Guest lorathon Posted December 12, 2010 Report Posted December 12, 2010 So I finally got the time to go ahead and modify kACARS_Free. The following have been added -> Profile Support - You can now fly with multiple profiles once you have written the profiles -> Site Settings - Along with the new application comes a new module. Inside of this module there are three settings that can be changed by the site administrator that will control kACARS_Free a little bit. 1. FS time in the log or system time 2. Version of kACARS_Free that you are currently running on your VA 3. Ability to not allow a pilot to log in if their version does not match the required (NOTE - The above version check and force out will only work on 1.0.0.9+ versions. Anything older will still log in) -> Actual loaded FS Aircraft Title and Model are logged to the Flight Log -> Added some color changes to some display boxes To use this application you MUST install the module into the core/modules/kACARS_Free folder !!!!!

Mysterious Pilot Posted December 14, 2010 Report Posted December 14, 2010 So I finally got the time to go ahead and modify kACARS_Free. The following have been added -> Profile Support - You can now fly with multiple profiles once you have written the profiles Fantastic! this is a great feature. This will definitely enhance the chances of adoption of kACARS by other Virtual Airlines. -> Site Settings - Along with the new application comes a new module. Inside of this module there are three settings that can be changed by the site administrator that will control kACARS_Free a little bit. 1. FS time in the log or system time 2. Version of kACARS_Free that you are currently running on your VA 3. Ability to not allow a pilot to log in if their version does not match the required OK, I uninstalled the old 1.0.0.8 module and application. I installed the 1.0.0.9 application which I am running now with the new VA template and profile. I uploaded the module to the kAcars_Free directory with that same name (kAcars_Free.php). However, when I go to the administration pages in Site Settings I don't see anything to administer kACARS. I want to set it to use FS time instead of system time and check version. What am I missing? -> Actual loaded FS Aircraft Title and Model are logged to the Flight Log -> Added some color changes to some display boxes Way to go! Quote
Guest lorathon Posted December 14, 2010 Report Posted December 14, 2010 Look in the module. Settings are variables inside of the module. Quote
Mysterious Pilot Posted December 14, 2010 Report Posted December 14, 2010 Look in the module. Settings are variables inside of the module. OK thanks, I read "Site Settings" above and assumed the module had some sort of Admin add-on functionality as well. Quote
Mysterious Pilot Posted December 14, 2010 Report Posted December 14, 2010 Probably today I give it a run with an actual flight. So far I have only been configuring and using the interface. Here a few comments that might be helpful from the standpoint of a user: When the user presses the LOG IN button there is no feedback (until connection is complete) to the user. This is confusing because the user doesn't know "did I press the button?" "Is it doing something?". I think it would be nice to add a progress bar at the bottom with fake progress or a dialog or message saying "Attempting to connect". Once logged in the Logged In message is very difficult to read. Boldface black on dark green is a low contrast combination (maybe lime green?) but it is nice that the color change actually brings the user's eyes to the Logged In message label. Flight Level is a misnomer. There is Flight Level (FL200 = 20,000 feet) and Altitude 9000 feet. Cruise Altitude would be more appropriate. In charter mode you can't select any a/c. You can type it however. When clicking on a button (i.e. when FS is not active) there is no feedback to the user and the application becomes irresponsive until it finishes. I think an Exit menu option in the File menu would be in order, common application standards. A disconnect button (or dynamically change from Connect to Disconnect) would be useful, especially for those who fly multiple airlines. Usually in .NET when programming a windows forms, when the button's Click event handler is called you immediately disable the button (prevent re-triggering and give visual feedback), process the event and at the end of the handler if necessary then enable the button again: public void ConnectButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs args) { Button btn = sender as Button; btn.Enabled = false; .... here your event handler logic .... btn.Enabled = true; } 1 Quote

Guest lorathon Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 #1 - Make sure that you have the correct module for the correct version. #2 - if you use v1.0.0.9 module make sure you rename it to kACARS_Free.php Quote

Guest lorathon Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Try using the v1.0.0.9 module and see if that helps. Remember to rename it to kACARS_Free.php and install in /core/module/kACARS_Free Quote
