Stratos ACARS — Early Access Open for phpVMS VAs

G’day all,

We’ve just opened early access on Stratos, a multi-sim ACARS and dispatch client with free open-source phpVMS 7 modules. We’ve just passed 10,000 tracked flights on the platform with a handful of early adopters and are now ready to start onboarding our next group of virtual airlines.

Benefits for pilots

  • Live telemetry directly from your simulator (via SimConnect) with milisecond precision
  • Landing analyser with a 0 to 100 score, runway diagram, and wind at touchdown
  • Automatic PIREP filed on shutdown, no manual data entry
  • Searchable, filterable pilot logbook
  • Native builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Supports MSFS 2024/2020, X-Plane 11/12, P3D v4/v5/v6, and FSX
  • Customisable panels and themes
  • Free to download
  • Easily switch between different virtual airlines without needing to download additional software

Benefits for VAs

  • Free, open-source, MIT-licensed phpVMS 7 modules (Core API and Logbook API)
  • Drops straight into phpVMS via Admin → Modules
  • Reads and writes phpVMS-native pireps and acars tables, no extra schemas
  • VA-branded dashboard with your colours, logo, and terminology
  • Documented REST API with OAuth 2.0
  • Live flight map of all your aircraft in the sky
  • Personally onboarded before go-live
  • More modules on the way (screenshots, pilot presence, create-a-flight, announcements)

Happy to answer questions here or in DMs.

Note: this will eventually become a paid product that will have a generous free tier. Idea being smaller VAs aren’t gated out and the larger ops help keep the lights on.

Looks fantastic! I’ve joined the waitlist for my VA
