Hi After a recent FSX-SE re-install, my database finishes with O errors, but 1 warning. The warning points to a "FOLDER DOESN'T EXIST' Area Falcon X, required=False, active=True, layer=121, path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Aerosoft\Falcon X\scenery. I tried to follow the path, but there is no "Aerosoft\Falcon X\scenery". Screenshot: https://www.flickr.com/photos/141330124@N05/shares/13C46V Thanks for help Server_201809211229.txt.zip

Don't think I would enjoy to fly without it. Beautiful piece of software and a great visual help Thanks guys

Oskar, Sorry, asked to fast for help. Initiated self-help: reloaded the server and the database was created w/o error. Basically, I could not get any procedures at any airport. All is good again Thanks again for all the previous help

Hi Oskar, All is well in P3D, but not sso much in FSX-SE. I am receiving a Database error and have included the logfile. Thanks for help Server_201809171542.txt.zip

Oskar, Had major crash on my P3D drive (corrupted files)and needed to install the OS, P3D and everything else again. So I assigned a static IP (same for all them) to all the windows drives and tried EFB2. Connected successful to ALL the drives w/o a problem. So I am good to go again, thanks for your help

Oskar, I think I'll stay with the name for the time being. If it creates problems, I will go to IP address. Thanks for all your help

Oskar, I just changed the PC Name on my P3D drive to the same name as the FSX drive. Tested it and the Client connects just fine. What do you mean by entering the IP address for the client (where?). I do enter the IP address (or PC name) for the SERVER on the CLIENT. The IP address for the FSX drive and the P3D drive are different. That would necessitate me entering a different IP address for each of the drives/systems. Since the PC name seems to work, I will give this a shot first (no brainer). Again, thanks for help

Oskar, That worked. I entered the correctly spelled PC name and it connected right away. I just need to figure out something for the other drive, since the PC name is not the same. If necessary, I might have to install another Client (different folder) and call it EFB P3D and EFB FSX. Thanks for help

Oskar, the Client does NOT start up. All I get is the error and if I click ok, the error window closes, but the Client does NOT start!!!! So I can’t open the main system window. Thanks

Hi, I just tried to set the Server's PC name instead of IP address, but miss-typed the name. Now I can't get the Client to open any longer; I just get an error: Could not resolve IP address for computer . Please make sure....." I need to correct the spelling of the Server PC to check the connection? "Help", thanks

OK. I will try it and report back Thanks

Hi Oskar, I can't get at the system right now. But if it is a different IP address, can I use the computer-name instead of IP address? Thanks

Hi Lonewulf, You are correct, the same port number appears in the Client & Server. However, the IP address of the Server appears on the Client, but it does not connect to the server. My system: 2(two) SSD's with WIN10 loaded on each. One SSD runs FSX-SE the other SSD runs P3Dv4 and both use the same Server-PC . The FSX-SE setup runs fine, but when I boot to the P3D drive, the Client does not connect to the Server. What steps can I take to troubleshoot the problem? Thanks for help

Hi, I had to reload my OS and therefor also EFB2. I now have a problem connecting to the Client and searched my previous post. I checked the "serverSettings.txt" and CAN NOT find an entry for TcpIp Address in the network section. What I can see is a "TcpPortNumber = 51748" entry. This port number entry is also shown in the Server>Settings>System tab as "TCP Network - Port Number - 51748". As per previous post should be "ANY"? Thanks for help

Just tried it again w/o VATSIM selected, worked perfect. Thanks Jonas

Yes, I had VATSIM activated. So it kind of makes sense what you are saying. So if I don’t fly with VATSIM, unstick this option? i will disable VATSIM and see what stations I will get. Thanks for help

Hi, How does one get the radio panel to display the frequencies for a certain airport. I was flying from EKCH to LFPO and could not get any frequency changes for the airports; see screenshot: https://www.flickr.com/photos/141330124@N05/shares/2Z86xv Thanks for reply

Hi Urs, I use windows defender and had Aivlasoft EFB2 exempt from scans. By coincidence there is a new AIRAC cycle and I installed that. After that the database creation was successful w/o errors. All is good Thanks

Urs, It got me baffled as well, since as you stated the prior run did not produce any errors. I have nothing else running but the database builder. I attached another logfile after I tried it again just now -with absolute nothing else running (reboot PC and only start DB builder). The same error occurred -see attached- Thanks Server_201808191621.txt.zip

Hi, I was just noticing that my database builder finished with 1 error. This is in the FSX-SE version, error: "specified argument was out of range of valid values. ...... Should I be concerned about this? Thanks Server_201808191033.txt.zip

OK, understand. Any thoughts on the IP address issue OR should I drop it? Thanks

I think you asked me that before, but I asked a “computer geek” what the best way was to have several programs/simulators on one PC . He advised me NOT to use partitions due to inherent problems??? Also my FSX-SE drive is getting close to capacity, so I needed a new drive anyways and was not in.the mood to reinstall and rebuild FSX.That’s more or less why I have a dual boot system. I am not sure now if it was the correct way, but I wanted to avoid problems. So it is what it is and I can live with it. Any thoughts on entering the IP address? Thanks

To lonewulf47 BTW you are correct, the add-ons.cfg is located in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepard3Dv4.

Hi loewulf47, I guess a pure "dual boot" situation is having separate partitions on one drive with different operating systems. I have two drives with the each having it's own OS. That's what I meant by "quasi dual boot" system. Anyhow, I did not know, until your last post, that each OS drive has it's own IP address (makes sense). But as soon as I entered the correct IP address for the SERVER on the P3D drive, the CLIENT connected to the SERVER. So I now have a SERVER on the FSX-SE drive and the P3D drive and both are using the same CLIENT located on a separate PC. The only thing I need to do (manually) is enter the IP address for either the FSX-SE drive or the P3D drive. It's no big deal, but I was wondering if you know of a more elegant solution to accomplish the same (using the correct IP address dependent which drive I am using). If not, I certainly can live with as is. Thanks again for your help

Hi lonewulf47, I edited the test file -no problem and it worked. I started the client and entered the IP address of the server. Here is the problem: I am running P3Dv4 and FSX-SE in a quasi dual boot situation (actually I have one SSD for each simulator and running WIN10) and a SERVER-CLIENT installation for EFBv2. The FSX-SE system and EFBv2 works fine no problems. So I installed the SERVER on the P3Dv4 drive and am now trying to connect it to the CLIENT (one CLIENT for both simulators) on the remote PC. I entered the IP address of the SERVER as per your instructions (actually identical to the FSX-SE IP address), but the CLIENT is trying to connect to the SERVER without success (the word SERVER remains RED). Both machines run WIN10; 1803 (OS build 17134.228). Since the FSX-SE drive and EFBv2 works flawless, I have to assume that it has something to do with sharing/access/permissions to the new P3Dv4 drive. Could you tell me what settings I should check? Thanks a lot for your help
