    DATABASE WARNING

    in EFB v2 - Support forum

    Posted

    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

    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 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.

    Why don't you give both drives the same computer name? Shouldn't be a problem as you boot them separately. Alternatively you still might check (and if necessary adjust) the IP address of both Boot Drives. Then enter the IP address for the Client instead of the Computer Name. Running two Clients on the same (remote) computer is not a good idea and may lead to problems.

    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

    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

    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

    Ok, first close Server and Client

    then goto the Settings path of the Server: C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\Settings in standard installation and look for "serverSettings.txt"

    Open this file and look in the [Network] section for the follwing line:

     

    TcpIpAddress = xxxxxxxxxxxx

    Whatever it says, replace it by

    TcpIpAddress = 0.0.0.0

    Save and close the file. Be sure you do not change anything else.

     

    Start the Server. On the Settings/System tab the IP address should now read "any"

    Now you can start the Client and connect it to the Server. If you work with a remote Client on a network (still my guess) enter the IP address of the Server Computer rather than it's Name (which would also be a possibility). With Win10 Build #1803 ff names are sometimes not properly published within the network, so the IP address is the better solution.

      

    Hope that helps. 

     

     

     

     

     

    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

    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

    Just as a sidenote, the "add-ons.cfg" file can be on two different locations in the P3D v4.xx installation. On path is as mentioned here in the documents roaming path, the other is in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4. The add-ons.cfg file is the location where add-ons are enteres as so called "packages". This is a new system for adding add-ons introduced by LM with version 3.XX, however only used by add-on developers since V4.xx.

    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
