Gauging Interest in a VATSIM Module for Websites (starting with phpVMS v7)

Hey all,

While work continues on our new VA website and auditing system, I am currently looking at the possibility of creating a brand new phpVMS Module, supported by the VATSIM VA Department, that’ll:

  • Allow for you to use VATSIM as an ACARS source (similar to how Integrated PIREPs System (IPS) worked)
  • Create a GUI and API Endpoint to pull flights logged by the module that have flown on the network so audit managers can verify activity.

I am aware of Disposable Hero and his line of plugins, which can do something similar (except the exporting part).

At the end of the day, do you all think there’s a need or desire for “Officially Supported” module from VATSIM for phpVMS, or any other system? Or, would you rather use hombrew solutions for this?
