SMF SSI.php Functions
Current Version: 2.0 RC3
This file is used to demonstrate the capabilities of SSI.php using PHP include functions. The examples show the include tag, then the results of it.
Include Code
To use SSI.php in your page add at the very top of your page before the <html> tag on line 1 of your php file:
<?php require("SSI.php"); ?>
Some notes on usage
All the functions have an output method parameter. This can either be "echo" (the default) or "array"
If it is "echo", the function will act normally - otherwise, it will return an array containing information about the requested task. For example, it might return a list of topics for ssi_recentTopics.
This functionality can be used to allow you to present the information in any way you wish.

Code (advanced mode)

Forum look and features
Friendly neighbourhood admin Asad here. I'm making changes to the forum's look and feel, to align it more with our main site.
If you'd like to comment on the changes or report any problems, this is the place to do it.
Cheers!
Author of Starship Diaries, Dallas Kachan wrote me regarding our Project!
A while ago when we started this project, I wrote Dallas Kachan of "The Starship Diaries" for permission to be able to compile the flight plans listed in his novel for our project. Of course, one of the liveries as well had to match the Starship in the novel for use with those flight plans, 401AS.
Mr. Kachan wrote me last night saying how thrilled he was when he saw that we immortalized his N401AS as in the Starship Diaries, and can't wait to fly the finished product as well.
I of course have been proud of our project from the very beginning, but it's times like this that really make me thrilled to see that all our hard work is being noticed!
If you are registered for Flightsim.com, another Flightsim Site that I visit frequently, you can download a PREVIEW of his book in this download package: http://www.flightsim.com/kdl.php?fid=75530 note you must register for a free account before downloading there....
If you haven't read the Starship Diaries, the site for the book is below:
http://www.starshipdiaries.com
It is a fantastically written novel, and anyone who is a Starship fan will surely enjoy it. It's wonderfully written about the adventures and travels he participates in flying Starship N401AS, and any aviation as well as non-aviation enthusiast will really enjoy it.
Again, great job on everyone's part, and I look forward to seeing this project released, as I'm sure everyone else does.
Go Team!
Model is complete - Avionics, Sound, and Flight Dynamics Remaining
I'm pleased to announce our modeling stage is complete. We have taken delivery of our model and John Evans is starting the master mind work shortly of animating, dropping in avionics, and building accurate Flight Dynamics for her.
We DON'T think you'll be disappointed with the outcome.
I'd like to thank everyone in the community for showing interest in our project, and we're sure with your help it will be a huge success!
Welcome!
Here you can find answers to all your questions and problems with any of our products. Please feel free to also submit suggestions or bug reports in the appropriate forums.
Please keep discussion on topic and limited to Archangel Productions: these are not general discussion forums, as there are plenty of excellent general simulation websites around like Flightsim.com and AVSIM for general discussion.
Other than that, please enjoy!
