FS Flight Keeper (FSFK) Position Update Map now working

For those with FS FlightKeeper, I'm pleased to announce that the Live ACARS position update now works so your flight appears on our website in the "SPA ACARS" area of the main page.

This along with the ability to post PIREPs, which has been functional here at SPA for some time, and the nice GPS mapping that displays flight plan and airports from FSX is a really nice benefit. It's true that FSFK is a bit spendy, but for those who have purchased it, we now support it here at SPA!

The GPS doesn't link up with your Nav system as far as I know , but it's great for finding those airports that are difficult to spot. There's also a messaging feature with others flying I think. I'm still exploring and will add any features to SPA that will improve its functionality.

As with the free ACARS system, a file is needed to place into the FSFK templates folder and then connect the Live ACARS system of FSFK to transmit position data.

I can provide the files for FSFK (Live ACARS and PIREP - two separate files) to pilots who wish to use FSFK, I've already posted PIREP instructions I think, and will post the Live ACARS instructions very soon after I make some minor adjustments to the Live ACARS function tomorrow.

I'm also fond of FSPassengers and will be adding some of those features to SPA as time permits.
