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.

But thank you for an excellent piece of software !!!
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.

vpilot has added the .ctaf <airport> command
Would be nice to know which source it is accessing to get the frequencies for a certain airport.

Thank you very much for your kind words, but MSFS has it already built-in. It just requires some configuration work.
Here are some screenshots of the keyboard settings for the Cockpit Camera on my sim computer. There are 3 different areas to address:
1) moving/positioning the camera
2) saving the camera position
3) loading/activating the saved position
1) Moving/positioning the cockpit camera left, right, forward, backward is done with the translate commands. The German name 'Nach-Rechts' means the arrow key to the right, then following below, arrow key to the left, up, and down.
Then use Page-Up and Page-Down to move the camera up and down:
Combining the arrow keys with the CTRL key (in German STRG) allows you to rotate the camera:
With the 10 assignments above, the cockpit camera can be moved at any place in the cockpit.
2) Saving the position of the cockpit camera. On my system the following key combinations have been assigned (STRG means CTRL, ZEHNERTASTATUR means the numeric keypad on the right of your keyboard).
3) Finally, loading a preset camera is done by pressing the keys on the numeric keypad as follows:
IMPORTANT:
Whenever you assign a key to a certain function, make sure this key is not yet assigned to any other function because this would lead to unforeseeable troubles. I remember when I have started to assign 'my' keys, there were a lot of preconfigured keys already which I first had to unassign.
Hope this helps.

I guess it would require to send appropriate information to the FMC which usually is a 'closed system' and does not provide any interface for third-party-tools. All FMC's which I have used provide a HOLD page where you can enter such information manually and the aircraft will follow these instructions.

Hi Marc
From what I have read so far about these CTAFs there is not much chance to have them displayed on the ATC ribbon.
The ATC ribbon displays frequencies from active controller's which data is downloaded at intervals of 30 seconds but CTAF seems more to be static data.
I have also not yet read about a single source (e.g. a text file with a key-value list) which would provide all the frequencies per airport.

Is it possible to bypass the AIRAC check please?
No, sorry, this is not possible.
In which data format are these routes given?
-
You're right Michael. As long as one is seeing a yellow caution on the sidebar 'AIRAC cycle', this option is greyed out for obvious reason. In one way or another this is also described in the manual "5 EN Client.pdf".

As Stephen already laid out, EFB cannot run if the data folder is located on a drive which is synchronized with a cloud service (e.g. OneDrive).
Please uninstall Client and Server and then reinstall them using the latest installers from the download page https://www.aivlasoft.com/download.html.
When reinstall please take care where you select the data folder to be located. Don't use C:\Users\dsbut\OneDrive\Documents
For any further issues please create a support-file from the Client and the Server and upload them here. Since this is a Client-Server application, we need information from both to get the overall picture. Thanks.

and could let me know what should be in the profile as the "show as" line.
Please have a look at the manual "5 EN Client.pdf", Section 12.2 "Profiles Editor"

I can only confirm what Stephen already pointed out, the localizer identifier for runway 23 is IOL in the file, but should be IOLB. Runway 05 has the identifier ISM which seems to be right.

Hi Bill
did you already check on the Server's side (using the traffic monitor) whether the desired information is listed there? If so, maybe you have to alter the respective configuration by assigning another column number. For details please see the Client manual, 7.1.5. Traffic, starting at page 70.

If I attach it would you be able to verify its accuracy?
Although I have no more installation of P3D, I can try it. Nothing promised ... ;-)

Thanks for providing the solution. I'm sure it will help others when they experience similar issues.
-
Thanks for lettings us know that it now works.

Hi Ray
I guess that this one can help: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/4264-why-are-ils-approaches-not-showing/

Maybe this one, from the FAQs, will help:

Traffic data is received from X-Plane, and if flying online with either VATSIM or IVAO, additionally via the respective online network (please see the Client manual for in-depth information about online traffic). In either situation it is beyond the scope of EFB how many aircraft symbols are available and where they are located.

Do you mean that only the aircraft on ground are depicted but not the aircraft which are airborne? Maybe a filter setting?

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