Joe, can you send me the route for further investigation? Please send it to support@aivlasoft.com - when you select the "arrival" tab at the top of the airport module, is it an airport from the route or is it any other airport? (which airport?).

Hi Lee, EFB shows AI traffic regardless of the source (Online pilot client programs like IvAp from IVAO or Squawkbox and FSInn from Vatsim, or offline traffic generated by any third-party program or FSX itself). Have a look at the settings (DisplayUnit > System > Settings > Charts > Traffic) and make sure that you tick the checkbox named "Show AI / Multiplayer traffic". If you also fly online, then also tick the box below (Show online traffic ...). For more details please read the manuals.

Hi, - have you activated a route or not? - does it happen when you select the "approach" tab at the top of the individual airport module, or does it happen when you click on the blue "Select Approach" button from the menu? BTW, according to the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks.

Hi, - stock airport or add-on airport? - at which airport? - which AIRAC cycle?

Hi Clive, I can see from your screenshot that the file "... 04z" has a newer timestamp than the file "... 22z", so I'm confused too. I just wrote to the REX developer again, hoping that he can advise on how to proceed.

Yes, I got an answer from the lead developer (sorry for not posting earlier) who said that the files will never be overwritten. He also confirmed that if EFB does a sort (ascending) of the files in that directory, the last file will then always contain the latest METAR data. I guess, there is nothing to change in EFB

Hi, Of course, I did! Stupid me ... I was irritated by the file name ended with X (thought that this is for X-plane). Ok, seems that there are too many "X" around me

Hi Otto, Yes, that's the problem. I was just about to install the scenery when I realized that on the first screen the following title appears " ... for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004"

Hi, I don't know what the issue could be so I just bought the scenery for further testing. I'll keep you informed about the outcome. BTW, according to the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks.

Pascal, do you have a wireless network or cabled network? If it runs on a wireless network it can take several moments to load due to the sometimes poor performance of wireless networks.

Hi Geb, did you already read this post? viewtopic.php?f=3&t=145

Hi Wil, please read the operations manual, section 2 "DataProvider", page 3. I think that this should answer your question.

I will ask the REXe programmers whether they can shed some light on me so I can fix it.

Clive, On the screenshot I can see that the METAR code on the REX screen is different than the METAR code on the EFB screen. Just to be sure, did you press the "Refresh" button already? The timestamp (Observation time UTC) is taken from the METAR code. If the METAR code contains 1020Z then EFB will show 1020Z regardless of any other timestamp in REXe. Which folder did you reference in the DisplayUnit settings?

Clive, I have some plans/ideas in mind for version 2. Since version 2 will be available for FS9 too, FSUIPC will be used anyway. But it's too early to make any promises concerning technical details as I'm not yet working on that interface.

Clive, I don't have the "right" answer, sorry. I only know that "FSX" is not equivalent to "SimConnect". Although FSX is showing AI traffic it does not mean that SimConnect is forwarding this traffic data to all the clients that are connected with. Sometimes I have the impression that SimConnect swallows some data, especially on high loads.

Hi Martyn, EFB needs the data from IvAe to show the FIR/ARTCC boundaries. IvAe itself must not running for this, only the data must be available. That't why EFB needs to know that folder. The list of active ATC comes from the IVAO servers (via AivlaSoft server).

Hi Alfredo, I just released update 1.3.4 which fixes the problem. http://www.aivlasoft.com/download/index.html

Stefan, I just released update 1.3.4 which fixes the problem. http://www.aivlasoft.com/download/index.html

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. It would be helpful to me if you were describe it in more details. What are "airmail letters"?

Stefan, it seems that this is a bug that comes with 1.3.3. The DisplayUnit tries to read the FSX installation path from the registry which is obviously not possible if the DisplayUnit is running on another computer than FSX is installed. I will do some tests asap and let you know whether there is a feasible workaround.

Hi Alfredo, yes, you're right. Changing the word "FROM" to "TO" is a workaround.

Hi Alfredo, thanks for this detailed report. I had a look at the Navigraph procedure description and I can see what's the problem. It's an 'old' problem since the procedure description does not clearly distinct between "TO" and "FROM" if a distance is given. Since the description writes "TRK 165 UNTIL 15.0 FROM FIX MHN" the procedure is depicted as on your screenshots. I will have a look into the source code, maybe there is a chance for another update

Current users may update their EFB installations by downloading and executing the AivlaSoft EFB Installer or Setup 1.3.3 found here. NEW : Now supports REX Essentials weather data files IMPRV: Slightly improved ground chart depiction FIXED: Some minor bugfixes

Hi Marc-Andre, EFB is using FTP for downloading data from NOAA. Maybe this is the problem on your computer? Do you see a yellow circle and an error message in the status bar on the lower left side of the DisplayUnit when the message appears "METAR currently not available"?
