StartVM Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 When I go to add certain airports in the admin panel, when I search VIA ICAO it will say Airport not found. This happens for KATL. I tried inputting the airport info like longitude and latitude manually, but when I start a flight with smartcars, it says you are not at the departure airport. Does anyone know a fix to this issue, or can someone supply me with their Airport info for Atlanta? I run a Delta Virtual Airline so Atlanta is crucial. Thanks! -Chase Quote
Moderators Parkho Posted August 31, 2013 Moderators Report Posted August 31, 2013 The error you're getting in your SmartCARS has nothing to do with phpVMS. The error is because the airport is wrong in your simulator. If you can see KATL added to the list of your airports then it means it's added to the DB with no problem. For the ACARS, i would suggest you use kACARS-free and I'm sure you won't get any errors. Quote
StartVM Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Posted August 31, 2013 Because I had to add it manually, but it won't come up automatically Quote
Moderators joeri Posted August 31, 2013 Moderators Report Posted August 31, 2013 Like he is saying an acars error mostlikley is a sim error and not an error on the website or database Quote
SkiesTheLimit Posted August 31, 2013 Report Posted August 31, 2013 kACARs_free presents the problem still from my experience 1 Quote

Like he is saying an acars error mostlikley is a sim error and not an error on the website or database Sorry guys i know you guys are huge kACARS fans and supporters but this isnt a smartCARS issue and it has to do with phpvms and/or his Sim. How do i know. My VA uses smartCARS with KATL as one of our hubs and have never had any single issue with this. PhpVMS has issues as it is since it cant load KATL as an airport but from what i have read on previous post about this it has to do with the the site all this info gets pulled from.

Thanks! -Chase Chase if you think this is really a smartCARS issue please contact customer service over at TFDi im sure they will be able to help you if its smartCARS causing this. Other than i wouldnt know what could be causing this. kACARs_free presents the problem still from my experience kACARS_free currently has alot of issues and/or bugs...atleast for my pilots and my VA. I still have yet to contact Jeff about it. 2 Quote
Moderators Parkho Posted September 1, 2013 Moderators Report Posted September 1, 2013 Sorry, but I don't see any relations between SmartCARS and phpVMS. The only thing that crosses my mind which maybe the issue is the gateway where you submit reports. I don't know if SmarCARS has it's own module for PIREP submission or just uses ACARS.php file. Also, you might wanna check the Lat and Lon as they may be wrong. Quote

mseiwald Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Well guys since it happens at airports where he manually had to Enter the Info it's pretty obvious that he probably simply made a mistake when adding the Data in the Admin Center. What Lat./Lng. did you Enter for KATL? Can you make a screenshot of all the Airport Info you have entered for KATL. Quote

Okay. .. considering i was multi quoting yours might have gotten in there somewhere without me putting a reply. .. that message was for Parkho...now to your response. ..dont try to give me advice if you're not going to take it yourself. ..ive never said the program isn't good. ...I just said it has issues and/or bugs at least for my pilots and my va. I don't understand all of you guyses issue against smartCARS... is a very good program. Only because they aren't active on here like Jeff is doesn't make it a bad program. Half of you guys haven't used it and say you don't like it. .. makes no sense. At my va we support the use of KACARS and will be supporting it for a long time. My va is about options not about just sticking to one thing 1 Quote

I was thinking the same thing but figured since it's being inputted manually it won't create an issue Quote

My va is about options not about just sticking to one thing i have nothing against smartcars but its not testable for others like me as i am not going to pay 70$ just to test it. i am also not sticking to one thing our pilots can register flights using kacars,tntacars(paid),xacars,IPS for phpvms i think they have options enouph. as for your problems you might care to share them so other might present an solution for that regards me Quote
SkiesTheLimit Posted September 1, 2013 Report Posted September 1, 2013 Yes same here, Issue with phpVMS definitely, tested with both kACARs_free and our custom smartCARs. Quote
Moderators joeri Posted September 1, 2013 Moderators Report Posted September 1, 2013 what are your settings for KATL long lat and name and for me the lookup isn't having anny problems on KATL to find it Quote

StartVM Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Posted September 1, 2013 wow it is amazing to me how nasty people start acting over nothing. Everyone on this post needs to grow up and stop getting defensive over someone elses product. Ariel thanks so much for sending the screenshot. That is all I wanted to begin with lol. Thanks guys!
