Hi again,
As written in the fsacars notice, the error message might show up (which did in my case) but PIREP is sent to system…
The only issue with that is :
Fsacars thinks the flight log is still not sent and so, at next flight it will send again and again the previous flight…
Is this because fsacars does not receive a “OK” from the website ?
I am willing to help you on that subject to identify the bug…
Thanks for the help !
;D
It does see the OK message (I’m assuming), I send out an OK either way. I don’t always get the error. I can’t really ask the FSACARS people either about it, since they seemingly closed shop.
It usually shows up when you click “Send Log”, but when you accept the PIREP, it should send the PIREP right then. I haven’t had the time to really diagnose it in too much detail.
I also notice when they get sent in with fsacars on the website under the pilots page if you click on a pilot it doesn’t show a prep at the bottom as if you were to fill one out on the website. I didn’t know if this is in the matter of being fixed but i just thought i would let you know.

Do you see it in the admin panel, under that pilot?
If i click on the All Pilots link it brings up all pilots and shows he has one flight all good. But if i click on his name it shows his info…all good…but under PIREPs List it dosent show anything even tho he submitted a Pirep through FSACARS..lol

I always get the error but by activating the log, I see that not all the info show up well…
If you wish to get further wish the log just mail me ! 
You can post your log file from the engine, just in app.config.php, set ACARS_DEBUG to true (if the entry is in your local.config, set it there), then just attach the /core/modules/acars/log.txt file in a post here, and I’ll take a look
Well the log shows up that :

The problem seems to be coming from fsacars soft itself as the log received something…
But is there a way to enable a debug mode for this software (the fact that I am under vista will not help either…)
Cheers !
Your PilotID is doubling - in youre config file, set CompanyICAO to blank (CompanyICAO=)
As for debug mode, I haven’t found a way. I use that log to debug as well.
What you can do is, the top line:
pilot=XLRXLR0003&date=2009/01/04&time=23:22:00&callsign=®=F-TACB&origin=LFLL…
Put it in your URL as:
yourcompany.com - This website is for sale! - yourcompany Resources and Information.…
And you can see the system response (should be “OK”)
The fsacars INI template build the pilot name like that and if I remove the XLR before the numbers, the google maps does not recognize the pilot !
Ok I checked, As you said, response is OK with all the array stuff…
Anyway, I looked into the original send_pirep.php provided by fsacars team…
As I am a total dumb at coding, is there a difference between :
RETURN "OK"
(in Original fsacars file)
and
echo "OK"
(in phpvms files)
Cheers !
OK,
I found out what was messing with FSACARS !!!
It seems that you added an output in your log with the result ARRAY… (apache server seems to output this as a single line which might contribute to the error also)
Here is the server result on submit : (one long single line)

fsacars software seems to be reluctant to that piece of information by simply removing (or commenting) the following line, the issue wanished !
Here the “work around” in fscars.php in /core/modules/ACARS/ :
Just search and comment it out or remove it :
print_r($data);
(you can find it at the end of the file)
I’ve been working hours to understand why this was not working and finally !
I will continue testing it and give you feedback…
Cheers !
[/code]
Doh!
writedebug($data);
print_r($data);
Didn’t remove the print_r()… heh. I changed that on my side so it’ll be corrected… Thanks! I end up leaving something, funny thing is, the writedebug() was so I didn’t have to do print_r(). Sorry about that…
Also, don’t remove the XLR before the numbers in the pilot ID, just remove it from the CompanyICAO. It’s the way I need the complete ID and code of the pilot, while I can change that going forward, it’ll take a few places to change it so it accepts both (I’ve changed other code so now I can take only the ID number).

Glad to have helped !
But concerning the CompanyICAO, are saying I should remove it from the INI ?
In that case, the INI would become invalid !
(To be honest, I didn’t catch that point… You can still PM or email me if you want to push things forward)
Cheers !
Well, redownload the ini file from your site and compare, the CompanyICAO will be blanked out, don’t remove it but set it blank so the line reads:
CompanyICAO=
And for your pilot ID, include the airline numbers
Harry and great and it works!!! Woot, thanks guys now i just need to find out why FSACARS wount update my stupid log, its suck on this one flight, haha

Heh… I wouldn’t do that if I where you… As fsacars will not work correctly !
Works just fine here and for the others who have done it. What’s going on?
fsacars shows blank choice at startup… and no fields are pre-entered at startup…
Well don’t knowif it is the best way to do this
Cheers
It should show the pilot ID in place. Redownload the config from your site. and see if that’s okay.
I’m reformatting the ID stuff
Here is what I see when I configure the INI file like this :
[FSacars]
CompanyICAO=
CompanyName=VA Name
CompanySite=http://........
UnitSystem=IS
Remarks=RMK/
UseLocal=0
PilotNumber=XLR003
CompanyIATA=FLIGHT #
I don’t think it is normal behaviour…
Cheers
