Paypal is a good and easy way to set up donations.

I would be glad to donate to the donor, to help defray his cost.

Yes, I see that in the server log file.

I have been using EFB for years, and don't know what I would do if it became unusable. I am sure many people would be glad to pay a fee to keep the server open, if that is what is required to keep this program working.

Here is where I found the file on my MSFS C:\Users\username \AppData\Roaming\HiFi\AS_FS\Weather\current_wx_snapshot.txt

I have the same question. When I click on Actice Sky in the settings menu for weather, I don't get any weather.

Since yesterday no metars in the Avlasoft EFB and also the PMDG EFB. Just started working again this morning.

What is causing this, I think I had he same thing a couple of years ago, but can't remember how to fix it. I tried clicking on the icon in the task bar, but no help. As soon as I click on flight plan, the this small box pops up. Solved, I had to resize that small box by dragging it with the mouse to open it up. , to see the flight plan. I think I figured this out a couple of year ago, but my memory isn't what it used to be.

Restarted PC, ran update again, and this time it worked.

I just ran the update for client and server, and server will not start anymore. Luckly I have a backup drive, so I guess I will copy the server files from there.

Got it, thanks.

I see this message alot, flying in PHNL and then KLAX today for instance , that message in yellow is always under status. Why is that, everything seems to be working perfectly.

Usually, when I press FPL I see the plan with all the waypoints listed. Now all I get is a very small box in the center of the screen that says Flight plan with an x and a minimize dash. I don't think I changed anything. Disregard. Somehow t he flight plan got minimized. All is back to normal after I resized it..

Tried running the update again this morning and it worked perfectly.

It is working now.

As I said in my original post, I am afraid to run the update, because I may get the same error, and not be able to start EFB again. The post directly above mine shows the exact error I got, when trying to run the update. ( abort-retry-ignore.) . I tried retry, and that didn't work. I was afraid to try ignore, and when I tried abort, it made EFB unable to start, both client and server..

I got an update just now, tried to update, and got an error with three choices, ignore, abort and something else, I clicked abort.. After that I could not get client or server to even start. Now EFB will not start at all. I tried restarting PC, no help. Update. I had a backup of EFB folder under program files, on a Macrium disc, so I just replaced the EFB folder and now everything is working again. I am not going to try and update it again. The only thing that is strange is now my flight plans look like this at the top TT:Airportek.KLAR ( USA)

Disregard.

I notice that the database in EFB lists Navigraph FMS data as the Navdata. That is what I had in P3D around a year ago. How do I configure EFB to use the default Navblu data in EFB database? I am afraid to change anything and wind up with no database at all.

I forgot that I had downloaded one update of Navigraph data months ago. I guess that is where EFB is getting the frequencies from.

I am using PF3 for ATC. I am now at EDDW ready for takeoff on rwy 27. EFB tells me the ATIS Freq is 132.800 and sets my radio at that frequency. The actual freq is 132.375 so I have to manually tune the radio to that. Same with the Tower, EFB says tower is 120.330 Actual frequency is 120.325. If I try and enter the correct frequencies in the radio panel of EFB, it won't accept them. Not a big deal, but wondering what the cause of this is. Happens on PMDG DC6, Carenado Seminole and JF Arrow 3.

Many times , especially in Europe, I get the frequency at say 120.90, and the actual freq turns out to be 120.85. Is that an issue with MSFS?

I notice that in the menu for weather in EFB, mine is set to Real weather. When I move the setting to Simulator, I don't get any weather shown in EFB. Is this normal? Disregard question. I found this after I posted it. https://www.aivlasoft.com/msfs-limitations.html

Derek at Simbrief fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.

I don't see that direct download option in Simbrief?
