William Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago (edited) This community has given me so much in the last 2 decades, and I've personally never had the chance to give anything back. Well, it's time to change that. Attached is a module we have developed for our beloved Virtual Airline, and we have repackaged it for installation into a vanilla phpVMS v7 (tested). We use it daily, and it is extremely popular among our crews. We hope it will be useful for you as well 💪🫶 Description An easy, automated way to reward pilots, create incentives, promote destinations, unlock special flights (or Rank-Free flights), and even reward real-world items (gift cards, sponsors' perks, etc.)? AAdvantage Miles is a lightweight, production-tested module that adds miles/points to your VA with automatic earning rules, leaderboards, and an optional in-VA Shop with "special" Flight Passes for sale. Why it’s good for your VA (and keeps pilots hooked): Fly → Earn → Unlock: clear progression loop that turns every flight into visible progress. Zero micromanagement: automated awards align with your rules (time flown, landing quality, airports), so good behavior is reinforced without admin work. Daily habit builder: login miles, create streaks, and reasons to come back, even on non-flying days. Friendly competition: leaderboards spark rivalry and social proof, boosting activity across the week. Real rewards, not fluff: the Shop converts effort into perks (simulated or not); Flight Passes add scarcity and excitement (including Ranks-Free access when you want it). Event-ready: drop special routes/passes for weekends or special rewards to spike engagement on demand. Trust & transparency: per-pilot ledger shows exactly how miles were earned/spent. Result: more flights, better flying, happier pilots - on autopilot. What it does Per-pilot miles ledger Full earn/spend history Auto-awards Daily login miles (idempotent) PIREP rules: miles/minute, smooth-landing bonus, bad-landing penalty, score bonus (with cap) Airport-specific bonuses (per rule: departure/arrival / both) Frontend pages My Miles, Leaderboard, Shop, My Purchases Admin tools Settings (toggle/tune all rules) Manage Pilot Miles (search, review history, add/subtract with note) Shop Admin (categories/products, stock, per-user limits, purchase ledger) Flight Passes (optional) Create Pass products targeting a specific flight (Flight ID) Optional aircraft pre-bind for SimBrief / aircraft lock Direct-bid endpoint for pass owners Auto-marks Pass “used” when the related PIREP is filed Default expiry: 30 days New: Bid strictness options Off → Pass bids bypass rank/type checks (only the core “at departure airport” rule applies). Ideal for “selling” access to flights to lower ranks On → Pass bids must satisfy your VA’s current rank/type restrictions (module validates pilot eligibility and subfleet/flight compatibility) Compatibility phpVMS v7 (Laravel 8+) DB: JSON columns required (MySQL 5.7+ / MariaDB 10.2+) Views namespaced as AAMiles:: and override-friendly Quick install Copy folder to: modules/AAdvantageMiles Admin → Addons → Modules → Enable PHPVMS Update → visit your.domain/update (runs migrations) Admin → Maintenance → Clear All Caches Configure under Admin → AAdvantage Miles That’s it — pilots start earning based on your settings. **A comprehensive README file is included** Download Link: AAdvantage Miles Addon Module ___ Edited 7 hours ago by William Quote
