Did you run the installer with 'right-mouse-click', then 'Run as administrator'? And also make sure not to run any instance of EFB Client and/or Server.
yes to both

Ben,
did you update Client and Server to the latest version?
Can you describe how you import the plan from SimBrief? Are you using the downloader, or the built in function in EFB Client?
All are the latest version. (Version 2.3 Build #133)
Simbrief downloader program as I have always doen which then imports it into the aivlasoft efb. The .efbr file is locate in the create file plan and routing etc is fine. It is just that the call sign is not updated to reflect the new one in the plan. It defaults back to the one previously used in the last flight. Hence, we have to manually change it to the new one.

Just thought I would jump on this post rather than starting another. I am finding that when we import a flight plan from simbrief into EFBV2 it keeps the old (previous flight) flight number in the create flight template box in aivlasoft. I have to manually re-enter the correct call sign into the efb callsign box. I'm not sure if this is the same problem you had above (apologise if not). I didn't have this issue till I installed it on a new PC and did an update.
Anyone?

Just adding my two cents as not working in P3D. Cheers.

Ah bingo! I was importing it in from the saved flight plans not the way above as you have described. Just did it your way and now working. Appreciate the help and good way to finish off 2020. Cheers for the help and happy NY!

Hi Ben,
thank you for these screenshots. I did a couple of test flights this morning, created the flight plans in SimBrief and as an alternative one flight plan manually in EFB.
Unfortunately I could not reproduce it that my aircraft was indicated as red snapshot traffic and also not as a TCAS target. However, on a second installation of EFB (not connected with the simulator) I could see my aircraft as a red snapshot traffic item.
My guess is that the callsign was either not properly entered in SimBrief or it was a typo in the callsign which prevented EFB from detecting your own aircraft in the snapshot traffic. Can you please check the following items when doing your next flight:
- SimBrief: ATC Callsign entered, see screenshot below. Callsign not to be mistaken for Flight-No.
- EFB Sidebar: Check whether your callsign is displayed on the EFB sidebar in the routing panel
Sorry for late reply.
I have added the ATC call sign as requested as per pic and still get the issue sorry to say. Not sure exactly were to find the call sign in routing panel so have included the whole screenshot of EFB.

When it happens the next time
- could you please create a set of support files, one from the Server, one from the Client and upload them here? Alternatively you also may send them to support@aivlasoft.com.
- Let me know your call sign and how did you create the flight plan (manually in EFB, or externally in SimBrief, or PFPX, or other source).
thank you!
FD480 - Created in Simbrief and then imported in.

Yes it does have the call sign and shows in the efb map. Did 3 flights today. Still shows two aircraft and gives traffic alerts with the grey circle.

Ben,
please see the manual "5 EN Client.pdf" chapter 13.3.
Thanks. This does not occur on the ground though.... The green box only shows once in the air. Having that option on the ground will also assist?
Also any update on the duplicate planes? I'm guessing it wasn't in the update?

Did you try to push the button "ATC" from the soft-buttons on the map?
Can you please advise were that button is? Also I note the new update and have installed it. I'm guessing the above issue fix wasn't included in this update as it is still continuing.
-
Good to see this issue isn't just me. Came on here to report the same issue re the secondary aircraft (mine but delayed so EFB was thinking it was a second aircraft). Be nice to get it fixed. The radio ribbon is definitely a great step forward and glad it was reintroduced (even after you said no initially). Well done for listening to your customers. It does tend to dissapear on the odd occasion though and not sure how to get it back?

Does Aivlasoft EFB V2 show the extended frequencies in the radio panel? VATPAC uses extended freq's quite alot and sometimes get caught out. V1 only shows unicom once you pass the initial frequency area however when extended you don't know its still active. Just wondering if V2 fixes this?
Australian positions for example say ML_CENTRE operates in a certain area as shown in EFB. They can extend this area to other areas such as Adelaide etc which is usually operated by another sector. On the V1 map it will show the intital ML_CENTRE on the frequency table but once you fly out of that initial area it only shows unicom so you think to revert to 122.8 however its not the case.

