you can use xacars it pretty good only not giving a landing rate.

If xacars would report a landing rate that would be perfect, i suppose you cant have it all lol

Or if someone could mod fsacars to send heading updates.

One day maybe.....

Send a request to the xacars author to include landing rate in the pirep submit... maybe he will listen if a few people request it

OK so here it is,

The landing rate is already implemented but not activated yet, because of final testing. Do not ask when, but it will become active some time.

Cheers,

I got the same exact reply so this is indeed exciting news. I can't wait until they release it!

Actually they just released v2.5 back in January of this year.

Check there site mate, latest release 10th Jan 2009 V2.5

If your like me your willing them on to release, it would be so much better than fsacars.

Well 2009 sounds loads better than 2005 for FSACARS!

that is probably a typo as they got this version only for 2 months

ik know becouse i used xacars on a pre phpvms airline

OK so now back to the problem again,

this is being transmitted by xacars but still my map icons are not changing direction,
