I was not talking about a shared, worldwide route database... I was thinking about a local, VA only database with some critical (dep-arr-route-airac-active) and optional (rwy-sid-star-remarks-validity etc) fields. Which will be maintained by the VA staff. I am not after something to hurt my own mental health like providing route to different VA's, if someone is creating a virtual airline, then that same someone should be able to handle all aspects of managing an airline (or be able to create an experienced team to do that). Personally I am already dealing with my own (real) airline's route database and it is a complex task. There are lots of people working in the background to support front line dispatchers on daily planning, so no, I am not that mad to do that for a bunch of VA's spread around the world Anyway, one day (hopefully after retiring) I will convert that idea to code, at least it will be enough to fulfill my own needs. Safe flights PS: There is no such thing called "best route", it depends on a lot of factors and that factors can change daily. So you can not have the "ultimate best" generated and saved somewhere, it is a dynamic process

1. Only if mandatory between city pairs, like a specific company route between DEP-ARR, or a route forced by ATS with special levels/speeds. 2. Only if mandatory between city pairs or needed by ATS ('cause Flight Level is subject to load-performance and wx along the route) So having YES/NO for questions 1 and 2 is not enough, it really depends on the situation. As an example to #1, you need to file RATVU UT35 BABSA for an IST-AYT flight, this is mandatory and published as RAD (Route Availability Document) by ATS. So I do have that route inserted to all of my IST-AYT flights (and have a similar one for the return leg). What v7 needs (in my opinion) is a detailed "Route Database", instead of inserting the same routes over and over, we should be able to have a table (with details and maintenance options) and it should offer pre-defined/saved routes between city pairs when planning (also frontend flight details page can use those stored routes on the map, which then will give ideas to pilots between options etc) What SimBrief gives you is another topic and should be checked before using (check SimBrief docs/forum) 'cause it does NOT auto generate always, to speed up things most of the time it gives you the last route planned between those city pairs so if someone tries a strange route (or sends in an old route from his company db) then you will have the same.

Use Laragon instead of Xammp, all will be fine

"Any recommendations ?" Yes, please check the docs and inspect requirements, it will give you important clues about what you need/seek for at your hosting provider. Stay away from free hosting solutions, be sure you will get prompt support from your hosting, consider VPS (if your plans are big). Do your homework, define your requirements first, make your decisions, act later with a plan. What to use, how to use, when to use etc... Do NOT try to buy something without checking first. Like you can not use v5 with a new hosting, likewise you can not use v5 supporting acars solutions with v7, or hosting services providing support for v2/v5 will not run v7 etc. etc. And you can always use vmsHost for your hosting needs. At least you will always be sure about compatibility about stuff (phpVMS = vmsAcars = vmsHost) Good luck

Here is the link if you can not find it easily https://forum.phpvms.net/forum/39-paid-services/

Then you can check "Paid Services" of this forum You can find people offering services, or ask for someone special for your needs. Good luck

It is being actively developed and improved, this is the reason of that beta4 note Enjoy v7 with latest dev.

It is just two or three clicks for the pilot to switch between installed (and configured) simulators. So yes, it is of course possible. I am using XP11/12, MSFS (and doing tests with FSX/P3D whenever necessary). Settings (first click) > Select Simulator (second click) > Save (third click) Safe flights,

I have some ideas, I would like to represent them as questions Did you completed your setup properly from admin side ? Do you have any subfleets ? Do you have any aircraft defined to/under that subfleets ? Do you have any rank / type rating restrictions ? How is your settings done ? Aircraft at departure, flights with subfleets etc. Did you read the guides ? (Specially the initial setup and subfleet setup) https://forum.phpvms.net/forum/57-general-discussions/ Good luck

Registration page follows your admin settings / definitions. It is not something related to a widget or theme setting, it is a core feature being used by the theme. If you enable "Show On Registration" checkbox for your custom profile/user fields my theme follows it and shows the entry fields.

Kindly reminder; Change your application name (APP_NAME) from env.php 'cause it is still "phpvms", probably forgotten during install For the rest, I can only say "Thanks for your kind thoughts, I am glad that my contribution is being used and liked" Safe flights

Did you checked docs (Acars > User Manual section) for "Flight Phases" (states) ? https://docs.phpvms.net/acars/user-guide Pirep:mrMymp3anA00YB5p TAKE OFF reported Without ENR / Enroute, probably acars will not move on further. I do not think that reducing reporting times will change anything. Either you will fulfill the requirements described in user guide (also you may need to alter your schedule to eliminate those short flights) or vmsAcars needs to be updated (which will affect all users and this needs to be considered deeply) Good luck

Well, considering v7 can support more than one airline (I have 26 in my setup) and their schedules and their fleet I do not think that this will be an issue. Regarding admin work (adjusting those schedules to reflect proper airlines / fleet), yes you need to work on that. No one can do it for you, this is a management task to be done. We all did it at some point, either from upgrading from v5 or creating new v7 installs. This is unavoidable at all. For smartCars I do fully agree with @ProAvia (also I do agree on switching to php5.6 too) it is a choice you need to make at some point, either now or later... Again no one can help you on that Good luck with v5.x and install

Did you tried installing on php7.3 ? I do not think that there are plans for a specific php version, maybe with some fixes v5.x series can run on php7.3 and php7.4 but not php8. So a year later, or max two years there will be less than limited support for old php versions. You may need to seek for a VPS (in which you can install anything you need and it will be fully under your control) If you need to use v5.x of course, if not you may check phpVMS v7.x series (at least it runs on recent software and hardware, still being developed and supported)

You have three solutions; Use an earlier version of fsuipc-lvar-module or, Update vmsAcars\FSUIPC_WAPID.dll file with the latest version (check FsUipc\Utils directory) or, Wait for a vmsAcars update. Safe flights

Really ? There are options under each Airline, Airport, Subfleet and Aircraft to add files. Also there is an option under vmsAcars module designed to provide a download link separate from the above groups, just for vmsAcars itself as expected. But you can not see any options for an Admin to maintain files Looks like you are rushing, overlooking or not looking at all Hope this helps, good luck

It can be done of course but you need to go deeper and come up with an enhanced map solution (like defining icons for each item on the map at backend) and then compile the new script, adapt frontend to follow backend changes (like removing the generic icon usage etc).

Latest development build is dated 06.FEB.2023, so you should assume that it will work with "current" technology.

What is "today's web hosting" ?

Import them again with proper subfleets. This will update the flights and their subfleet assignments. Or delete all flights (during import) and do NOT use any subfleet codes in the csv, then all your subfleets (current and future ones) will be available for all flights. Good luck

My pleasure I was a developer, many years ago (while I was a teenager and a youngster around my twenties).That "basic" knowledge comes from those nice years, rest is 2+ years experience with v7 and some refreshed skills for v7 addon/theme development (I needed them, no one was around, so I started developing again), nothing more Enjoy v7

No problem, we all had the same feeling back in time There is a place at GitHub for "Feature Requests", if anything comes to your mind and if this is not a bug somewhere you are always welcome to create new request. And if this is good for all users, it gets attention. Not everything is implemented in and response is not lightning fast but it gets considered, been discussed with other users etc most of the time So use it please, otherwise your ideas will remain in your mind or get lost in the forum/discord channels etc. Safe flights
