In the pilot center, you can download a config file for xacars. It has it all written out for you.

joeri · September 30, 2011

ahh yeah thats correct forgot about that one

Nigge · September 30, 2011

Thanks, now the settings seems a bit more accurate but when i enter the flight number that i entered when i created the schedule (the flight number is: DY2111. but when i enter DY2111 in xAcars and press get Acars flight data it says that it cant find the flight.

What am i doing wrong?

Nigge · September 30, 2011

The settings that phpVMS has entered for me is:

Acars server: http://localhost/virtual/action.php/acars/xacars/acars

Pirep server: http://localhost/virtual/action.php/acars/xacars/pirep

Flight info server: http://localhost/virtual/action.php/acars/xacars/data

This seems strange... the paths points to the action.php file and then subfolders to that file?!

this cant be right or can it?

I am using xampp on my local network so noone outside my local network can access it so i cant paste the url, sorry...

but phpVMS is installed in the virtual folder.

And it works to add airplanes, pilots and so on...

Thanks for your help

and still no luck...

its realy difficould as you are not on a (live)server but running it localy

i think xacars can handel the fact that its not going to a live url.

run this

http://forum.phpvms.net/page/index.html?record=31

and see what is enterd in the xacars log fill

This is a bit embarresing;-) i found the problem... i read that "dont forget to add the airline code" when adding a scheduled flight...

So each route i named for example ABC124

And tried to enter that into xAcars... the problem was that i was supposed to ADD the company letters in front when writing in xAcars;-) when i did that it worked. at least it tracked my plane during takeoff... i had to shut down fs so i couldnt test untill i landed...

SO the last question remains... When i have landet, do i just press "stop Acars" and then the information is provided to phpVMS automatically?

or do i have to do something else?:-)

Thanks for your help this far!

lol

i belive after stop acars you get a popup to send or save the flight.
