Hello

I have some problems with FSACARS and the pireps.

When I do one non-scheduled flight, FSACARS send this log file :

[2009/06/07 14:25:00]

Flight IATA:FLIGHT ? 58? 13?? E002? 26? 41??

14:30 Parking brakes on

14:30 Block to Block Duration: 00:05

14:30 Final Fuel: 780 Lbls

14:30 Spent Fuel: 08 Lbls

14:30 Flight Length: 05 NM

14:30 TOD Land Length: 05 NM

As you can see, there is not a lot of informations.

When I do a scheduled flight, I have this pirep :

[2009/06/07 14:17:00]

As you can see, there is a lot of informations.

Is it normal that I don’t have a lot of informations for the non-scheduled flights ?

I would like FSACARS to sent the touchdown rate. How can I do to have it in my pireps ?

Thanks

The schedule’d/non scheduled shouldn’t matter in the FSACARS log.

The first one you posted is a very short flight (1 minute), so there isn’t any info. Looks like the aircraft didn’t move (fsacars was started then shut off).

3

And in the FSACARS options, you may have to check off the option for it to show the rate

4

For the first flight, it is a take-off and a land on the same runway. I see in FSACARS that there was a lot of information, like the flaps (I moved the flaps and FSACARS record it).

When I send my pirep with FSACARS, just after the pirep is sent, is it normal that all the informations are deleted in FSACARS ?

Thanks

This is an other flight which is not scheduled :

[2009/06/07 14:25:00]

Flight IATA:FLIGHT ? 58? 13?? E002? 26? 41??

14:30 Parking brakes on

14:30 Block to Block Duration: 00:05

14:30 Final Fuel: 780 Lbls

14:30 Spent Fuel: 08 Lbls

14:30 Flight Length: 05 NM

14:30 TOD Land Length: 05 NM

No more informations.

Before I used phpVMS, I used FSACARS without any module.

I have these errors since I use phpVMS.

What must I do ?

You said I have to check off one option to add the touchdown rate in the pireps, but what option do i have to check off ?

Thanks

It’s not being used properly, it doesn’t matter if it’s schedule or not, FSACARS doesn’t/has no way of checking whether there is a schedule or not.

If you look at the flight time, it’s all within one minute, that’s why there isn’t enough information.

I’m not sure what option, it’s in the FSACARS program itself. If you look at their site, there might be more information

Hello

I found one solution : I created a scheduled flight : departure ZZZZ and arrival ZZZZ

Now, with this schedules flight, all is working.

I will look at FSACARS website.

Thanks for your help.

But, again, it doesn’t matter whether it is scheduled or not. The flight you showed was a minute long, which isn’t long enough for fsacars to collect any flight data
