KVS Master Thread

[KVS]

Hi KVS, I've been trying to update my kvs tool for a while now unsuccessfully would you have any clue why it won't update after I download it?

Could you please provide a bit more detail?

[KVS]

Is there any way to search on KVS for flights by aircraft? (IE A380)

No, but you can sort results by Aircraft Type by clicking on the [A/C] Column.

Could you please provide a bit more detail?

I downloaded the new version several times and it  said that it has been updated, but it wasn't. I recently tries once more and it worked, so I
m not really sure what has happened.

You would need to search segment-by-segment or use the [Awards/AC-StarAlliance] Method:

The question begs itself.. Y?

nothing to do with KVS, you have to familiarize yourself with the websites KVS pulls the data

Are they pulling from UA or ANA? Because UA was showing.

Bro I think a hocker can figure this out.

There can be thousands of potential connection options, so each Engine has its own logic for building connections.

Hi,

Is there a windows emulator for iPad that works with KVS?

Something tells me that not, as military grade security is child play next to registration on kvs...

Please prove me wrong.

This is THE biggest headache I have with KVS.

The mobile alternative is NOT an alternative.

[PlatinumGuy]

Onlive desktop should work.

Onlive desktop should work.

Which plan?

+1
It is a bit excessive, and counter productive

[chff]

What about for Android?

[Bp]

I use team viewer on my ipad to use Kvs, although it would by nice if we can get a good working mobile platform.

The main KVS Tool application requires a proper desktop/laptop/netbook to run on (whether it's a PC or Mac).

OnLive Desktop Pro should work, subject to any restrictions they may impose.

What about for Android?

There is a KVS Tool Mobile Companion App for Android:
http://www.KVSTool.com/Mobile-Companion-Info.php

[SuperFlyer]

Wasted time installing the, Android app.
It's exactly the same (= useless) as the online version.
All is made to be user-unfriendly.

As Chaikel pointed out. You would have many more customers if your program was build and function the normal way.

[chff]

And I would like for Android a full ver. Not the one that I have now

As mentioned previously, the full-featured KVS Tool application requires a full-featured desktop/laptop/netbook to run on (which can be either a PC or a Mac). A tablet/mobile device is not sufficient.

The KVS Tool Mobile Companion can be used on any device and supports most of the commonly-used 'on-the-go' functions, including Availability, Timetables, Seat Maps and Flight Info. However, it is not intended to replace the main KVS Tool application.
