ACARS MAP problem

XACARS is what i use

but i have some of my pilot use FSPAX

I may have a fix for this. I too am using xacars and I love phpVMS. But I've noticed since xacars does not report distance remaining it was driving me crazy. After reading on this forum an article how to display the percentage complete, I realized this wouldn't work for me either because of xacars not reporting distance remaining. To make this short, I was able to modify ACARS.PHP to calculate current position and subtract that from the latitude and longitude of the arrival airport. It worked like a champ.

This should solve the problem for users using both xacars and kacars. If anyone is interested, I'll probably be posting the code on this forum. I'm just not sure where it's best to post it. Here on this post as a reply, a new topic or the original posting for calculating percentages.
