david thompson Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Hi, the live maps page isn't working, I was doing a flight yesterday and it didn't show up on the map?? Anyone had a similar experience. Regards Quote
Jeff Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Which ACARS are you using to pull the information from? If you are using xACARS, not to be rude, but it is crap. You may want to think about upgrading your members to kACARS as it seems to be much better at doing it's job. kACARS Quote
david thompson Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Posted June 30, 2010 Hi, it was using FSAcars Quote
Jeff Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 yeah, that's what I meant, not xACARS get rid of fsACARS and get either XACARS or kACARS sorry for the last post There's just so many ACARS programs, it's hard to keep up with them all. FSACARS isn't compatable with the new version of phpVMS anymore. Quote
david thompson Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Posted July 1, 2010 I installed XACARS and downloaded the INI file and all it has in it is ... [server] Address = http://localhost/liveacars.php PIREP = http://localhost/pirep.php FlightInfo = User = Password = [ACARS] POSReportTime = 10 EnableLiveACARS = 1 EnablePIREP = 1 AutoPIREP = 1 any ideas how to fix it? regards Quote
Jeff Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Yep, the xacars.ini just needs to be placed in the XACARS folder located in C:\Program Files\xacars Once you have it in there, just park at the gate and start XACARS and place the bidded flight number (Ex: DAL1328) then you should be able to connect and the rest of the flight info will be filled in automatically for you. You just need to fill in the rest, like FL320 and so on. Then Connect to FSX. Quote
Jeff Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 There might be a setting you need to do at the top in SETTINGS, not sure haven't used it in awhile. but you might need to give XACARS your login information so it can connect to your profile. Quote
david thompson Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Posted July 1, 2010 Ok done that but now all this is appearing. Quote
Jeff Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Yep, I remember that error. There is a fix for it, let me get right back to you with the solution. Quote
Jeff Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 you did do this right? External Link. The info you place in ther is the same found in the ini you downloaded from your Profile. Also, make sure your parking brake is set and your engines turned off. (just trying to narrow the solution down a bit) Quote
Jeff Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 You might also want to try this as well, to see if you are still getting the same error. Extrernal Link Quote
