Hi, I guess I can edit a text file with notepad, if that is what you mean. Thanks for help

Hi Jonas, Ok on the add-one.cfg error. However, I can not connect the server with client, see the screenshots and description in the 1st post (or should I make a seperate post? Thanks for quick reply

Hi Jonas, The file "add-ons.cfg does NOT exist in the directory specified. Where does the path come from? (what file is looking for add-ons.cfg). Thanks for help

Hi Jonas, Got it. See attached. Thanks Server_201808180422.txt.zip

I am trying to run EFBv2 with Win10 and P3Dv4.329.25520 and run into the following problem: after creating the database I get the following message: "Database creation finished with 0 warning(s) and/or 1 error(s). I took some screenshots and the error points to a missing "add-ons.cfg" file, which is not in the specified location. I just installed P3D and have not made any modifications yet. If I than try to connect the Server with the Client, I get an error as seen in the screenshot. The IP address seems to differ in the log-file and the settings menu. The server PC has a fixed IP address and I don't know where the "Desktop-I08L8Q0 comes from? I was trying to attach a log-file, however I am not sure which one.

Hi lonewulf47, my reasons for the dual boot: Eventually I have to re-install FSX-SE and basically clean it up properly. While I am doing that, I can still fly with P3D and I am familiar with WIN10. Yes, I needed an additional license. So you see no problem with installing the Server (Database) on my 2nd SSD and run the Client (display) on a different PC. Logic says there should be no problem since it is running on a different SSD with the same OS. Thanks

Hi, I have recently installed a 2nd SSD and use it in a dual boot configuration. I have EFB v2 running in FSX-SE (on SSD # 1 w. WIN10) in a Server/Client arrangement. I would like now to do the same in P3D (on SSD # 2 w. WIN10) Server/Client arrangement. Since the client is already installed on another PC, I don't know how to proceed. I hope I have made myself understandable what I am trying to achieve. Thanks for help Juergen Mader

Hi Lonewulf, I was mistaken in one of my posts in that I stated I positioned the aircraft at VTBS (should have been WMKK - Kuala Lumpur). Also it is correct VTBS does NOT exist in FSX-SE (found that out this morning; flight from WMKK to VTBS) So all is good (the error display in EFB v1 clearly stated that VTBS does not exist - a little easier for troubleshooting). Again thanks for help Juergen

I can't say for sure anymore, since I changed the scenery. However, I can let you know tomorrow when I fly with someone who has the standard scenery loaded. I will give you shout tomorrow. Juergen

Hi Lonewulf47, very first post: FSX-SE Juergen

Jonas, EFB v2 recognizes the downloaded scenery and I am good to go (flight plan works) All is good Thanks for help Juergen

Jonas, No addon on scenery. But I will download VTBS scenery now from AVSIM, load it, rebuild the database and try it again. I will report back Juergen

Hi Jonas, One more thing: I had the aircraft placed/parked at VTBS parking position 17. So I don't understand that EFB's telling me that it is NOT available???????

Hi Jonas, Ok it makes sense after looking at EFB v1 (clearly states VTBS does not exist). But how do you get that from the warning in EFB v2? Thanks for speedy reply Juergen

Hi, I just tried to load the flight plan in EFV v1 and there it says that a airport with ICAO name VTBS does not exist???? BTW: the PMDG B744 accepted the same plan - no problem. Juergen Mader

HI, I wanted to fly from WMKK(Kuala Lumpur) to VTBS(Bangkok), with a flight plan from Sim Brief. When I tried to select the flight plan from the company routes it is grayed out. If I than highlight it it comes up with a warning: Invalid routing. Please see the validation summary and update the route. The validation summary says: Destination airport VTBS is not available due to filter criteria of the currently selected aircraft profile. The current selected aircraft is a B747-400 (FSX-SE PMDG B747-400). For the life of me I can't see anything wrong in the aircraft profile filter. https://www.flickr.com/photos/141330124@N05/shares/98E2hu Any suggestions I would appreciate Thanks Juergen Mader

Jonas, Thanks for help. EFB2 looks great, but also considerable learning curve, since it's totally different from version 1. But we'll get sooner or later.

Hi Jonas, You are correct. The Navigraph FMS Data Manager creates two folders : AIRAC and Navigraph FMS Data. So when pointing Navigraph to the EFB2 it duplicated these directories again. So I just pointed Navigraph Data Manager up to : C:documents>Aivlasoft>EFB2>Server and it created a folder AIRAC and subfolder Navigraph FMS Data. Now the AIRAC is correct and I was able to update. Thanks for help

Hi, I started the Data Base Builder in order to update the AIRAC from cycle 1802 to cycle 1807. I imported the new cycle with the Navigraph MS Data Manager and pointed the installer to C:user>username>Documents>Aivlasoft>EFB2>Server>AIRAC>Navigraph FMS DATA. The new cycle is installed at that location (see screenshot), however it does not appear in the Data Base Builder so I can import the new cycle. The displayed cycle remains at AIRAC 1802. The manual only states this: "Select the Navdata Provider of your choice on the top line. After its selection the installation path and the information for the available AIRAC Cycle is displayed. The path to the Navdata files cannot be altered as it is part of the fixed data structure of the EFB v2 Server. Press "Start Import" to activate the Creation/Update process of the EFB v2 Database." Shouldn't the Cycle Information" display Cycle 1807??? https://www.flickr.com/photos/141330124@N05/shares/zH4544 Thanks

Hi Urs, Just started the Server and then the Client. Everything seems to be good. BTW: I did not delete EFB1, just in case I run into problems. So for right now ALL IS GOOD! Thanks for help Jonas & Urs

Hi Urs, I believe that was it. Here the screenshots: https://www.flickr.com/photos/141330124@N05/shares/57Djp3 BTW: back when I installed FSX-SE I accepted the default installation path; also I never changed anything in the registry (healthy respect for screwing things up). So I can't explain why EFB did not select the correct path. Thanks

Hi Jonas, The simulator is installed with the following path: C:>Program Files (x86)>Steam>steamapps>common>FSX Here the screenshot: https://www.flickr.com/photos/141330124@N05/shares/LD7E7L Thanks

Jonas, I certainly appreciate your efforts, however mostly I don't understand what you want me to do: I don't know if this is the scenery.cfg that should be used? Yes, there is a scenery.cfg located in the folder you listed! Same error, but I didn't change anything. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY: Check if scenery.cfg, located at ...... is the one that should be used??????? Thanks

Hi Jonas, Please be patient I am not a software geek. In any rate I think I got it. Was the explanation of the path sufficient? Again, thanks Server_201807121612.txt.zip Server_201807121613.txt.zip

Hi Jan, No the path as it is listed in the error does NOT exist (there is no scenery folder under Documents). I found the log file; hope it's correct Thanks DataProviderLogfile-1.txt
