Starline Airways opening its doors to the public Today the 28th of December a new era of virtual airline simulation is launched, after nearly half a year of development. The original idea of Starline is that flying for virtual airlines should not be complicated with software to install and configure, rules for how much a pilot needs to fly to avoid being removed et.c, but still highly realistic. Instead of ACARS-software all our flights is tracked live from VATSIM/IVAO, all the pilot has to do is to connect with the correct callsign for the booked flight. We encourage our pilots to fly whenever they have the time and desire for it, and a pilot will never be removed due to inactivity. With our professional custom made and user-friendly web page comes except a booking system, forum, advanced user statistic and downloadable aircraft liverys for PMDG737NGX, PMDG777 and Aerosoft Airbus X A321, also an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). The Electronic Flight Bag includes: ¤ Flight breifing overview ¤ Flight progress indication ¤ Charts for all our destination ¤ Weather ¤ Notams ¤ Fuel calculations ¤ Digital checklists The EFB will automatically load the flight you're connected to on VATSIM or IVAO, and make recommendations for charts and runways in use. With our optional software StarRoute, the programming of the FMC will also be alot smoother as you can simply just load the flightplan into the FMC, without having to type each waypoint in yourself. StarRoute will automatically download co-routes for your booked flights and place them in the correct folder for each addon. The only thing except Flight Simulator or Prepar3D is an valid VATSIM or IVAO ID. Welcome to Starline. www.starlineairways.com

Hi everyone, I have been thinking a lot recently about creating an eFPL using either Adobe's solution of fillable documents, or some other programs to create a template of some kind that could then be applied on a single type of flight plan format to calculate things as: fuel over waypoint based on the entered block fuel, times and such things. However I hit a rock right in the beginning of this great idea. I don't see how on earth I could even create a template that would fit an ever-changing environment where the numbers and waypoints and times and fuel values are all variable and based on that calculate anything. So this is how I ended up writing here on Avsim to see whether there are any people here with great ideas on what program that can be used to create a template that would look for certain things and based on that calculate anything. I think you got my point of what I am trying to achieve. As I am working as a Cabin Crew I have got my best best friend as an FO and he has shown me many times his electronic flight plan and how things work on it. Obviously I won't be able to achieve such a solution as that's on an iPad and I (while have learned programming back in High School - very basic stuff) won't be able to achieve that kind of automation in calculations. So if anyone's got any idea, whatever it be like please feel free to comment as I am very curious about it, and obviously I have a huge amount of time to kill these days as I am temporarily laid off for months. Thanks
