FS Acars

Good morning Gentlemen,

Is it me or there really is a problem with sending pireps by Fsacars? Anyone noticed? For some days now (5 actually) I can't post pireps and the message in log says there is some problem with connection to vatsim server to get Metar. Another thing is, there is some about vatsim server on the main page of our VA too (right column, where usually Vatsim icon is).
Could any of you Guys check it and tell me how it works for you, before I'll start messing up with my system?
Much obliged,
Andrzej

Nice to have you on my side, Yoland
As far as I can understand what's going on with this - I think the Vatsim server we are all using is down, and that causes all the problems. The same I had trying to check Vatsim with Servinfo - it failed on the first attempt, and went further only with different IP addresses. So maybe changing one IP address in PHP script would do the job?
In that case I'll just keep waiting for solution.
Thanks in advance Naresh

PS. Just 've found an answer: status.vatsim.net/status.txt

Roger that gents. I will take a look at it soon.

Ok gents, the SPA home page with VATSIM status has been updated and is working as expected.

I have fixed the URL in the FSACARS as well but I am not able to test it.

Please kindly update here with your result.

Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
Naresh

Works exactly as expected - perfect!
Thank you very much.
Fly high!
Andrzej
