Hi, I just signed up to CVA and can't get any of these CARS applications working.
Where are these files you say to download? Planes.text?

All you need is CVAcars application from the utilities section. Once you have that installed, run the application as administrator and click on the word Info and select settings. Type in your callsign and password for the site and see if it connects. Get that far and I will be home soon and at a computer to help further.

Hi Welcome,

XACARS : For xplane

If you have xplane then we need to focus on XACARS.

Otherwise go to your download section of your Pilot Center in the CVA web site. Download and install the program as administrator, Also install FSUIPC get it here. http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html the pay ware and free version is the same download. Only diff is you do not register it when installing.

Start FS program at you departure airport and gate. Then start and run CVACARS (as administrator). The first time you run the program you will nee to click "Info" button. There fill in the pilot ID and your password (same as web). Click Save then you can connect to the web site. Then connect to flight sim. Right now Chuck is working to get the schedule page to work. Use the web site to bid on flight. After bid you can get flight info and start CVACARS.

Start with this and let me know where you may have problems.

The schedule page from within the app has been fixed as well as the error on start up of the app.

I have removed the link for FSAcars since we are no longer supporting it. I have also added a note that no config files are needed for CVAcars.

With the new site, I will be creating a new tutorial for flight bidding and filing of pireps shortly.
