kACARS_Free 1.0.0.9 (BETA)

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 !!!!!

Your the man, going to give this a try! I'll report back.

Everything Is working and It's doing good with the settings! Now I have the power to control pilots to what they use for versions! LOL.

Good Work lorathan!

Fantastic! this is a great feature. This will definitely enhance the chances of adoption of kACARS by other

Virtual Airlines.

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?

Way to go!

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;
   }

what was the problem and how did you fix it thanks

Problems were:

1. did forget to upload the new php file

2. when uploaded the renamed php file I set up false base url

forum.simaerobatic.com instead of the correct http://forum.simaerobatic.com/

hope that helps other having non connect trouble

best regards

#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

I am going to assume this is a free hosting site. Is that correct?

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
