View File Disposable Theme (Current) *** IMPORTANT *** This is the v3.7.x series theme, it is compatible with latest Disposable Addons (Basic and Special Module) and phpVMS v7 released builds (like v7.0.2) Please check the online readme file from GitHub for update process. If you need to use older builds, like you are stuck at php7.4.x or php8.0.x due to hosting limitations, check my GitHub page for v3.0.19 and v3.3.1 Submitter DisposableHero Submitted 11/22/21 Category Skins  

Hi, Step 1 : Use latest MakeRunways available for your simulator, run it as an Administrator (not the latest one but the latest one for your simulator, this is important) Step 2 : Check the contents of generated Runways.xml (in your root simulator folder, like D:\Aviation\FsX\Runways.xml) Open the file with a plain text editor (like notepad or notepad++), click Search and type in the ICAO code of the airport you are having problems with (like EHAM). If you see something like <ICAO id="EHAM"> in that file, this is good. Because this means that the airport/scenery you added to your FsX is recognized by MakeRunways and now is ready to be read by vmsAcars. You can safely close the file, no need to edit things in here. Step 3 : Run vmsAcars, go to settings, select FsX, check the path definition and click Re-Sync Scenery button. Now, if you still get the same error then there is a problem either in vmsAcars or in the path defined for FsX (or the sim you selected). What basically vmsAcars does is reading that Runways.xml (by using the path you provided) to create a database, you can do it as many time you wish when you add/remove sceneries to your sim. vmsAcars also tries to read parking stand positions etc from MakeRunways results but it is kind of optional and will not generate errors etc. Example; Simulator : FsX Path : D:\Aviation\FsX vmsAcars tried to read : D:\Aviation\FsX\runways.xml So if the path is not set or is not correct or vmsAcars has no rights to access that path then the database generation will fail. (You can see it from your acars logs, they are located under logs folder) Running vmsAcars as admin may help to solve access rights problem. ---------------- So, what will happen if Step 2 (checking the airport in Runways.xl) fails. Well, this is a little bit tricky and not related to phpVMS or vmsAcars, it is directly related with MakeRunways (Peter Dowson) or your simulator or you MakeRunways sometimes skips reading some airports, I was not able to pinpoint the exact cause of this 'cause I am not using FsX/Prepar3D anymore but I think it is related with the afcad file or the addon.xml file of the scenery. One of friends had the problem, it was the afcad file We spoke with the developer, fixed the afcad and problem solved. In another case it was the addon.xml file not being read by MakeRunways, the file was ok but it was being skipped. In this situation, solution is to add that airport manually to the Runways.xml file. I know this is hard because you need to find all the needed data for that airport, make it perfect with no syntax errors etc. But when done properly it works and that airport gets recognized by vmsAcars (without parking stands) Best and safest way is to request that airports information from someone else, back in time I sent some pilots the part they need to add (to the end of) their Runway.xml file. Imagine like you do not have "EHAM" in your file but I do, then I send you only the part needed for EHAM by copying from my Runways.xml file. Hope this helps and you can solve the problem

If you are asking the landing page of v7, yes you can add anything you wish there. Like a widget showing some stats or some fixed text/images etc. Landing page is called home.blade.php and it is located under your theme folder. resources/views/layouts/YourThemeName/home.blade.php If your main page, so called landing page is different then either you need to use v7 api to pull data there or write your own code to read/display v7 data outside of its namespace/domain. like homepage : mygreatva.com/index.php but phpvms installed under : crew.mygreatva.com In theory anything and everything is possible

This error usually pops up when the filename and the inner class name declaration does not match. It sounds weird but try using the same name like Filename : LandingRateChargePilot.php In the file : class LandingRateChargePilot extends Listener And if something is causing problems even afrer deleting the file, it is probably because of the cache. Visit admin/maintenance and clean cache, if not able then you need to manually delete the application cache from It is located at ./bootstrap/cache folder, do NOT delete the folder, delete the files inside it Hope it helps

