[BUG] - Aircraft Type, Registration and ICAO are not shown on the live map

[PilotFlying99]

Describe the bug

Good day,

since one of the recents updates oour live map does not show the aircraft registration and ICAO anymore. We did not make any code changes, just updated from API version 0.3.5 to version 0.3.7.

We followed the suggested changes from invernyx/smartcars-3-bugs#184 to make it work in the past.

Suddenly, this stopped working. Any ideas why?

How do you reproduce this bug?

1. Navigate to the livemap of phpVMS 5

Expected behavior

The aircraft type, registration and ICAO is not being exported to the hphVMS anymore.

I have a similar issue at one of my VAs too! When the pilot has MORE than 1 bid, SC3 fetches the aircraft information from the first bid, despite the flight in the first bid already being complete. I have temporarily curbed this by disabling pilots to have multiple bids, but that's not a permanent solution.

We're on API Version 0.3.7 (phpvms5)

Hey all (@EpicHax7 @ifly-leonard @PilotFlying99). I've update the API on the development branch to 0.3.8 which has hopefully restored this. Let me know whether this resolves it for you!

@GenericNerd Thank you very much! We moved a step ahead.

However, there is still one issue: the aircraft which is now shown, is the scheduled aircraft, not the actual chosen aircraft inside the smartCARS 3 client.

The issue also consists when viewing the PIREP via the admin panel. It shows the scheduled aircraft, not the actual chosen one via the smartCARS 3 client.

Update: I fixed the issue myself.

You need to change line 32 in /0.3.8/handlers/phpvms5/flights/update.php from:

'aircraft' => $flightDetails['aircraft'], to 'aircraft' => $_POST['aircraft'],

Additionally, you need to change line 61 in /0.3.8/handlers/phpvms5/flights/complete.php from:

'aircraft' => $route['aircraft'], to 'aircraft' => $_POST['aircraft'],

I’ll reopen this issue as there is a documented fix that I’ll implement in this version

[GenericNerd]

Can you all try the 0.3.9 branch and let me know if that solution works for you?

This issue is now stale. If this is still happening, please open up a new issue and refer to this issue.
