liberie Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi Mitchell I also agree with Lorathon, about using the PC hour instead of fsim hour our va already moved ~30-40% of our pilots to phpVMS (>30 pireps day now) , and I started to see problems at least every two days or less where pilots had the hour messed up on fsacars due to some addon changing the our on fsim this is also one of the main reasons to we start investigating creation of one working ACARS system to phpVMS. About the FSUIPC , you can either get local hour, minute, sec using this offsets (0238 , 0239 , 023A) or get the Zulu hour and minute using the offset 023B and 023C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liberie Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Give FS Flight Keeper a shot, it works nearly perfect For personal use I do agree with you , but our pilots doesn't want to spend the money FSFK ask for it some pilots does use (like I do) , but is way more than a ACARS system just on our test server for phpVMS we already have 250 Pilots , the costs of having all using FSFK is somehow prohibitive (after all users migrate this number will go close to 600) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they still offer discounts to VAs, so I guess those pilots who want to can at least get a discount. But you have to contact them about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to contact them about that I did contacted them on Jan when we did the planning for migrate to phpVMS , since them I had no response , and even with VA discount the price still above US$30.00 per copy we should get together all VA Admins that are planning a ACARS system (like I do see at least 4 persons on the forum talking about) and discuss something Opensource to phpVMS like phpVMS is(could be great for VAcentral), get everyone involved and work like a team on it.

Sounds like a good plan, we could keep the repository on github so people can contribute. I wouldn't mind managing it - I don't really have much time for coding, though I could provide the XML spec and then write the phpVMS add-on piece of it.

AFVA | Mitchell Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I would run a counter for the time, since the start/end times could be in different timezones. Anyone have the VB (visual studio 2008) code for a counter/stopwatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N402KC Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Anyone have the VB (visual studio 2008) code for a counter/stopwatch? Just use the timer thats in VB2008 and set the intreval. Remember that 1000MS = 1 second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