Ah, I got it now You want the pilot to be able to write (or select) his own ident at registration. Or maybe later he can choose a different one if admin allows this... No, this is not possible at the moment Maybe I can work for it later, a new feature for one of the modules Best wishes,

Pilot (technically user) ID is always automatic can not be changed, it is a database/core thing. Pilot IDENT can be manually adjusted/changed if you need to, and when a new pilot registers to your VA he/she gets an automatic ident too. If you can explain the problem you are facing a little bit more clear, maybe someone can help more. airline icao = DSP second airline icao = ACA pilot ident lenght setting = 4 user_id | pilot_ident 1 | DSP 0001 ( this is probably you ) 2 | DSP 0002 3 | DSP 1001 ( you set this manually from admin -> users -> edit user ) 4 | DSP 1002 ( a new user registered after you manually assigned an ident to a pilot ) 5 | ACA 1003 ( this user wanted to be a pilot of ACA ) 6 | ( You rejected an applicant ) 7 | DSP 1004 8 | DSP 2201 ( you like this guy and gave him a special ident ) 9 | ACA 2202 ( another new user registered, gets the next ident and chooses to be a pilot of ACA too ) and so on.

Did you tested default theme ? Is it working there ? My public modules does not change any core code so you can test by switching to default theme anytime you wish. Balance changes when you do flights and your pireps get accepted; 1. By rank, check your pay/hour definition 2. Or by Per flight, check your flight's pilot pay definition Also every night, cron works and re-calculates all balances. I never heard balance showing 0 or that part not working. As an additional option you can check your laravel logs, maybe there are some errors in it.

Most important things here are 1. Finding the correct blade 2. Using the correct widget at the correct page with proper configuration. Imagine you want to use some "airport" related widget like "Sunrise / Sunset" Then you need to place it a blade where you have some airport related information in hand. @widget('DisposableTools::SunriseSunset', ['location' => $airport->id]) Why ? Because you need to provide it an airport's ID (4 Letter ICAO code). So placing that widget at your homepage will generate an error because there is no $airport (airport model as a variable) there. The error will say something like `unable to get property id of non object` and you will see `500 | Server Error` However same widget, can be used at homepage with a fixed airport code. Then you will not get any errors but it will always show the same airport. @widget('DisposableTools::SunriseSunset', ['location' => 'LIRF']) In short, if you see something starting with $ in the readme, this means that "be careful when placing that widget"

https://github.com/FatihKoz/DisposableTools#usage This section gives the main usage of all available widgets provided by Disposable Tools. Also at the same readme there are detailed sub-sections for each widget. https://github.com/FatihKoz/DisposableTools#top-pilots So for example, if you want to use "TopPilots" widget at your home page, you need to do below items 1. Find the blade file responsible for the page you want to add the widget. Here in our example, imagine you want "Home" page so it is "home.blade.php" located directly under your theme folder. 2. Edit that file, pick a suitable location as you wish, then add it. @widget('DisposableTools::TopPilots', ['type' => 'landingrate']) 3. Save the file. I just copied the example usage syntax from the readme file. If you want to adjust the widget options, then you need to follow the explanations provided in the readme. For example, you want to display not overall leaderboard but only last month, then you add relevant configuration options to the widget call @widget('DisposableTools::TopPilots', ['type' => 'landingrate', 'period' => 'lastm']) Also you may want to show top 10 pilots, then it would be @widget('DisposableTools::TopPilots', ['type' => 'landingrate', 'period' => 'lastm', 'count' => 10]) Most of the time, people get confused with the "grid" design used by Bootstrap (the theme's core) and can not find the correct blade file ("blade" is a Laravel term). All visible pages (the output) are called "blades" and they are stored under your theme folder (nicely organized). Everything related to dashboard is under dashboard folder, pages related to flights are under flights folder etc. etc. If you need more info about Bootstrap and Laravel Blade, I would kindly suggest checking their official documents. ( Default theme uses Bootstrap 4.3 / Disposable Theme v2 uses Bootstrap 4.6 / phpvms v7 uses Laravel 8.x series ) If you are using Disposable Theme you can check it's home.blade.php as an example for how the "grid" system works and how the widgets are placed. Or you can check it from Github with below link https://github.com/FatihKoz/DisposableTheme/blob/main/resources/views/layouts/Disposable_v2/home.blade.php#L33-L48 Hope this helps

