Did you check that the IP is no longer fixed? If yes, then upload again the support files please.

Ruedi, the problem is you don't read manuals. Please do so and everything will be fine. (Hint: refer to Manual 4 Database, chapter 2.4)

Hello *NEWBIE* Let us know you name according the forum rules please. Are you using IVAO by chance?

Hello *STRANGER* (tell us your name according the forum rules!) Your simulator is not connected!

Hi Hugo (I assume, please state your real name according the forum rules) Did you correctly enter the servers name or IP in the client of your laptop to establish the connection? Have you followed the instructions in the user manual?

Yes, absolutely. If you have seleted a network, only active positions from this network will be shown. If you select "none", the radio panel will display the stations according the BGL files.

Jacob, can you upload the relevant checklist file here please? EFB allows currently maximum 2 levels. That means, you cannot create a 3rd level (child of a child) item. So from the selected entry, which is a child, the button coloring looks as expected (you cannot add another child to this child, only a sibling).

Do you have VATSIM or IVAO services activated in the settings by chance? Then, a possible explanation will be that just no relevant station from the activated network was online at that time, and therefore only UNICOM was shown.

Maik, if you read your post above again but assume that you had EFB already and then added your other add-on, you wouldn't ask EFB to change anything, but just the other add-on developer. You can't honestly expect EFB to deal with any possible and impossible behaviour of other add-ons, just because you have them setup the way they are. But it's also good to know that Aivlasoft actually seems to be the only one recognizing that you have an issue and offer a fix within just a few days. Wow! However, you still might want to address your issues and the proposed solution to the developer of the other add-on. Maybe, they take you more seriously than you think once you tell them about your problem ...

Until it is published ... ?

Suggest to just load the "EFB_current_gps.pln" from the sim folder into Active Sky.

Can you also provide a screenshot of the info dialog while LFLL is the active airports? (i symbol right beside the airport name)

Hello *NONAME* Please tell us: your real name the build numers you are using your setup (local/networked) if you have followed the manual for your setup

Juergen, according the the error message, there is a scenery entry in the file 'C:\Users\P3D\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\add-ons.cfg' that doesn't exist on your computer. Please check the paths in these file and remove the entries for non-existent locations.

Guy, please create a support file according the description in the FAQ.

Juergen, please read the FAQ to create and upload a support file.

Also this has been discussed. The problem is, also for ORBX sceneries, that there are sometimes "fake" runways defined. So you would then see runways where none are actually. None of the solutions is perfect. But EFB can't compensate for tweaks on AFCAD files done by the scenery designers. The easiest solution for your is to get the Airport Designer Editor, fix the AFCAD files in question and copy the corrected file to "Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\AFCAD". This is the solution EFB v2 offers to overcome this discrepancies in scenery design.

Are you sending the FPL directly from PFPX to FSX or through EFB?

If you would always do what a few people want you to do, you never would release a product like EFB. It's a balance between a concept you base the software on and inputs from the users. But you can't throw over everything just because of a few votes. On the one side, users use software quite differently, hence the expectations of how a functionality should be differ quite a lot. On the other side, users tend to forget that the software is not only designed for them, but also a bunch of other users with again different wishes. E.g. the radio panel is designed to also be used while not flying online. The needs are different in this case, hence a change has to be evaluated to not interfere with these needs. It's definitely a good thing, it's like late compliments for v1. But the development is already in a mature state (otherwise, the product wouldn't have been released), decisions about concepts have been taken and cannot be changed. The challenge is now to find a solution what suits the concept of EFB2 and even tops the solution of v1. The solution of v1 also had it's weaknesses like cluttering the map, limited support for touch devices, algorithm to display the "right" stations, ... . It's not easy for sure, but if Urs managed it for v1, I'm very confident he will find an even better solution for v2. You just can't think of it by now. The way you can help is to describe precisely when you need what information to which extend. Just stating "we want this part of v1 back" doesn't help at all, particularly because v2 is a complete new development and also has code-wise nothing to do with v1. So if you miss some information you have in v1, try to describe when you need this information, what digits/letters you are exactly looking for, how often and in which flight phases you look for this information. Your constructive contributions are very welcome!

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 ...

