I agree, real time weather XML feeds would be hard to implement and probably make the code a ton messier!!! And besides that it would probably require a whole new code structure!

The reigons are probably a better idea.

One question I have is how your code reads the lat. and lon. to get distances from one airport to another?

anyways about the addslashes() function: be sure you use it on every variable a user defines. So like if you had a search function, use it. Same goes for login fields, and even all variables that are strings that you are getting using $_GET[] instead of $_POST[]. If the variable you are 'GETing is always a integer, besure to do something like this:

$number = (int) $_GET['id']

Hope this helps, eventhough you didnt ask for any!



Project looks like it is coming along good!

I am using the Great Circle Formula to calculate the distance (Thanks to Timsher for recommending it!!) which can be found (freely) using this script:
http://www.imaginerc...ftware/GeoCalc/ It works VERY good given a precise enough lat/long. I tested it by doing the distance from KCVG to KLAX, and it was only off by something like 17 miles from the real distance.

Thanks for the link, I bookmarked it, never know when you'll need it later! Help and suggestions are always welcome!

Wow sweet GeoCalc thing! I think i am gonna have to give it a try!!!

EDIT: I've even just modded the source code a bit to be more accurate. I added more digits to pi in the formula. :-D

Fox, this looks incredible so far. Although I was bummed because someone beat me to submitting KROC. I submitted KSYR, Syracuse, for you.

How is the game progressing?

How do i change the long and latitude from decimal to the required method plse?

Cheers

Ignore the last, submitted EGNT anyways

Ok,

I should mention that the airport submissions are kind of back logged. Keep submitting them, they'll be in the game. You just won't get an email a while.

Any progress on the game, when will it be released?

[Eric]

Currently, we're working with a Flash Programmer for the route map. We hope to have a final release of the game, (or at least a beta) by the end of this year at the latest.

But don't worry, while we're waiting on the map, we have a chance to get some things done on our list, the new image uploader being one of them, and a few others.

Any updates? Are you still making it?

[Dredd]

Could you not download the METARS and TAFS from the met office or some such place? Then it would be just a question of decoding the tafs/metars?

[Baldwyn]

Looks very good indeed,

Can't wait to try it out

Nice idea !

[Phenyx ClanClan]

just read the thread now...........

That is a GREAT idea.............

cant wait to get the internet at my house!
