Thomas, No, you're wrong (I'm sorry to say that ) but Android is not Windows, and the .NET framework runs only on Windows platforms.

Hi, as per the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks. What exactly do you mean with "... use the shortcut for starting the display ..." since some words before you write that you have started the DisplayUnit already? The shortcuts 'BringToFront' and 'SendToBack' work only if FSX is the foreground window which has the focus. Please make sure that FSX has the focus. The other shortcuts will only work if FSX has the focus AND if EFB is currently displaying a chart or the flightlog. Please also read the operations manual, section 3, page 8.

Hi Thomas, it's still a long way to go until version 2 will be released. Release date is still unpredictable, but I guess that it will take at least another 6 months. Therefore you will have a lot of time to use and enjoy version 1.x . Concerning the release date for version 2 I can only say what Travis already did in one of his earlier posts. Whenever EFB 2 is on final we will announce it here in this forum. So please be patient and stay tuned. EFB is a so called ".NET-application" which means that the Microsoft .NET-framework must be installed on every computer where you want to run EFB. In other words, on every tablet computer which is capable of running the .NET-framework, EFB will run too.

Salut Jean-Louis, you cannot remove this entries, they are "hard-coded". Everyone can select what is needed .

Current users may update their EFB installations by downloading and executing the AivlaSoft EFB Installer or Update 1.3.6 found here. Version 1.3.6 now supports the recently released REX Essential Plus weather data files. If you are using the new IVAO pilot client (IvAp 2.0) already, then you might be interested in this update too. A new option has been added which is used to assign the correct data field for the ground speed when displaying online traffic data. You will find it in the DisplayUnit settings, online traffic tab. There you can select whether the field "ground speed" or the field "indicated airspeed" will be used to show the ground speed. For Vatsim SB4 and for the new IvAp software you must select the IAS option. All other can select default which is "ground speed".

Hi, as per the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks. Prepar3D will only be supported with the next version of EFB. The next version (2.0) is still under development and currently it is not possible to predict a release date. Please be patient. I think that I don't understand the meaning of this question. What do you exactly mean with " ... for the proper performance of this software"?

Hi Ed, yes, we received the information a few days ago and the patch will be released today.

Dave, are the logfiles also empty on your computer?

Andrew, I can select CYOW here with no problems (having only stock scenery), so the cause for the problem must be elsewhere. Please check the following: - DisplayUnit settings: "charts" -> "miscellaneous", is there any value entered in the text box called "Longest Runway Length"? - DataProvider: On the computer where the DataProvider is installed, please navigate to the folder where the logfiles are saved. Usually this is C:\Users\[username]\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB\Logfiles. Could you send me all the logfiles which you can see in that folder? Send them to support@aivlasoft.com Thanks.

Hi Todd, thanks for this information. If you are still flying, could you please open the "AI aircraft monitor" from the DataProviders "Data" menu and send me a screenshot where I can see the several speed values?

Hi Karol, Since I'm not a member with IVAO I don't own a copy of IvAp. Therefore I don't know anything about this program. So I must forward the question to active IVAO members. Does anyone know where to get up-to-date FIR/ARTCC data files and definitions?

Andreas, that means that your computer can establish an FTP connection. Could you try again from within EFB and afterwards send all the logfiles to support@aivlasoft.com. Thanks.

Hi Karol, thanks very much for this information. Since I'm not a member with IVAO I didn't know that. EFB needs the files which describes the FIR/ARTCC boundaries and the callsign definitions which are used within a certain area. Maybe they can be obtained from IVAO?

Andreas, Can you connect to NOAA via FTP at all? What happens if you click this link? ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/SL.us008001

Leon, You should better ask the developer/publisher at simcheck on how the set the AP. EFB "only" loads a flightplan into FSX (according to the current settings).

@ Chris, thanks for that, but we should receive the "official" description very soon ...

Sorry, but ETA is not yet predictable.

Ronald, I know that SimConnect throws such an exception sometimes but EFB cannot prevent it, EFB also doesn't cause it, EFB only reports it. Except from setting the COM frequencies or the time-sync function, EFB does not write any data towards FSX (through SimConnect). EFB only reads data. The exception 0xC000014B means that SimConnect has lost the connection (called 'pipe') to FSX, but the cause why FSX crashes or disconnect from SimConnect is not known. Only one of the programmer who has developed SimConnect or/and FSX could tell us the reason for, but unfortunately there is no one of these programmers available anymore.

Hi Matt, That's correct. The function that is implemented in EFB is used to synchronize (= set) FSX time according to the current computer time (and not vice versa).

Hi Florin, it seems that the newly released REX program is using another data format (other than what EFB can recognize). We haven't yet received the description of the new data format so I wasn't yet able to update EFB. Please be patient ...

Hi Mark, seems to be a too small display resolution and therefore not the entire form is being displayed. You can try to make the form a bit smaller until you can move it. This way it should be possible to get the buttons displayed.

Hans, EFB is a .NET-framework application. If version 3.5 (or greater) of the framework is installed and running on any operating system, then EFB will work too. Since the .NET framework is part of the operating system since Windows Vista, I assume that it will work on Win 8 too. Although I haven't yet tested EFB with Win 8 by myself, I know from others that it works. I suggest that you give it a try, using the 30-days trial version which is without any obligations.

Hi Bill, EFB version 1.x doesn't support PBD waypoints. But I will add it to the feature list for EFB 2. Thanks for that.

Hi Andreas, The connection to NOAA is using FTP (File Transfer Protocol, on port 20/21). Did you already search through the forum using the words "ftp noaa"? There are some more postings about that, i.e. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1016
