Differences between smartCARS 3 and VaBase Acars

smartCARS 3 and our previous Acars application from VaBase are similar, but there are some significant difference that we'd like to point out here:

smartCARS 3 has these additional features:

• full searchable access to all of our schedules directly inside the application
  
• ability to bid on/dispatch multiple flights
• a logbook that displays your entire flight history with Canada Air Virtual
• integrated flight planning with Simbrief
• import of a Simbrief generated flight
• viewing of a Simbrief OFP inside the application
• proper handling of simulator pause state
• automatic pirep submission on engine shutdown (optional), so you no longer have to worry about forgetting to submit your pirep
• instant approval of pirep if all parameters of flight are within acceptable values

smartCARS 3 does not have these features that you may have been used to:

• no performance metrics
  • this means there no longer is a performance score awarded after the flight

Note that smartCARS 3 is under active development, and we expect new features to be added over time as TFDi Design continue to improve the application. 

Canada Air Virtual is not able to make any changes inside smartCARS 3 itself. We can only control what we do with the data that is sent to and received from smartCARS 3.
