REALSchedule module

[simpilot]

I will be releasing a lite version of the New England Virtual Dispatch Center also known as REALSchedule in coming weeks. I am looking for any input on features VA's would like to see. You can see an example in operation here - http://www.newenglandvirtual.com/index.php/RealSchedule - There are some features shown in the NEvA site that will not be included, mostly the maps and coding to go with them, and the route builder function.

The system places aircraft at their last arrival point and lists their next scheduled destination and makes that flight available for reservation by a pilot. This can be tied to the pilot's last location if you would like in order to limit the pilot to flying only flights that are available from the airport he is "virtually" located at. It will also include a function for pilots to "jumpseat" to another airport by buying a ticket.

Some caveats - each aicraft must have a looping set of schedules with the last schedule returning it to the original departure point. For those that already have a system setup it may be a big undertaking to change what is there. Each set of looped schedules must have its own aircraft as well, so if you have a lot of loops, you will have a lot of aircraft.

Well I will give it a try. We have been building a web for each of our Wings(Airlines) so this will be a great test for it. And the jump seat Idea is great too.

Yeah, got myself working on EVENTBooking. I will see if I can clean this up and get something out by the end of the weekend.

Ok,I'm working on this but need to know what you guys are thinking for the jumpseat ticket charge. A flat rate overall or a cost per mile of flight. I dont think you want to have to set up a cost of every possible jumpseat flight....

Also, I would assume that the ticket would be free if you ended up "stranded" at an airport. ie - you fly an aircraft in and it is the only one there and someone else jumpseats in and flys it out before you come back to fly again.

mh..i don´t think a flat would be the best way - unrealistic *hehe*

Maybe 50€ per 100 Miles or something?

[simpilot]

Do you need a limit to the number of jumpseat tickets a pilot can buyover a time period? 2 per month or something?

[Nagelfar]

well we got the policy that each pilot got the amount of 10 Charter flights per month - but maybe were the only ones with that kind of rules:_) so i think it shouldn´t be limited

I need a limit to the number of jumpseat tickets a pilot can change location a time period.

I think 2-4 per month is good

*bump*anything new about this module?

[simpilot]

It is out with a couple of va's for initial beta testing, as soon as I get some response and correct any major issues I will get an initial release out.

I removed some of the functions that are running at NEvA and also updated the code to reflect the newer phpVMS procedures and just want to make sure it is correct.

Looking forward to the module!
