"Hi to all who always wanted to have a look behind the scenes of our dispatch and flight procedures <!--emo&^_^-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> : <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>
1. Flight Dispatcher</span> The dispatcher gets his route and weather informations from official websites (for example NOAA for METARs). The Dispatcher
- stores all your flight data in a database for later use. </li>
- provides you with a printable version (as web page or if requested as PDF file). </li>
- generates a listing of waypoints in decimal converted format (Appendix A) for INS usage</li>
- supplies a FS9 compatible flightplan</li>
- stores all flight relevant data for later FSACARS (client) use.</li>
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>
2. Flight Analyzer </span> The Flight Analyzer
- collects data which is sent by FSACARS</li>
- combines data on a per pilot, per route basis and calculates tracks and profiles</li>
- displays flight-/track information on a webpage</li>
Attention: The date and time values are local to the server where data is stored (PST). They do
not correspond to your scheduled flight dates! <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>
3. PIREPs </span> are stored independent of the above described features in a seperate databse. The transmission is done either by clicking
Send Log after a finished flight or by sending the logfile via E-Mail (as a fallback) If you want you can download the <a href='
