are pretty much GET variables, if you know what those are. Take a look at this page: http://www.vatsim.net/fp/ If you look closely you will notice numbers next to each field(ex: Type has the number 1, Cruising altitude has the number 7) These numbers are the names of the variables that need to be passed in the url. We pass these variables in this format: http://www.vatsim.ne...index.php?fpc=2=SKY7790 In the example above we passed in the value 'SKY7790' to the 2nd key which is the key for the Callsign field. Additional variables can be passed in by building up on that url by adding &3=B737 or &4=250, etc... This will work to fields that require a text value. Radio buttons are a bit different. The IFR/VFR fields accepts the values I and V (Capital i and v) so, &1=I will check the IFR radio button, and &1=V will check the VFR radio button Here is a compete query that you can work with: http://www.vatsim.net/fp/index.php?fpc=&1=V&2=SKY7790&3=B737&4=250&5=LQSA&6=1552&7=FL140&8=BOSNA&9=LQBK&10a=00&10b=48&&11=RTF=Yourva%20/www.yourva.com&12a=01&12b=47&13=LQTZ&14=Ryan%20Rinaldi%20KSFO

That. The reason why is to add security to server files and to ensure that the Php script is not accessed outside of your domain. If such security measures was not taken then I can simply copy/paste your include and access your entire Database. Fortunately, the include function is scripted so that I cannot.

Usually there would also be an option in your client panel, to do so, quickly. However if you cant find that option, just do as stated above

Actually Daniel, is right. You do need a custom ACARS to be able to do what you are asking. Basically, the software enables a timer(ex: every 1 minute...) and it will record the position of the aircraft at that time, populating a database. Then, each point is plotted into the map. For that to work, though. You need an ACARS to actually record the data in a timer, and upload it to the Database. It is possible that smartCARS has that feature, I am not sure though. As far as I know, kACARS has that feature.

Yes, Agreed with your statement. I am trying to minimize the awards, so that they have value. I was just thinking about 1 year, it seems more formal and impressive. The key to getting this shared among virtual airlines is to get a good team participating. That is why I am looking for a small team to help me set this up. I appreciate your feedback.

Good Afternoon/Morning, For a period of time now, I have been thinking about a Virtual Airline Awards System. This is something that I was looking into creating, in a large scale. I am looking for your feedback, and if you think this is worth the time investing. Let me sum up my Idea: Basically, I want to have a third-party independent website that is coded in a way that every semester/quarter a group of virtual airlines are nominated by the public to receive various awards. These awards will vary from Best Fleet Design, to Most Active Staff. All of the awards require nominations, and final decision by judges(Therefore nothing that is recorded by phpvms in number, such as most landings, most pilots, etc...). Once these virtual airlines are nominated through the website, a group of judges shall come together to grade each virtual airline 1-10 in each award category. When a virtual airline, receives an award they will be put on the Front Page of this website(publicity), as well as receive a badge they can put on their website. I am looking forward to hear your suggestions and feedback. Also, If anyone would like to help out on this project please be sure to pm me. Ryan Rinaldi

I had too, then I cleared my cache.

Its looking very nice, Good Luck with your virtual airline.

Looking Really Professional. Great Job, and Good luck with recruiting pilots!

Cool, I like it, well the website at least. I do have something to comment though, in your website you put this statement: That seems a bit harsh, considering people will be paying you $50-$60 for repaints. The customer is giving you a great sum of money for your services, you need to be prepared to deal with any types of communication, If you cant handle communication then don't expect to get Alot of traffic. Its burning me inside that someone who offers that kind of customer service could actually get customers.

Very nice website, I love the navigation menu. Good luck with the VA!

It is called The Codon Framework, and is available here: https://github.com/nshahzad/codon

Yes, PHPVMS can be used as a CMS platform. The Extracted CMS is also available on Nabeel's GitHub Repository. It is very easy to use and there has already been people who have used it. Make sure to abide by the current license of distribution (Creative Commons).

Hey Dan, Welcome to the forum! I like your VA in terms of its fleet and destinations. However I think it would be a great that before you announce your VA, you finish the website. First Impressions are everything, the first time someone visits your website will be the impression they get of your VA. If its a bad impression, then chances of them even returning or remembering the VA is less than 5%

Good luck and have fun with your VA!

Hello, and welcome to the forum. If you are looking to create a virtual airline, then you could not have made a better choice than using phpvms. It is very easy to use, once you get used to it. I am not sure of the exact details you are looking for but I hope the following can give you an idea: The Plan Making a virtual airline is not easy, well a successful one at least. To get you started you will need to come up with an 'image' for your virtual airline, this includes finding a name, a logo, a domain name(ex. www.website.com). The next step is to layout your plans, including what aircrafts will be in your fleet, your hubs, and your destinations. With that you will be ready to get started. phpVMS Phpvms integrates in the website, to provide you a free and comfortable environment to build your virtual airlines quicker and easier. Before starting the virtual airline, be sure to look at the documentation located here to help you set it up. The website Once your plans are setup, its time to build the backbone of your virtual airline, The website. You will need to pick a host and find someone to design your skin(Check out zumeweb.com or pm me ). If you are not looking to spend money then an alternative can be to pick one of the available free skins here. I recommend you have at minimum basic skills of HTML to be able to customize your virtual airline. ACARS There are two options for a customized acars: kAcars($40 + options) and smartCARS($70). a free alternative is kAcars_free. You will need to set it up in your website. Staff(optional) This is optional, but I recommend you gather some of your friends to help you out in the virtual airline. It will not be easy to manage yourself. Try finding 2-3 other people to help you out with schedules(Probably the most difficult part, lol), fleet management, and Pilot support. Money(optional) A virtual airline can be started without a cent, but If you are looking to stand out you are looking to spend about $30 -> $120+. Before you start planning, you need to be sure to be dedicated enough and have alot of time to invest. Forum(optional) You will need a forum or some kind of environment where your pilots can ask questions, share pictures, etc... There are many free softwares that can help you out, I find phpbb to be the best. Patience Creating a virtual airline requires alot of patience, You will not be successful the day you launch you have to build that success. There are many more detailed tutorials on how to start a virtual airline, here is one to start you off: http://www.flightsim...ontent.php?2188 I hope I was able to help you out, Ryan Rinaldi

Thanks, I updated the file Thanks for your feedback.

That is actually one very nice pilot center(I always love the minimalism designs)

Notice: In order to minimize mass use of the skin, and maximize variety in VAs, the skin reached its maximum ammount of downloads. It is no longer available. Hello folks, I recently created a simple skin with a reworked layout.tpl and style.css. The skin is free of charge, You are also free to remove the "Template by zumeweb" in the footer, if you wish. Here is a link for the demo: [Removed] Download Link: [Removed] I hope you enjoy! Ryan Rinaldi
