Hi Guys

Not used PHPVms for a long time, but decided to give it a try and again. Am I right in saying that if I want ACARS with point scoring, I need to pay £45 for the software? Or I can use vmsAcars 7.0 free download to just record basic flight information with no point scoring?

4 of use clubbed together to pay for it, now it is free to all our pilots.

 

It is very good and the writer is working on it all the time improving.  

 

Well worth the money in my view.

 

regards

There ARE alternatives, but. . . .

 

First of all let me just say that the easiest way is probably to just pay for the supported version.

 

However, if you for some reason WANT to expose yourself to hours of coding and testing, you can do as I just did.

 

I spent the last 3 days (yes, THREE days) making a bash script that reads the data from free fsacars serverlogbook.csv and converts the values from US to metric before it injects the data as a new pirep in the phpVMS database.

 

So it is possible, but not recommended, unless you really really really enjoy coding bash scripts 🤓

Phpvms internal (database level) units are all imperial (us) why did you changed them to metric ... or why did you needed that in the first place :)

 

You may have spent less time for that script or make it much better in the given amount of time without dealing with conversions.
