Patric, thanks for your inquiry. Development for version 1.x has been stopped many months ago because I'm working on version 2.0. I will have a look at this program (I don't know it yet) and if technically possible will add it on the 'to-do-list' for version 2.

Hi Tim, you don't have to run "the Eye", you only have to have the data files of "the Eye" available. On the download page you can download these files, then copy/paste them into a directory at your discretion. In the DisplayUnit settings dialog, go to the online tab and reference the corresponding folder.

Tim, thanks for the good words on EFB. Of course, EFB also shows the traffic of IVAO. What exactly do you miss? Have you already checked the settings and carefully read the manuals?

No problem, David. I'm glad you could have sorted out.

David, thanks for the update. Will have a look at this.

Marty, you cannot hide it completely, but you can configure the position of the toolbar and which buttons are available. Please see the "Installation and Configuration manual", section 3, page 19.

Hi Marty, yes, you're right. Except from the flight plan and the COM frequencies, EFB doesn't set any values in FSX. EFB is only reading and showing data.

Hi Marty, I'm not sure what you exactly mean with "how to setup the gradual arrival altitudes". From my point of view you don't have to set the altitudes. They will be read from the current procedure data. The descent angle is taken from the 'aircraft' (usually this is a 3.5° angle above 10'000 feet and 3.0° below 10'000 feet). Using these two items, EFB calculates the required descent rate to reach the next altitude constraint. Maybe you are still confused

Hi Dirk, According to the forum rules, I would like to encourage you to use the search function. Your question has been discussed already and not too long ago. I did the search for you: search.php?keywords=Johannesburg ... or with the ICAO identifier search.php?keywords=FAJS

Henk, this is very kind of you. Thanks a lot.

Richard, this seems to be an AIRAC releated error message. Which cycle are you using? In the past there was a version of an AIRAC cycle with a lot of problems. But Navigraph fixed it really fast.

David, can you see traffic with the 'AI aircraft monitor' (starting from the DataProvider's menu)?

Pete, thanks for posting the event log entries. Unfortunately they don't tell me what's the problem. Sorry. Some time ago I stumbled over these three links, maybe they can help a bit? http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archiv ... 04493.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archiv ... 99004.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archiv ... 79928.aspx

An updated version of the ProSim737 flight plan handler is available for download. The updated version only adds a new route if the routing itself has changed. Details can be read here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1292 How to replace the flight plan handler? Please follow the instructions below: 1) Download the flight plan handler to a temporary folder and unzip the file (download link is below). 2) Quit EFB DisplayUnit 3) Open Windows Explorer and locate the folder "plugins" which is below the installation folder of EFB (normally this is something like "C:\Program Files\AivlaSoft\EFB\plugins"). 3) Replace the file "AivlaSoft.FlightPlanHandlers.ProSim737.dll" in that folder with the unzipped file (see step 1). 5) Start DisplayUnit.

Hi Pete, I just did some testing with the latest dll's. Unfortunately there are too many dependencies throughout the whole project and therefore it were taking countless hours of re-coding several parts of the 1.x source code.

Hi Pete, Yes, only 3.5 SP1. Another idea that came to my mind, did you already have a look into the system event-log? Maybe there is some further information about the exception? I will also try today to replace the Castle.Windsor dll's by the latest ones. Maybe it's something that also happened with other projects and they have fixed it in the meantime? I don't know really but I think it's worth to try it. I'll let you know whether the latest dll's are working with EFB 1.x and - if they work - I could send you a pre-release so you can test it. Just let me know whether this is a feasible way to go.

Hi Pete, I'm sorry, but there is no solution available because I don't know the problem yet. The "castle.windsor" project provides a so called "inversion of control container" (http://www.castleproject.org/) which is used in EFB. This container is responsible for instantiating all the objects. If this container reports any problems "out of the blue" I must assume that something fundamental has been changed on your system. All the logfiles that I received from other customers didn't contain any trace about the problem. It's like you wrote "...the problem occurs before it gets to actually log anything". So the question is "what has changed on your system between the time when it was running and the time when it was no longer running"? Any windows updates installed? Any other system changes?

Pascal, just remove the EGLC lines from your runways.txt file and then it should work.

Hi Pascal, I thought that the UK2000 scenery already lists the correct runway identifiers 09/27? If that is true then you don't have to define any assignments to the runways.txt file for EGLC. Then you must remove them. If the scenery does not list the new identifiers instead of the old 10/28, then you must verify whether the corresponding BGL files are compiled for FSX (and not for FS9) because EFB will not read them if they are FS9 version.

Hi, as per the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks. I don't know "AirNav FS Live Traffic" so possibly this is a dumb question, why do you have to run the DataProvider at every startup? Does this add-on change the BGL files? The DataProvider "only" needs facility data out of the BGL files like runways, ILS data, airport information etc.

Hi Pascal, - which AIRAC cycle have you installed? - what are the entries for EGLC in your runways.txt file? - do you have an add-on scenery installed for EGLC?

Hi Marty, the red icon is visible whenever the moving map is activated. There is also an option (> miscellaneous) to show the airplane icon when the moving map is not activated. Furthermore there are several settings regarding colors and size of the symbol.

Hi Alan, thanks for the good words on EFB! I just had a look into the latest AIRAC cycles from either Aerosoft or Navigraph, both list the RNAV 02 and RNAV 20 approaches for PAMK. So far so good. The problem seems to be that FSX doesn't provide the ICAO identifier PAMK instead of the FAA identifier SMK for St Michael. Therefore EFB cannot find a match between these two identifiers. Since EFB is using the airport identifiers from the BGL files, a possible solution would be to find a scenery file for PAMK, or maybe the identifier can be changed using the free "Airport Design Editor"?
