teamsiems Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Since the forum does not allow search on less than 4 characters and the Documentation "forum" is less than adequate, I guess I have to do this the old fashion way and throw a fishing line out and see who responds. I'm trying out phpvms and I cannot delete hubs (e.g. default KJFK). What's the best way to do that? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go to airport where your hub is and click edit on the right side and uncheck the box by Hub and click edit. To delete an airport you have to go to phpMYADMIN and go to the the DB where phpvms is located at and go to airports then check a box on which airport you want to take off and click on the X and follow the prompt.

There is nothing in the admin panel to remove an airport - that's bad design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N402KC Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I know. I usually delete airports from PHPMYADMIN. Try to do everything threw the admin panel as it was made to do from. Doing things from PHPMyAdmin could cause operating issues of the VMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators simpilot Posted March 17, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 There is a good reason you can not delete an airport -> when the system recalculates PIREPS it uses the data out of the airports table to figure distances among other things. So, if you manually delete an airfield that has been previously used in a PIREP when the system recalculates it will come up with some poor calculations, which in turn will affect finances, and other stats in the VA. Hope this explains the why a little better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could give a warning of pending doom if you try to change data that would effect recalculations. Thanks for the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the main reason is that it could affect existing PIREPs, or any ACARS flights which use those airports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
