Yes that was a screenshots from VATSPY. There are many programs which use pireps and live acars ( I think you are refering to this). One of this is freeware http://www.integratedpirepsystem.com/ and another is payware fskeeper ( I use this in my flights). Here there is an option to send Pireps to the web page, live ACARS and much more options for the virtual airlines. I know only these two, probably there are much more. I donĀ“t know if our black box can send live acars.

Yes, I use Servinfo myself... but I'm trying to think of a way to automatically filter out only AAVers from everyone else... What distinguishes us (or could distinguish) from others that I can pull down and parse via PHP?
VATSIM ID's Every pilot who has one is supposed to have it in their profile on our site. ;) If you do it this way only pilots flying on VATSIM will display. If you use the AAV number you may be able to pull the data from FSACARS and show everyone who is using FSACARS whether they are flying online or not. It would require a minor reconfiguration of the fsacars.ini file on the client side. Their site has instructions on how to do it.

Wayne,

If you run FSACARS while flying it continuously logs data about your flight. At the end of the flight you can send the log to our AAV site and it will file your FREP and store the other data. You can also configure FSACARS to send periodic position reports to a web application.

My vision is that we would have a map and a table on our home page that shows all pilots currently flying on VATSIM and with FSACARS. I wouldn't always have an application pulling data from VATSIM and FSACARS, rather I would build it into the homepage PHP so that the data is pulled only when the home page is served to a web client.

In order to distinguish our VATSIM pilots from all the other online pilots the php would need to compare the VATSIM ID of the pilots and/or the name of the pilot to our database.
