Strider Posted September 30, 2011 Report Posted September 30, 2011 In the pilot center, you can download a config file for xacars. It has it all written out for you. Quote
Moderators joeri Posted September 30, 2011 Moderators Report Posted September 30, 2011 ahh yeah thats correct forgot about that one Quote
Nigge Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Posted 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? Quote
Nigge Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Posted 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 /Niklas Quote

Moderators joeri Posted September 30, 2011 Moderators Report Posted September 30, 2011 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 Quote
Nigge Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Posted September 30, 2011 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! Quote
Moderators joeri Posted September 30, 2011 Moderators Report Posted September 30, 2011 lol i belive after stop acars you get a popup to send or save the flight. Quote
