Kairon Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Well I've been watching my acarsmap, it has an error one would help to know where to start to solve this problem. When you're flying with kACARS it shows the distance Wrong, example: If I'm flying when I KATL-KBNA and landing he says he is missing 50 miles, but this is wrong because I got to the destination and KATL. When you're flying with FSAcars it shows the wrong heading, the aircraft are all pointing down 207 heading. Does anyone know how to fix these bugs? Thanks to all.

Jeff Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Try going into your schedules and make sure that the Coordinates are correct for both Atlanta and Nashville. You can check them by either clicking the Lookup on the ICAO in the Admin Center, or by checking with Wikipedia. Also make sure that if you or he chose to file a flight plan, that the waypoints are correct in acars. You can use Simroutes, FSBuild, Flight Aware or whomever you prefer that has a flight planner. See if any of these work for you. Another thing is that FSAcars doesn't really work that good anymore with phpvms, and you should either go with XAcars, kAcars or I think Lorathon (aka, Jeffrey Kobus) has a customized one you can purchase from his site that I hear is the best out there. I forget the website, but you can PM him about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairon Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Very thankful for the response =) The error of the distance I tried everything, with the FSAcars is correct. With kACARS is wrong, I'll send a PM to Jeffrey Kobus Good flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Jeff, I did remember you had one world virtual, did you shut it down and you seem to create a new virtual airline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yeah, I had shut it down mid last year due to financial problems (thanks Obama ) and finally was able to regain some control of my finances again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kairon Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Guys, here is a screen print is not only ATL-BNA are to see almost airports: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lorathon Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Kairon, The FMC calculates distance based on the entire route (NAV point to NAV point). phpVMS calculates distance based on the location of the aircraft to the location of the airport (straight line) so there are bound to be a slight difference.
