I am just curious what causes three different navigation route plotting tools to be slightly different even though the routes are identical. I recently noticed that the degrees calculated by SkyVector, Little NavMap, and AivlaSoft EFB2 are off by a couple degrees - some of the legs are the same while others differ. Also note that for Little NavMap and AivlaSoft EFB2 I have both with AIRAC Cycle 1903, not sure what SkyVector uses or if this even matters. Anyone have any thoughts on this phenomena? See attached screenshots link of my plotted routes for: CZBB WC HUH KORS FHR BVS 3W5 EDIT - Links https://photos.app.goo.gl/SDwejagtdrFG962z5 https://photos.app.goo.gl/LtEhbYnqkiWtbWRR9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/JpD2Z6kqGZ5y79fs9

First let me say that I have never been disappointed with AivlaSoft EFB-2 I use it all the time and would not fly without it. Having said that I am just curious if any thought was ever given to incorporating either OpenStreetMap or the map source that SkyVector uses. Your current map source is very good but it would also be advantageous if when planning a route you could see ground terrain objects, etc as well as airspace designation areas.

Thank you, much appreciated

I am relatively new to EFB so if I am missing something I apologize in advance. I searched the forum but did not see an answer to my question. My question is - Can EFB provide the Airport Traffic Pattern either on the airport diagram or somewhere else, maybe also with Runways Information? Look forward to your answer...

I actually do start P3D and all my addons, utilities, etc. checked to Run as Administrator.

Thanks to everyone for all your help. I will just have to work around my issue as there is no resolution for it, but that's OK.

Thanks Urs for your reply. I had already done the testing by starting P3D with different aircraft and then starting the server and never once was there an error starting the server. It only happens with the A2A C172. However as per your request I have just done the testing again and the issue is still the same. I also started the server using a right mouse click and running as Administrator even though I had already checked that box in the Properties for the Server when I first installed EFB2 This problem certainly has a work around by simply starting the server first or starting P3D with a different aircraft then changing aircraft after the server is started. I am curious about the findings for the other person that posted saying he has the same problem - I believe it was Leodirk - please advise on his findings.

I believe I have found the problem. If P3D is loaded before the Server and if the aircraft is my A2A C172 then there is a server error. If the Server is loaded after, then there is no error. My other aircraft are not a problem ONLY the A2A C172 - I only have the C172 from A2A so not sure about other A2A aircraft. Leodirk also posted that he had the same problem - is his aircraft an A2A? Could it be that A2A aircraft always default to the P3D Addon folder - D:\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons While my other aircraft are in the default P3D directory - C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects Actually I just tested this out with another aircraft I have in the P3D Addon folder - D:\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons - and it also caused a server error. EDIT.... Not sure as of yet about the other aircraft in the addon folder - but the A2A in the addon folder is for sure a problem.

Thanks again Oskar, I have solved the Attachment Quota 100% by deleting attachments from some of my older posts. See attached two printscreens showing the Quota before and the Quota after. The Quota dashboard is found in "My Attachments" I will also reply to the original post regarding the server error as I believe I have found the issue...

I had to downsize this error message to below 10kb to get it into this post attachment. Any thoughts would be appreciated. EDIT.... My attachment did not attach. I have now found the problem - the AivlaSoft Forum has an Attachment Quota - it seems that I have reached my limit. I went into "My Attachments" shown under my name in the top right corner and I can see a lot of old attachments - I am not able to delete them to clear them out. Can you help with this?

This is very strange - I wonder if it is a Google Chrome issue as that is what I use for my browser? I will send the two files by email with copies of these postings. Thank you.

Oskar - thank you. I cannot upload the two zipped files as an error message states that I can only upload 10.24Kb - what should I do? Should I email them or can I PM them? My server and client files are both checked for Run as Administrator.

This week I purchased EFB-2 all was working well. Just getting used to using it and thought I should add in a new aircraft profile, that seemed fairly easy as well. Today I went to have a flight and did my usual startup procedures - P3D, ChasePlane, Active Sky, REX Sky Force - then EFB Server - that's when the error occurred. So I shut down all the sim files and tried to load the server first - same error. I had to reboot my PC and then loaded the Server and it loaded OK, then loaded Client all was well. Then loaded all my sim files as noted above and all was OK. So I then left my sim files running but shut down Client and Server - then tried to start Server and got the error again. Here is a screen shot of the error. I am running the latest Build - it is 61 for the Server and 78 for the Client. EDIT... Just wanted to add that the error occurs after the load dialogue box shows "Loading Database"

My apologies - I found my problem. The manual does say in a bold Important box that the Client needs to be restarted for any changes to take effect. I restarted the Client and all is well.

