kACARS live map updating

[vcal]

How often does the map update?

I watched mine and it seemed to update every 5 secs. 5 mins would be better.

Can it be changed?

UPDATE

It has been over 12 hours since a pilot logged off and is still showing at destination on the map. Ideas anybody?

kACARS updates every 1 minute

The reason you stay on the map that long is part of your local config in phpVMS.

# ACARS options
#  Minutes, flights to show on the ACARS
#  Default is 720 minutes (12 hours)
Config::Set('ACARS_LIVE_TIME', 5); 
Config::Set('ACARS_DEBUG', false);

Adjust the ACARS LIVE TIME

Which version are you on? It's in the acarsmap.js file IIRC, it's moved for the next version into the template

Version 854. Is it possible to give us the choice of how often it updates rather than alter files?

Unfortunately, in that version, you have to change it in one file. In 2.1, it's in the template. But it's a tiny change.

In lib/js/acarsmap.js, this line:

setInterval(function () { liveRefresh(); }, 6000);

Change the 6000 to the number of second to refresh. It's in milliseconds.
