While not sure exactly what the ACARS collects, it seems to me that all that Vataware collects at the end is what your filed speeds and altitude was, and what the time is between Takeoff and Landing, whereas ACRAS collects and saves data throughout the flight, as well as what AP is used, landing speed, weight info...ect. So it would seems that the data that is collected...and used for checkrides ect... is far greater than what Vataware is capable of, since it collects it directly from your flight instead of what is transmitted through FSInn/SB.
Also, when you say it error'd, did you check your logbook on the DVA site...the reason I ask is that I sometimes get an error message when I file my Pireps, but then they show up on my logbook, usually after ACARS server times out is when I have this happen...so really no bigey.

yepp, like I said, after the flight has landed it only shows the filed Alt and SPD, time en-route, route filed, ect...and contains no info regarding landing stats, weights, actual speed on T/O Landing, altitudes flown...ect. compare these two http://www.vataware.com/flight.cfm?id=2720320 and http://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x56174 and you can see the difference in Data recorded...I think
