Hey!

Well, I have been wondering this for awhile, and I don't know if this is possible. I have seen it done on multiplayer servers, but I am not sure about single.

Is their any time of program / addon that can take your information (location, speed, altitude, etc) and upload it to a webserver. Kind of what FSPassengers does for the VA, but have it automatic every minute or so?

For example, something that they do in real life aviation:

So I was just wondering? With Single player is their something out their that can do this?

I'm not real sure I understand what you want.  :-?  If it's single player, then why would it matter if you upload a single player status to a server, unless it's to validate or interact with a VA.  For this, I have seen 1 or 2 VAs in the past that had a basic Google Map interface that displayed their VA's flight info when airborne.  It was real basic and only had their ID, flight altitude, and maybe speed.  Then it was positioned over the area they were flying, so I'm not sure how accurate it was.  Only thing, it didn't update as far as I could tell without you refreshing the page, but it was a very simple system.

I imagine with so many VAs that a couple or more do have something similar, but nothing near as fancy.  Problem with VAs is the number of them.  Way too many VAs considering the amount of people who actually have time to fly.  You have as many as 2 VAs with the same carrier (2 Southwest, 2 Delta, and so on).  Plus you have completely made up VAs that focus on various types of flying.  Oh well, I'm getting off topic, but that's the only reason you'd have that kind of info online.  If a program existed whereby all who just played single player could load an app and report flight data to a server, not very many would be interested.  Why install software on the computer for no real reason??

You might be able to use ACARS [AIRCRAFT COMUNATION AND REPORTING SYSTEM] for this purpose. I think you can find a program at www.avsim.com you will have to search for it though. I am not sure if you can find it as a stand alone program. I have seen some payware aircraft that come with it.  I found this site. If you google ACARS you can find others. 8-)
