Fuel Prices

[Stealthbird97]

Any News on the Fuel Pricing. I'm getting fed up of having to change the fuel price to 5.1 to something more reasonable.

Bump?

What do you mean by any news?

Just set the fuel price to your reasonable price in the local.config then you won't have to change it in the admin center every time you add a new airport.

The automatic Fuel Pricing is what I was talking about. If I want that to work it has to be set to 0 which will use 5.1 has a standard price when its not working.

It's been not working for like 2 months.

Is it ever going to be fixed.

The site that the live pricing was being drawn from blocked the VACentral API server and will not allow it to pull any more data from it. The owners I believe accused Nabeel and the system of being some type of link manager that was hurting their site. I would not expect a new solution any time soon, if ever.

I notied on http://skyvector.com/ their is a layer for Fuel Prices.... Can that info be pulled from them?!

IATA issue fuel prices each day, just trying to work out a way to glean that information off their website and build it in to the project I'm working on. Probably won't be seen for a while though, I'm afraid, but will endeavour to release the code when/if I get it working!

For now I have a cron job that makes changes to the DB every 24 hours, changing to a random value between two figures, to try and give some realism
