The VAPN Pirep system is an automated pirep filing system that automatically starts when your flight starts.  While in flight it keeps track of all information needed.  At the end of your flight, a window pops up and all you do is enter the departure airport, arrival airport, number of passenger and amount of cargo, click submit and all information is automatically recorded on the roster page.  Click here to download this program. 

Important note:  You must have FSUIPC (3.4 or later) installed into your modules folder of FS2004

to be able to run the VAPN utility properly.  Run you FS2004, open the modules menu and

  check if you have it.  If not, you can download it free from this link:
