ATAVS 7.2 Relased

Effective March 31, 2009 ATAVS V7.2R3 will be the official reporting system in use at AeroTexas and flight reports with previous versions will not be accepted. All members should download this version from the Members Only area of the website before their next flight. This new version of ATAVS supports the new website and logs landing performance and meteorological conditions on arrival, includes a fuel loader, descent planner, and as always is stable and very easy to use.

New forum

A new forum has been set up in the Members Only area of the website. This is a screenshot of the forum menu.

New ACARS Map

Firefox users can now view a live ACARS map that displays a live view of the current position of AeroTexas aircraft. Flights are depicted with standard ARTCC symbology that reflects the pilot, altitude and speed. Altitude is in 100's of feet, and speed is in knots. Mouse over a target to get more information about the flight, including originating airport, destination, distance to go, and estimated time of arrival. This new feature can only be viewed with Firefox, and for Members Only.

Updates

Hi folks - 95% of the public area of the website is now complete. There is still some work to be done in the members only area, but I'd say 75% of that is complete now. As a member you can now login and see every entry in your logbook (something you couldn't do with the old website). Members are presented with a summary of their log on their home page - total flights, miles, etc. Planning to release a new version of ATAVS in a few weeks too that will more fully support the new website.
