One Question

[ThomasZaniboni]

Hello guys, I wanted to ask you a question about the phases of flight Kacars.

My VA is a cargo airline and the stages of Kacars I would change some things: Ex, I would change phase Boarding with the Cargo Loading and other.

Please ask if any of you could help me to make this change, thanks.

Ciao ,

My VA : Cargoitalia Virtual

Sure you can do this within the kACARS_Free module. Open the module and locate the

case 'liveupdate':

Replace the entire case down to the break with the following. NOT TESTED but it should work. Let me know if you have any problems

case 'liveupdate':	

				$pilotid = PilotData::parsePilotID($xml->verify->pilotID);
				$lat = str_replace(",", ".", $xml->liveupdate->latitude);
				$lon = str_replace(",", ".", $xml->liveupdate->longitude);

				# Get the distance remaining
				$depapt = OperationsData::GetAirportInfo($xml->liveupdate->depICAO);
				$arrapt = OperationsData::GetAirportInfo($xml->liveupdate->arrICAO);
				$dist_remain = round(SchedulesData::distanceBetweenPoints(
					$lat, $lon,	$arrapt->lat, $arrapt->lng));

				# Estimate the time remaining
				if($xml->liveupdate->groundSpeed > 0)
				{
					$Minutes = round($dist_remain / $xml->liveupdate->groundSpeed * 60);
					$time_remain = self::ConvertMinutes2Hours($Minutes);
				}
				else
				{
					$time_remain = '00:00';
				}

				$phase = $xml->liveupdate->status;

				$phase = str_replace("Boarding", "Cargo Loading", $phase);  // If phase is boarding replace with Cargo Loading

				$fields = array(
					'pilotid'        =>$pilotid,
					'flightnum'      =>$xml->liveupdate->flightNumber,
					'pilotname'      =>'',
					'aircraft'       =>$xml->liveupdate->registration,
					'lat'            =>$lat,
					'lng'            =>$lon,
					'heading'        =>$xml->liveupdate->heading,
					'alt'            =>$xml->liveupdate->altitude,
					'gs'             =>$xml->liveupdate->groundSpeed,
					'depicao'        =>$xml->liveupdate->depICAO,
					'arricao'        =>$xml->liveupdate->arrICAO,
					'deptime'        =>$xml->liveupdate->depTime,
					'arrtime'        =>'',
					'route'          =>$xml->liveupdate->route,
					'distremain'     =>$dist_remain,
					'timeremaining'  =>$time_remain,
					'phasedetail'    =>$phase,
					'online'         =>'',
					'client'         =>'kACARS',
					);

				#$this->log("UpdateFlightData: \n".print_r($fields, true), 'kacars');
				ACARSData::UpdateFlightData($pilotid, $fields);	

				break;

I'm sorry but not work

[Guest lorathon]

Are you sure about that? I just tested it and it worked fine. You have to give it a chance to work. It will only change when an update is passed from kACARS. Since kACARS passes an update about every 10 minutes you will need to be patient.

Let me know if you still have problems.

Thanks thanks , now work perfectly

[joeri]

now comes the difficould part

could it be implemented for both as we are cargo/pax it would be nice iff it could do that. maby something like looking when you pull a flight from the server iff its cargo or pax.