The sidebar is locked (no information update) while you change the settings. It will unlock automatically once you leave the settings dialog. You need to solve your network issues then. I've also such a setup. You just need to share the relevant folder (AppData\Roaming\Hifi\ASNFSX\Weather) from your client computer, then you can access it from the server computer and everything works fine.

Bob, I guess we will never agree on certain points. This is just because we have different routines on how we fly and plan. Some are better supported by EFB, some less. During events, the question I find difficult to answer is which of the GNDs/APPs/CTRs will I need to contact next? And to find out, I think the only reliable method is to listen to the frequency and find out who is in front of you (the guy that gets similiar clearance, just earlier) and expect you will need to do the same. I've always a piece of paper and a pen available, in case I need to write something down. This could be a frequency. And I also usually set my frequencies in the aircraft (in the sim). Although the functionality of EFB is nice, I still like to virtually turn those nobs. Regarding SIDs/STARs, I've to admit that I'm not familiar with the FAA approach. I've always learned to not include procedures in the flight plan (because you may use another one when you do this flight next time), but there are even in Europe different preferences (issued by the respective aviation authorities). I don't know for sure what EFB2 is estimate to cope with. It might be worth to open a specific topic to clarify this issue and check if any improvement can be done. Also your specific issue observed on the KSEA STARs is certainly worth a separate topic to tackle it properly. I can already tell that I have the same behaviour. There seems to be an issue with those procedures. And about the hover function: Ever tried to hover on a touch screen? That's horrible. For touch devices, EFB2 is quite an improvement, I can tell you. It's just a click away in the Weather tab including the calculated components for cross and tail/headwind. This is helpful for the assessment of the runway to be used, isn't it? We certainly do accept critical comments here. Having done beta tests for this product, the beta testers are probably the most critial users. We probably have a little bit more insight on the ideas behind certain functionalities of EFB2 and were participating in some long discussions to find out the solution we currently have is the best one. On topics we had those discussions already, we probably tend to take quite a contra position. But we take all inputs seriously and try to provide a solution to support the key need. The solution however might look different from what you expected. And this is due to the probably most common missunderstanding about EFB2, that it isn't simple continuoued development of EFB1. A quote from the Manual 1 Installation: This is a crucial fact to understand when attempting to compare v1 and v2. This is especially said to anyone commenting like "v1 was better than v2" outside of this forum. Those votes won't be taken into consideration for updates of v2. People having specific needs (remember to describe the needs, not the solution) are encouraged to report those needs in this forum. So, there are at least 2 topics you reported, Bob, which need further investigation. I invite you to open separate topics as already mentioned above. Then I'm confident we will find an appropriate solution.

Bob, you are bringing up quite a few topics together. Allow me to go through them point by point. But first, let me clarify that I fly online as well. However, the need to see continuously the frequencies is not a need I have. I like it to have a window I can open when I need to check what the next frequencies could be. And I like it even more to read the ATIS that way as the text stays until I select a new station. The hover solution from v1 really isn't my preference. When you display additionally the active ATC positions on your world map, you get a very good overview of what positions and services you can expect. And there is some improvement planned even there. So Urs does certainly consider the online pilots and is investing a lot of time despite the small user group. I can't understand what the issue should be for the SID/STAR restrictions. They are available in v2 as well, you just have not selected the same procedures in your screenshot. This makes it a bit difficult, if not unfair, to compare. The display of traffic depends on your FSUIPC settings and the filter options in EFB. If you set them according your wishes, you will also see the same traffic as in v1. Be aware that you need a licenced version of FSUIPC to disable the distance limiter there. But both these aspects have already been discussed in other topics here. If you need specific help, please advise and report your exact nature of the problem. This forum is certainly the best place to discuss as others users can participate as well. But don't be disappointed if the developer doesn't meet each of your desires. There are other users with different preferences which might not meet yours. A generalisation of your opinions for an entire group ("us online guys") should be made with caution.

@Dan, check also the application specific volume for EFB, if your os supports this. The latest os do so and they allow you to setup the volume specifically for each application. This might help to find the right balance in reference to other application and system sounds.

Hi Axel Thanks for your report! I can confirm the same behaviour on my system. So I think this is a bug to be fixed.
