FSUIPC and PMDG 737 ACARS

[Fly737NG]

Hi Folks,

I am thinking about to register the FSUIPC for upgrading my PMDG Licence to a full licence.

My Question. I am running a virtual airline, but I want to cut down my fleet to the 737NG. I´d like to know if there is a possibility to read out the ACARS information and send it directly to my cgi based database for the pilots rooster. No filling of pilot reports anymore (this is obsolete these days I think).

The pilot makes his flight and the off and on times are recorded directly from ACARS. Is this possibile with the FSUIPC ? If yes, how ?

Thanks for answers,

Robert

I don't know what data the ACARS is using. You can see what is available from FSUIPC in the Programmer's Guide, part of the FSUIPC SDK on http://www.schiratti.com/dowson. Programs like FS FlightKeeper do manage to keep quite a detailed log through this information, I suspect it is more than enough for your needs.

Regards,

As far I know there isn't any SDK available from PMDG that will allow you that. Of course you can make (or use) a program that produces the acars messages.

Thank you very much for the swift answers! I found the offsets I needed in the SDK documentation and I guess I have an idea how to code what I need.
