  1. @urs
    Many thanks for the implementation! Unfortunately I can not help with the tests because I have not yet got p3dv6 ! 
    Since many (for me important) other add-ons are not really compatible yet, I will unfortunately have to wait a bit, because with the best will in the world I can't do anything with a  'vanilla' p3d ;-)

    best regards

  2. Hello,

     

    Unfortunately I have a display problem with the Airport KGTS from FSDG !

    The runway 10/28 in LGTS (FSDG) is unfortunately not shown in EFB2 - but it is definitely present in the simulator - see LNM screenshot !

    Do you have any idea what could be the reason for this!

  3. I've been using EFB2 (and before that EFB1) for quite some time now and am extremely happy about this purchase!
    A little thing has been bothering me for some time now:

    Every time I open EFB via SimstarterNG I get the following (error) message:

     

    image.png.32535fd30b5cbfc36cc3649c3048dc0f.png

     

    Since I activate or deactivate certain sceneries with each start, it is quite logical that the configuration changes ;-)
    Is there any way to disable this hint window ?
    To click on the button 'NO' manually at every start is quite annoying...

     I would like to start the DbBuilder on my own only if I think it is necessary !

     

    Thanks in advance

  4. So, for everyone who cares, i have found (for myself) a solution to the problem:

    1. Right-click the prepar3d.exe
    2. In the context menu, select Properties.
    3. Go to the Compatibility tab.
    4. Enable the option Disable fullscreen optimizations.

    That worked great for me - no more flickering!!! :-)

  5. Thanks for the answer !
    Normally I use efb2 on my 2nd screen. I have tried everything to that end...
    I only notice this strange behavior since the last (or second last) update !? - a constantly flickering black bar in the middle of the screen 
    unfortunately a complete showstopper :-(

    Any idea ? Change any setting ?

     

  6. Ray, I have been using several flight simulators for several decades now :-)
    I admire your professional statements in many relevant simmer groups, but believe me, in this case your answer (or instruction ;-)) unfortunately has nothing to do with my problem!
    Believe me: I know the difference between RL and simulation ;-)

     

    Alright, I accept that I have to live with this map-display problem (without using ADE).....

     

    Thank you all very much for the many more or less successful explanations ;-)

    greetings

    BTW, EFBv2 is really a great piece of software - and thank you very much for the great support !!

    :-)

    The data in P3D is real world but fixed at a certain date. Over time the position of the Earth’s magnetic pole moves slightly. Over time this change results in runway headings being incorrect.

     

    Let’s assume this heading was never changed in the 70 years since London Heathrow was constructed. The runway would be identified in the 50s probably as 11/29. By 1987 they had become 09/27.

     

    If those runway headings had not changed the runway ID would read 29R but your compass would be reading 273. Do you think that would be realistic and safe? Or would it confuse pilots?

     

    All runways around the world have to have their runway designator changed. If you want your sim to be frozen in time then fine. But you can’t fly any aircraft that rely on correct navigation data. So no PMDG aircraft. You’ll be fine flying VFR though. ?

    Ray, 

  8. In this case, unfortunately, this is a huge step backwards :-(

    In the Simulator world, The 'real world' is the SIM-WORLD not the AIRAC-WORLD !

    And if the sim don't have the correct (airac world) scenery-datas I want the map to read the FS data to show me...

     

    In this case I have to compare to EFB1 - That works like all other maps and addons too...

  9. Urs, 

    thank you for the answer !

    'correct' identifiers are 04L 04R  22L 22R. The term 'correct' in this regard means 'according to real world'.

     

    Yes, I know that all - that  'real world' and AIRAC infos are  04L 04R  22L 22R !

    Nevertheless I want that my intern EFB MAPS shows me the the same Infos that my P3D has  (05L,..22L,..)!!!

    Simple Question again:

    In EFB1 it was possible to remap the runways manually via Runways.txt - to show me 05L,..22L,..(the reality of my simulation  regardless of the 'real' airac data ?

    Is this also possible in EFB2 or not ?

    If it is possible, please tell me how !

    PS : and if you'll change on your map then Check the Database Manual, chapter 2.5

    thanks for the next meaningless answer...

    'Real life' airways are 04,23,.. I never denied that that was right - but it's not my current problem...

    because the DatabaseBuilder has corrected the Runway Layount according to the ARINC file

    But why is at the same time the AIRPORT-MAP in EFB2 showing 04 and 22 ??

    That's the thing I don't understand ! should not DatabaseBuilder  and MAP show the same results ?

     

    greetings

    04 and 22 are correct ans as per the charts and EFB.  What ATC program shows 05 and 23?

    Sorry, who says correct ?

    All programs, as I explained earlier, show the same runways (05L 05R 23L 23R) inkl. P3D !! (...nothing to do with ATC...)

    Even the Database-Builder shows 05L 05R 23L 23R....!?

    But not the GROUND MAP - there are the runway descriptions 04L,04R,22L,22R !!??

    Within the same program, two different contents are recorded....

    that's weird...

  12. Hello to all,

     

    In efb2 the runway description (EBLG)  is shown as:

    04L

    04R

    22L

    22R

     

    But all other Addons (inkl.P3dv4 and ATC-Programs,....) recognize those runways correctly as:

    05L

    05R

    23L

    23R

     

    How can I correct this error ?

    In EFB1 there is a text file (Runways.txt) where I can correct such things !

    Is there a similar possibility in EFB2 ? Didn't find anything so far....

     

    thanks in advance
