Guest lorathon Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 It will have been a week tomorrow sInce I first released kACARS. I have had a boat load of hits to the downloads but have not received much feedback. Please tell me what you think. What can be better what are the problems what is annoying and needs to be tweaked...etc... One of the key reasons that I wrote this was the problems with FSACARS and XACARS both of which seem to have zero to minimal support. I hope that I have shown that I support my app's 100% and will get any errors fixed as quickly as possible. Without the communities help it will never be what you all want it to be. I would appreciate it if you logged into my forum and posted your thoughts, requests, etc..... FS-Products Thanks for trying it out and Thanks for reading, Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcal Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I can't thank you or congratulate you enough for this great little program. So easy to setup and use, myself and my pilot (not long started a VA) love this program. We love it. THANK YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'm running kACARS with easyjet, and I have noticed that today, during climb I levelled off at about fl060 en-route, and the program said I had reached TOC..Are you able to implement a timer for say.. A minute and a half, to allow any altitude changes, because I know that often ATC will have you remain at a certain altitude for a short period of time.

Regards, I thought I answered this but apparently not. The flight level should be set to your final FL. The TOC is based upon what is entered at the time.

CrashGordon Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Excellent. Rock stable. Only one thing...is it supposed to permit uploading a PIREP if your crash? [10:04] - Flight OMG0 is ready to depart OMG1 with a final destination of OMG1. [10:04] - Boarding [10:06] - Taxiing to Runway [10:06] - Taking Off [10:06] - Take off at 97kts, with a pitch of -3deg and 2560lbs of fuel on board [10:06] - Climbing to TOC [10:22] - Simulator Paused [10:23] - Simulator Un-Paused [10:36] - Landed at -5029fpm. With 2190lbs of fuel onboard and a pitch angle of 12deg. [10:36] - Simulator Paused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we know how the name "Crash" has stuck - - sry, couldn't resist.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 When I left, to walk the dog, I was at FL310. When I got back, I was in a stall condition a few hundred feet AGL, from which I couldn't recover. When I looked at kACARS, I still had the option to stop recording and when I clicked that, the option to upload the PIREP. Actually, I don't mind being paid for a flight I didn't survive, but was just trying to find out if it is a bug or a feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravo27 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Like this.... core/modules/kACARS_Free/kACARS_Free.php is there any other set up to do when you drop the file in that location thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lorathon Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 If you are running the latest version of phpVMS then you do not even need to do this. The kACARS_Free module now comes pre-installed with phpVMS. If you are using an older version then you just need to drop the file into that folder and setup kACARS_Free correctly (point the URL Base in the direction of your site) and thats it. If you need any help let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPC900 Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Is it possible to make the Passenger Count editable, so I can make it match what my FS Passengers has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lorathon Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 I will do that in the next version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators simpilot Posted May 21, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Is it possible to make the Passenger Count editable, so I can make it match what my FS Passengers has?

Administrators simpilot Posted June 5, 2010 Administrators Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 A small request: Would it be possible to include the version number in the pirep report? Maybe at the end just have a "VER:1.0.1.0" or something of the like. I am starting to run into pilot issues and am having a time tracking things back not being able to see what version they are reporting with. Us pilots are not always the smartest group.

I do the same with our airlines ACARS. I should have added that. I will do it on the next version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
