I am addressing this message to Robby Christe, the assistant chief pilot of the 767. Robby, I've been trying to contact you via e-mail so many times, but didn't get any answer. So, I guess my message will be noticed here in the Water cooler. I am DVA5153, Taras Eremenko and I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.11 and X-plane 8.60. I have XACARS and I've twice completed my 767 check ride. I've been trying to get the approval for a whole month, but I still don't have it. I will even include the KATL-EGKK flight plan here, in this message: KATL UGAAA GLOVR LIB SAMMB FOZZY ZITTO HPW HUBBS PXT GARED CLASY RIDGY CANNY PALMM ENO BESSI EDJER DAVYS BRAND RBV JFK PUT TOPPS STEAM DOTTY CRONO 52/50 54/40 53/30 53/20 MALOT BURAK ODLUM DEXET DEVOL BAKUR GISOK MERLY DIDEL GIBSO EGKK

I don't know what's going on, but I guess that I should have started my VA career with an airline that is based on Mac and X-plane. As I understand, here all the people have MSFS or something like that and use Windows. Maybe I'm being ignored because of that, but that's just my premonition. Nevertheless, I love Delta VA - it's a good community and I like flying big jets and will try to get on bigger ones once I'm able to do that.

I hope that Robby will notice this message and answer me whichever way it's possible for him. Again, I like Delta VA and would like to stay with it no matter what OS I have. :-)

Taras, the difficulty we have is that I need to write some support for XACARS into our web application; I am still committed to do this by the end of the year.

Do you have XACARS? Would you help me in this?

Cheers!

Hello, Luke. I do have acars which I downloaded from xacars.net I can help you with something like organizing the thing. Why don't you name the stuff you have to complete?

What I'm going to need is for you to fly a simple flight using XACARS, and I'll give you some URLs to post the data to. Once I see the output it produces, I can easily and quickly create something to let you log flights using it.

Cheers!

Roger, Luke. I will fly a route and I'm waiting for the URLs. Happy to cooperate.