Difference between supported and not available for purchase. Dissapointed that it cant even be available for purchase and not sure why it cant be and just not have any updates. I'll let my mate know and he can find something else.
-
No replies so im guessing not?

Hi, friend would like to buy v1 of EFB. He prefers that format after the trial. Is this possible please, if so how do we go about purchasing that version. He doesn't want v2.
Thanks in advance.

If you don't like V2, why not just use V1? This get's really old.....
Maybe because v1 is no longer supported and will no doubt be outphased!

Ben,
while I keep out of this discussion as everything concerning Online Flying is outside my area of interest and is well handled by Urs an Jonas, I would ike to point to two things that I do not like on your post at all:
- mentioning EFB v2 as being "in a early development" is a bit far off and is in fact not even worth being commented, were it not close to an insult to all concerned in developing EFB v2
- your comment on "the same comment keeps getting brought up by different people" is of course a valid point from your view. However you should also allow the developer to have his own view on the importance of such comments and proposals. AivlaSoft does in no way ingore those, but you should also be aware of the fact that "a few" or "different people" does not conclude a statement of importance. Given the fact that the number of those "complaints" are far, far, far - and again - far below the 1% mark compared to the number of licensed installations, you will certainly agree that the delevoper is allowed to draw his own conclusions on that fact.
Nevertheless - as also Jonas stated above, it is not the intention of AivlaSoft to simply ignore any proposals, but going back to a previous system is just not an option. This kind of decision should - that's at least my opinion - still lie within the developers authority...
Lonewulf47 think you read my post wrong in regards to early development. Read it again it was talking about v1 which IS an earlier development of the program.

We would love to have confirmed numbers about the percentage of online pilots using EFB. Unfortunately we haven't. And looking at online numbers of VATSIM doesn't give any hint about the number of people not using VATSIM, could be few, can be many. If you have statistics available, let us know.
And believe me, as an online pilot on VATSIM myself, I'm the last one to put a stone in the way for an improvement of the online functionalities. But I'm not just fixed on "bring the old solution back", but to share the needs to be fulfilled and stay open for any possible solution satisfying these needs. As I alread said earlier:
This spirit, to look always for even better solutions, is one of the key factors for the success of EFB. If Urs would always be satisfied with the first solution he designs, you wouldn't have all the advanced features of EFB2 you currently have. And he keeps working on it ...
Agree with what your saying, unfortunately the way the developer ended his last post then closed it doesn't hold us much hope. I think when the same themed post keeps getting brought up by different people you need to change your opinion as a developer. After all if customers are asking to bring back an option in a early development isn't that a good thing? Means you got it right the first time and we like the product for what it had and build on it. Having numerous windows isn't obviously cutting it as you can see in all the same posts. Im an avid fan of EFB, hell even put many friends onto it, but V2 just doesnt do it for me and obviously others. All my opinion of course and accept that but after a while when you see the same thing come up hopefully something shifts.

That's a very disappointing statement because Aivlasoft has dropped support for v1 and it's only a matter of time Lockheed makes an update that renders EFB v1 useless.
Sounds like the window is open for other developers to fill the space EFB v1 used to fill. Urs and v2 appear to be off in a different direction that eliminates the key features that made EFB stand out from Navigraph, Jeppessen, littlenavmap and all the other moving-map projects out there.
At least it's clear and I can stop checking back every few weeks to see if there's been a change of heart.Agree mate. I stopped coming back until now when I saw your post in a face book post. I recall the previous topic stated that online users are a low %...incorrect. Just need to look at vatsim etc online numbers to see that it is a incorrect statement. This isn't the first time this issue re atc has come up for the new version either. I do recall I posted similar and a few others. If nothing is going to be looked at then users go elsewhere.

wow big loss again for V2 thanks for the reply.
-
I may be missing the obvious but is there a "time to destination" area in V2 please? Cant seem to find it.
