Could you please create two support files, one from the Client and one from the Server. Take the files more or less in the same time frame so the data is corresponding to each other.

Try deleting the file C:\Users\<username>\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\Backup\aircraftState.bin

Did you also reinstall FSUIPC7 ?

Because I don't have Active Sky for MSFS I don't know whether the filename is still the same as it is for other simulators ("current_wx_snapshot.txt") and whether the file format is still the same. But assuming that these requirements are still the same, then on the Server's side you have to set the proper file path to this file (in tab 'MSFS') and on the Client's side, open the settings, and select "Active Sky" as your weather data provider.

Almost the right one, it is indeed the right file type, but I have asked for a support file from the SERVER because your report is related to EFB Server, not Client. Thanks.

You have uploaded an exe-file, not the zip-file, therefore I have deleted the file. The support file is a zipped file which contains several text files. You have to run the SupportFile.exe which creates a zip-file on the Desktop. Please upload the zip-file from the Desktop.

Please create a support file from the Server and upload it here, thanks.

Please see here (same topic): https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/8588-length-cannot-be-less-than-zero-error-when-starting-server/

It seems that a faulty SIGMET file was downloaded a few days ago which now causes EFB to struggle when it is trying to read this file. Before you start the Server next time, just remove the 'Downloads' folder in the Server's data structure. This folder will be recreated when the Server is starting and the content will be re-downloaded.

Please check your files for viruses before uploading them. Thanks.

Just posting a screenshot does not really help us to identify the cause for the error. Would you please be so kind and upload a support file from the Server and one from the Client, thanks. One thing that I just have seen in the screenshot is, that you have selected a data path which is synchronized with the OneDrive cloud service. This is not a good idea because it will have an impact on stability of the program. Please uninstall EFB Server and reinstall it. Upon reinstallation be careful to select a data path which is not synchronized with OneDrive. BTW, same is valid for the Client's data path. Please check the Client's data path and if also located on OneDrive, proceed the same way as with the Server.

I'm happy if it works now. I better should have written 'to be unsure' instead of 'having no idea' ;-).

Thank you for your suggestion. Currently I do not have plans to introduce this functionality but I will reconsider it if there are more requests of this kind.

As far as I can see there is already a possibility to set a filter for just inbound traffic to a certain airport, or just outbound traffic from a certain airport.

I have no idea why MSFS is crashing when you save a situation in MSFS. Did you uncheck the option to automatically forward the EFB flight plan to MSFS in the aircraft profile for the PMDG 737?

Hi Ray I have had a look at this and unfortunately it has too many side effects. It was not originally designed this way and would require a lot of code to update.

Could you please create a set of support files, one from the Client, one from the Server and then upload them here. Thanks.

I'm working on a technical update to keep the software running on newer systems. This update includes minor bug fixes but no new or changed functions.

Thanks Marc for testing and reporting back. I have the impression that it is still too early to start implementation. Let's wait until the end of the trial and the possible findings. Who knows whether it will become a permanent service and whether the specifications might still change.

Here's a screenshot from the test program, I just checked a few airports: The output is formatted as JSON, so not really human readable ;-). You see, some airports provide information about their CTAF, some others not. Thanks!

I ran some tests with the API by randomly selecting airports from the SkyVector maps where a CTAF frequency is displayed. I have no idea why, but most of these airports seem not to be accessible through the API. In most of all requests I get the message 'airport could not be found'. Only a few requests have returned useful data. Interestingly the successful requests were always at the big airports like KJFK, KSEA, KLAX etc.

Thank YOU.

Great! Thank you very much. I will have a look what can be done in EFB using this API.

The current software architecture and internal data structure does not allow it. Changing this would require to rewrite major parts of EFBv2 which is very unlikely. I personally don't see a real benefit of saving a SID, STAR, or APCH with a flight plan, because from my experience in most cases when using a saved flight plan again at all, either the situation (mainly winds) has changed and I have to select another SID, STAR, APCH, or even waypoints (fixes) have changed or are no longer available. In other words, it takes more time to check and update an existing flight plan than creating a new one according to the current situation and its requirements. Just my opinion.
