Change the acars update

phpVMS Legacy Support
1

Hi There,

i use an addon for live route show for PHPVMS. It works amazing, but i see sometimes a straight line, the problem is my acars program (or phpvms) sends/recieving just every 2 minutes an update of my position. Is there a way to change that to 1 minute or something?

I hope you can help me!

Thanks a lot

Jelle

What acars software do you use ? As far as i know the majority uses a hardcoded timer so there is no way to change it

Hi Vangelis,

I Use the Cacars software, he said it has an update timer from 1 minute.

So you say i cannot change it by myself?

You can’t change the ACARS client refresh time but you can change the default live map refresh time to 1 minute in local.config.php.

Config::Set('ACARS_LIVE_TIME', 720);

Default number is 720 minutes which you can change to 1 minute if you haven’t already done that.

Yes you can change this, as sunair above mentioned, I have mine set to;

Config::Set(‘ACARS_LIVE_TIME’, 420);

Also in the Line above that, forgot what number, look for config file, that also can be changed, mine is set to ever 20 seconds, and it works,

if you need the script let me know, sorry , on my laptop right now.
