Property Module Development

During all these years, I have noticed that va administrators are keen on finding a way to allow their pilots to use their virtual money. I have already released a Piloy Shop module but in reality, purchasing things in Pilot Shop does not give you extra capabilities except the downloadable items. There were a lot of virtual airline who had come back to me and a wide number of custom solutions has been offered. Solutions which can’t be released to the public because most of them require special knowledge and several updates inside the core of the phpVMS system.

Approximately one year ago, a virtual airline got in touch with me and requested the development of a property system. A system which will allow the va pilots to purchase airports, aircraft and other property types. Pilots will purchase properties and they will make money from them based on their usage inside the virtual airline. I developed a system based on their needs and I started thinking that this is something most of the virtual airline owners will like to have. And this is it, I finally managed to clean up its code from several custom things the VA requested and I believe that this is something some of you would like to have.

I am not proceeding with the release for now. The module is initially shared with the PHP-Mods va partners but I would really love to hear your thoughts about it. I have written a manual which includes several information about the module. It can be found here.

Also, I have uploaded a demo phpVMS website from where you can login as an administrator or as a user to check the module.

You can do whatever you want in the demo system and let me know in case you have any question or in case you spot any issue. I would be really glad to hear a feedback from the community.

Thank you!

This looks great. Maybe another thing that can be added are Stocks? They could be based off an API of real world stocks where pilots can compete to earn the most money(By percent of their original investment) monthly, quarterly, or even-…weekly.

I will think of it for a future update maybe. Do you know any api provider for the real world stocks?

This website is what I call, “Heaven for API Gurus” -

You’ll find everything/anything you’ll need there.

Wow - I really like that idea.  I’m definitely interesting in this for my VA.

This looks AWESOME! This is something my VA would like.  We are running on 2.1 - will this work for us?

The module has been developed for phpVMS 5.5. I might give it a try and implement it in phpVMS 2.1 considering that the two system are calculating pilot money different.

OK, well if you need a website running 2.1 to test on, let me know