"Time Out" is a server limit and can be adjusted. Most probably you are hitting php execution time limits. There are several repeated notes/replies about NOT using beta4, even the download page itself it says not to use it and gives a link to latest development (DEV) builds. Good luck on your new install.

Upload/FTP location : yoursite.com/public/assets/img/new_image.png URL / Usage address : yoursite.com/assets/img/new_image.png Notice the difference with "public", which is the document root hence must be removed from the url.

Mostly styling is done by editing CSS files of themes. No one can explain you things from the universe started with big bang to today. Even though somebody gives you the location or path to default theme's stylesheet file you still will need some more info. https://www.w3schools.com/htmL/html_css.asp W3Schools may be a good location to start reading, provides nice examples and tries to explain things at dummies level step by step. Landing Page : home.blade.php (or dashboard/index.blade.php for logged in users) Default Theme Stylesheet : ./public/assets/frontend/css/styles.css

What is "Operating Costs" ? There is no such field, if you are talking about Subfleet level "Cost Per Hour" it works fine. Also other cost related areas do work well too. Time Out = Happens when the file is big enough to trigger your server's limit. It may be a size limit or uploading time limit (both related to your server's php settings). Won't Recognize Url = You need to check some basic docs (mostly about Laravel blade) to understand the path logic, also you need to double check your typo Example; Upload your file via FTP to ; yoursite/public/uploads/my-repaint.zip URL for download will be something like ; yoursite.com/uploads/my-repaint.zip Notice the difference in the path, you upload to public folder but it is not mentioned in the url 'cause it is the document root. Outside visitors (including you) can not reach files/images outside of that document root folder with URL's, so upload your files under that public folder for linking (use sub-folders under it if you need)

Hi, To use a different language you need to change the locale setting from env.php because this is not a module setting and effects your phpvms v7 installation. APP_LOCALE=en is the default, you can change that to; APP_LOCALE=it for Italian and save your env.php , then go to admin -> maintenance , clean ALL CACHE or APP CACHE for this change to be recognized.

Use latest beta version 1.0.0.1769 please. Current stable ("non-beta") version may act weird with MsFs and FBW A320 Mod (and maybe with other aircraft of MsFs)

My pleasure, hope manual import trick helps you out By the way, even after a successful import, pilots need to reset their passwords to be able to login to v7. So it will take almost the same time (maybe less) for them to re-register

Check your v7 database @miniarma, probably your users table is not imported correctly and "name" fields are empty. I saw people using migration without errors you described, specially not with airports or users part. Why it is generating such errors on your side is strange.

You need to provide some more info for our "suggestions" Unfortunately, this really means nothing. Yes, there is an error you are facing but what it is ? This gives no idea at all. https://docs.phpvms.net/help#information-required https://docs.phpvms.net/help#logs https://docs.phpvms.net/help#enable-debug-and-debugging Without proper error details, we really can't help you much...

The problem is with starting the flight Acars stucks at "Pushback" 'cause engine state does not get recognized with MsFs + FBW Airbus A320 NEO (maybe with others too). So for acars flight never leaves "Pushback" and end flight is not possible, nothing being recorded/recognized during that state. As expected, it never detects the landing in the first place to offer "End Flight". Had to manually change pirep states/fuel values etc from db for tonight's flights and then told my pilots to manually send/file their pireps via web. Just for your info.

