I got it all working as I said in the other Post :rolleyes: And now my Deputy Commandeer has tested it and we love it. Easy to use and easy to install. And the info it records on the map as well after filing is great. Thanks for the help earlier and for the great software and module. :D

New Problem Related to the v908 update. I discovered this last nite so I did not update my main site but here it the screen shot I took at my dev site. This happen when you try to get the flight bid info. It did this on my main site also so I reverted back to 907 and it worked again.

I will not move to 908 til this is figured out. My Pilots really like Kacars. So any help would be appreciated :P

Thanks Lloyd

Hey Guys, I am just wondering any of one of you are experiencing any changes to your computer like the speed like when you installed Kacars and used it. That's what i been getting that. And my computer was laggy so i had to uninstall Kacars and my computer is back to normal.

If you are experiencing any of these problems please let us know. Also include your OS you are running.

I am trying to help out the author of Kacars to resolve this problem.

Nope, none at all. I've used it on XP Pro, Vista, and 7. No issues what so ever.

I have about 60 members using kACARS and none have reported any problems with speed, i have personally tested with Windows 7 and XP, no problems at all.

The only other thing it could be is something to do with your dotnet framework, have you tried removing v2 v3 and v3.5 and reinstalling?

Can someone write instructions/video (on youtube is fine) which I can post in the docs here as well?

Thanks

I will write the instructions tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay.

I'll be taking a look at this, shortly. While we haven't had any problems with FSAcars, XAcars provides very little information and FSPax costs money and has some annoying features. This looks like it is simple and to the point.

Now for a critical question. Does it require the use of the bid system?

No.

You have an option to pull down the bid if thats how your airline operates or you can just enter the flight number from your schedules, there is an option in the settings menu to select either way.

Personally speaking i have used this on my VA since its release, highly recommended.
