kACARs Free - PC Time vs FS Time

phpVMS Legacy Add-Ons kACARS
1

Hi all, trying to help out my friendly VA manager by troubleshooting a minor issue on kACARS and the phpVMS VM.

 

Flight hours are currently being tracked by computer system time, making it possible to make a cross-country flight in 25 minutes.  I understand there is an option to track by FS time, or time factoring in accelerated time.

 

Looking for some guidance on where I might be able to find such a setting and adjust it to reflect in-game time-stretching.

 

Cheers!

I don’t believe that kACARS_Free allows you to limit whether the pilot uses accelerated flight time or not. The log will show if the pilot used accelerated time - and the VA management can allow or disallow that PIREP.

In the kACARS_Free module, the only settings are:

  • logTime - whether flight time stamp is system (computer) time or FS time
  • logPause - whether or not to log pauses
  • version - which version of kACARS_Free the VA uses
  • forceOut - whether to allow pilots with version different than VA uses to connect or not
  • charter - whether to allow charter flights or not

If you want to dis-allow accelerated flight time, I believe you will need to use kACARSII - which is a payware program.

I think this may be what he’s looking for.

That’s awesome, I just wanted to confirm that it’s site-side and not client-side.  Thanks again folks!