Great to see it working You can remove the name from the select 'cause you do not need to send it to SimBrief. <select id="dropdown" onChange="ChangeFormValues()"> When you submit a form, everything you gave a name will be passed with its value (if it is enabled of course). We can not disable the dropdown here 'cause we need it, but we can avoid sending it to SimBrief by removing the name="" tag Just a little trick for you.

I think you can filter the json in your second dropdown, so a second call to database would not be needed / required at all. Once you create the json object from mysql results, what you need to to is ; 1. Show only the ICAO values of that json object in your first dropdown (group them by icao, so there will be only one B738) 2. And when user selects an ICAO type, use onChange() with JavaScript to show/display your second dropdown while passing the user's ICAO Type selection, here you need to show Registrations only which have the selected ICAO type by using the same json object. At this point you will have two values in your hand; ICAO, from the first dropdown and REGISTRATION from second one. Then you can pass those values to your SimBrief form. Hope you can manage to finish this and have a working solution. Since you are not using live database calls, you may not need Ajax at all and all this can be done with plain JavaScript. (even you do not need JQuery to do all the above)

My pleasure and thanks for kind thoughts, considered as if I had that drink

Imagine a scenario, in which pilot lands with -673 feet/minute. ( absolute value is 673 , using abs() makes it easier to handle things logically ) It will pass the first "if" check we put in 'cause we are checking anything above -500 feet/minute. Then it will reach the multiplier part, here our new $amount will be calculated like this $amount = 250 * (673 / 500) , means simply $amount = 250 * 1.346 , result will be rounded so it will be 337 ($ or Eur, your selected currency) The next step will prepare the proper Expense array to pass back, charge_to_user is true, this means that the amount will be taken from pilot's pocket In another flight, another pilot lands with -499 feet/minute, then nothing will happen and no expense will be charged to pilot 'cause it will be captured by the "if" check and it can not proceed further. Now, after the example above and basic explanation here, it is up to you and your imagination + skills

There is no such expense type called Hard Landing and the transaction group you defined is wrong, also the Hard Landing([...]); will mean nothing for the code etc etc. The images you added in above message is not visible, even when I click I see a thumbnail of them, nothing readable <?php namespace App\Listeners; use App\Contracts\Listener; use App\Events\Expenses; class HardLanding_ChargePilot extends Listener { public function handle(Expenses $event) { $expenses = []; $amount = 250; // Do your check here, return an empty array if it is ok/below your check limit (no expense needed) if (abs($event->pirep->landing_rate) < 500) { return $expenses; } // You can even increase the punishment here by getting a ratio // So the harder they land, the higher the punishment $amount = round($amount * (abs($event->pirep->landing_rate) / 500)); // Prepare a New Expense here $expenses[] = new Expense([ 'type' => ExpenseType::FLIGHT, // This must be FLIGHT for a pirep related pilot charged expense 'amount' => $amount, // No need to add two more digitis, 150 is 150$ or 150Eur etc. 'transaction_group' => 'Hard Landing', // This is the group name, visible at financial report 'name' => 'Hard Landing Fee For Pirep='.$event->pirep->id, // Name is visible like a memo 'multiplier' => false, // or true (to use Subfleet GH Multiplier) 'charge_to_user' => true, // true to charge pilot, false to charge company ]); // If you wish you can create another expense here like the one above... // And finally return all new expenses you prepared return $expenses; } } As the example above, you need to follow some basic logic and do checks. If you do not follow standards it will either not work at all (errors out and causes problems) or at best it will not be applied by phpvms v7. Anyway, if you want to code your expenses or have modules/widgets etc you need to study phpvms first, to learn how it works, what it needs/expects.

Sounds like the Hard Landing expense you wrote is not checking the landing rate and charging the pilot always. Which is not good of course I do not know how you coded it or did found an example and used it as it is without modifications. So without seeing the expense you are using I can not help much. For the first question, I kindly do not advise messing up with core code so I will not point you to some core files/filenames You can however, try the second/third alternatives by using the same expense logic you used for the hard landing with some enhancements to achieve what you want
