I strongly disagree. KACARS simply throws on a new logo and changes the background color. We actually get with our clients to ask exactly how they want it designed. We also have way more options available. We can basically do anything you request. Here is a list of things we offer. Please remember all the add on features are only 10 dollars no matter what.
Extra Features ( not full list ):
. Divert Button, if you cant fly to planned airport you push this button and put in a reason why you diverted then your whole flight is changed over to your alternate airport
. Route Parsing, If the pilot uses a route we have a database of over 300k navaids and fixes which help the admin view the flight they filed for and a what they actually flew
. AFK Check, KACARS does have this. However, there's is easily stoppable for example there is a batch file someone made that makes it so that you can cheat the AFK Check. Ours is dynamic and makes you answer a simple question every time and every time the question is different like: "What altitude are you flying at" if you answer it wrong within 3 attempts. The PIREP will be sent and flag it as possible BOT or AFK pilot.
. LIGHTNING Fast Chat ( free with base ) KACARS is driven by PHP and a Database ours is actually socket programmed so you can get messages instantly.
. In flight announcements, custom for every VA.
. Live Map within ACARS
. FS Screenshots
This is just SOME of the features we are able to do. If you tell us you want a radio player within the ACARS well... We do that too.
We are currently putting up a test PHPVMS site with the ACARS within it to download. This will not be a free version that you can utilize on your VA however there will be an admin account set-up so you can Act as the CEO, Pilot or whatever you wish.
