New simbrief version and options

[LesJar]

I have been reading about the new version of simbrief and was wondering if the Phpvms 7 interface will eventually have the new options as well so that you can fully use Simbrief from within PHPVMS

If the SimBrief API supports these new options, they can be integrated into phpVMS v7.

Haven't heard of that being done as of yet, but the new options were just announced this past week.

 

BTW - what's the status of your phpVMSgen offering?

If you are talking about these, my answer will be "No, because I do not see anything there to be API access compatible". These are mostly for their own planning page (or edit flight plan page).

 

Any API (and phpVMS) user can create lots of features internally on their end, as an example one can allow defining FPL Remarks via their code, or aircraft equipment selection (including PBN) etc.

 

If you check the API documents (of SimBrief) and the form utilizing that API (at phpVMS) you will see how it works, and then you can develop anything you wish to have.

 

Good luck and God speed.

Thank you for your reply the item that Navigraph mentioned was as follows 

'

Airspace.

Avoid predefined areas: Russian airspace, ETOPS areas, and more can be avoided using the dropdown menu. Any other waypoints, airways, or airspaces can be avoided by manually typing them in.'

As a number of aircraft are not ETOPS certified then perhaps Navigraph will release a new version of the api where something like this is available

Yeah if they release some changes for the API, improvements like defining avoids, either country or FIR based, those can be easily implemented in the form too. But don't expect everything to be done by phpVMS (or theme developers).

 

Generally what phpVMS offers you a fully working API access system which is capable of two way communications with their servers. And phpVMS already passes more than enough data to that form, in which you can develop your own stuff, apply improvements, following API changes etc. easily.

 

As an example, SimBrief API allows you to define 4 alternates with their routes, also ETOPS alternates etc. but these are not present in the form. Any VA owner or developer can enhance the form as they wish if required by following the main form logic and the API docs.

 

This is why I ended my first post with "Good luck and God speed"