I tried creating a new profile and followed the manual carefully - but when I go to load the aircraft EFB2 does not recognize it. Is this a known bug? I am providing a link to my aircraft Airfile as well as a copy of my new EFB2 Profile. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TFh92p4Xp65vjAX99 https://photos.app.goo.gl/iZtmxUztFT2eUdqn6

Thanks Urs - I like how you ended your comment with - yet It sure would be wonderful to see EFB2 integrate with the Flight1 GTN750 GPS

Thanks Gunter - that is exactly what I have to do.

OK - I do understand what Mr. ATC and lonewulf47 has said and I do see the flight plan route in my GPS but when I activate the autopilot and change CDI to GPS the aircraft does not follow the route but in every case that I have tested the aircraft turns north to 0 degrees. I just don't get it. Now let me say that the default GPS is the GNS 430 (maybe this GPS is a problem?). I used this GPS as I guess there is no way for EFB to integrate with the GTN750 which is my preferred GPS.

Thank you for your quick response. Maybe my wording was wrong in what I said. I have read the manual and in fact spent a lot a time trying to absorb it all. I thought that Client Chapter 12.2.8 meant that when a flight plan is created it would forward that plan into the GPS so that you would not have to manually create the plan in the GPS - and it seems to do that through the file EFB_current_gps.pln. Am i correct in my thinking? If yes then when I look at the GPS shouldn't I see the route?

Looking for help on this matter. I am obviously doing something wrong or missing a step because I know EFB2 is supposed to automatically load a created flight plan into the default aircraft GPS but I am just not seeing that happen or be able to fly the plan with auto pilot and CDI selected to GPS. I have tried it with my P3D v4.3 default Carenado A36 Bonanza GNS as well as my Carenado C337 Skymaster with the Integrated GTN750

Thanks Urs you and the team have done an awesome job. Thanks for your answer regarding using *.pln routes through the Uplink option. Yes that will work although I must say it was easier in v1 to simply import as one of the route choice options. What about being able to export to a *.gfp route - how do we do that?

I really do appreciate your patience and help - But I still don't see that it is possible to load existing ".PLN" files from my P3D Files directory. Naturally like many other simmers I have a load of existing saved flight plans that I would like to be able to access - as I believe you were able to do in EFB-1. Pages 31 - 33 is all about Saving - I have no problem with that. Except that I would also like to export the route to a GFP file for my Garmin GTN750 (which I also believe could be done in EFB-1) Page 18 is about Uplinks - I don't see that as the solution.

Well I must be loosing it because I still do not see how to import from my P3D flight plans which are located in - D:\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files. I do see that any "efb" routes saved can be loaded through Company Routes. I have read the User Manual twice - help me out please if I am missing something.

First let me say - EFB-2 looks amazing and I believe will do a good job as soon as we can figure it all out - Great work, no wonder it took so long. I just installed it today July 2 and am using it as a DEMO version at this point. Here are some issues or questions that I have found so far - please help. There seems to be a limit on the amount of uploads allowed so I will provide links to the various print screens of my issues/questions... 1. When I start the Server I usually have to try it three or four times before it goes to the dialogue regarding how many days left - "Server Error" - https://photos.app.goo.gl/xAW1LCYdfES516ZQ7 2. There seems to be issues with my Scenery Scan - "EFB Scenery Scan" - https://photos.app.goo.gl/5aWgKRJLs2DhjQdL6 and "EFB Scenery Database Report" https://photos.app.goo.gl/4U8XUdxm9JyGUfsw5 3. Flight Plans: - I do not see a way to Import a flight plan from my P3D PLN plans. - I do not see a way to export to my Flight1 GTN 750 GFP plans. That's it for now, probably more to follow. Also your User Manual are very well done - I have read them all. Regards, Dane

Great news Ray - thanks for feedback
