TAV1702 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I noticed tonight, I did some traffic patterns and flew around St Louis for a while and landed. Uploaded pirep via FSACARS all went smooth. Here is my question. Is it possible to make it so that admin can add comments to a pirep that has been submitted using ACARS? Or is it possible to add comments via ACARS before submitting the pirep? I have setup a bogus flight as suggested in the FAQ for flights not on schedule and I instructed pilots when able to add comments as in where they fly from and to and all that good stuff. If not is no biggie to me. I can always have them file manually, but that kind of defeats the purpose of ACARS. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators joeri Posted November 19, 2009 Moderators Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 as an admin you can add comments to a filed pirep go to admin/vieuw pending and then next to Accept you see add comment this is for the admin part. for the pilot side this is only possible if you do a manual pirep. hope this helps gr joeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nabeel Posted November 19, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I have to check, I did not see this in FSACARS. But FSFK does have it. I'll do a double take, if you can add a bug for it, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAV1702 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 See that is just it, Admin on site is me and 1 other guy. If I or him come in first and accept pireps, then when you go and view all pireps, you can not add comments to that pirep. So I guess it is only to pending pireps that comments can be added? Like I say the reason why I bring this up is for charter ( non scheduled flight). The only way I will accept them is if they comment on what was flown and from where and to. Like the author of the FAQ said, we know right off the get go not to accept a transatlantic flight in a Cessna 172 ;-) I fly online at an organization that uses Squawkwin and in it they have ACARS as well and it does have a comments box. I wonder if this is the same as the remarks box on ACARS. If so, then all the pilot would need to do is add his/her comments in the remarks? Question is, will remarks get sent through to the website via ACARS pireps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the author of the FAQ said, we know right off the get go not to accept a transatlantic flight in a Cessna 172 ;-) using xacars you can enter flight details dep/arr icao flightnumber we always put in a C at the end so we can see its charter(TAY985C) and verry importand the correct aircraft registration this has to be correct or it won't work to pirep a charter. gr joeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAV1702 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yeah I saw the add comment button. ;-) I'm a dork today. Loads of stuff going on around me. Yeah I got a very specific flight number to use. There is no mistaking that it is a Free Flight. And you are right, aircraft reg is VERY important for it to work. Thats why if the flight in the database call for a 737 but they choose to fly it in an MD80 instead, they can add that in comment before submitting. I'm going to try the remarks thing in ACARS and see if it sends that info as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try the remarks thing in ACARS and see if it sends that info as well. take a break as we say in Belgium go drink a beer . i don't thing you completly get what i am saying the flight is not in the database i use charter flights like this if a pilot wants to make a free flight let say EBBR to KJFK our airline doesn't fly US so no route in the database now i go to xacars put in all the info but 2 things are verry importent don't use an existing flight number we only have numbers so the C after the number make it a charter but also is there so we ar 100%positive the rout is not in the db, then the aircarft reg number this has to be exact. now you can fly every where you want and make a charter ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Nabeel Posted November 20, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 That will mess up your financials though, unless you're going back and adjusting that in the PIREP before you save it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAV1702 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Fixed a few financials things in this next build, hopefully there will be no problems Sounds great. I'm not really having any issues the way I do it per say, one time it did not give pilot pay but it was easily adjusted. Other than that it keeps pretty good track of things.

Administrators Nabeel Posted November 20, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I found a few errors with calculating the load properly and the price off of that. Not sure of the impact, but it should be OK now. The pilot pay I think should be fixed now as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
