    Distributed installation

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    John,

     

    Connection terminated - TimeoutSND (repeated ...)
    That means that either the DisplayUnit or the DataProvider did not respond within a certain time limit. Often this is the case when the performance of the network is very poor. Maybe a slow wireless network?

     

    I then have to log into the network with my user name and password. Is there a smoother more logical way of doing this?
    I'm not sure whether I understand what you've described.

    Hi,

     

    according to the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks.

     

    1. Is this a disadvantage and should I first upgrade the second computor to Windows 7?
    No, this is not necessary.

     

    2. Must I start the process by removing the first installation of EFB followed by a completely new installation?
    No, just make sure that the DataProvider is updated to the latest version 1.3.2 SP1. If not, please use the latest update from the download page to do so. If the DataProvider is already updated, just use the latest installer from the download site (http://www.aivlasoft.com/download/Aivla ... P1.exe.zip) to install a DisplayUnit on your Vista computer. Then adjust the TCP/IP settings according to the "Installation manual".

     

    3. At what stage do I share the relevant folders?
    The folders on the DataProvider's computer must be shared before you attempt to connect a DisplayUnit to the DataProvider.

     

    4. What are the relevant folders which should be shared?

    Please read this:

    5. Are there any other points which should be considered?
    I don't think so ;-).

    AI Traffic - SB4 vs FSINN

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Kosta,

     

    I am using SB4. All others that were using SB4 were seen by EFB. All that were using FSINN weren't. AI aircraft monitor also shown only SB4 users. But FSX saw both.
    That is really new to me. I didn't know that it's a matter of the pilot client software. Will do some tests in the next few days. Thanks for the analysis.

     

    EFB is displaying the aircraft way further, compared to FSX.
    EFB can only show what FSX (SimConnect) provides to EFB. According to the description of the SDK (software development kit) the maximum distance at which AI-/Online traffic is provided by SimConnect is around 200 km (~ 108 NM). That is what EFB internally is using as a distance when requesting AI-/Online traffic data from FSX.

     

    If one is reducing the range in the pilot client software, this will result in less traffic that is sent towards to FSX. If one is reducing the range in EFB it will result in less traffic that is shown on the DisplayUnit's screen (although all traffic is read from SimConnect). But in no way EFB can show more traffic than FSX provides.

    Misplaced keyboard in Display Unit

    Robert,

     

    on my system I could solve the problem. It was due to the fact that I changed the position of my second monitor from previously right side to the left side of the main monitor. When I opened the touchscreen keyboard it still has been shown at the position of the right monitor (which no longer is at this position) and therefore I couldn't see the keyboard.

     

    Try to do the following:

    - Press the button "Keyboard" in EFB, the keyboard is shown but you can't see it

    - Now open Windows Start Menu > "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution"

    - Select the second monitor ("2") with your mouse and move it to the other side of the main monitor ("1")

    - Press "Apply", the monitor logically changes to the other side (mouse handling is now quite confusing ;-))

    - Do you see the keyboard now?

    - After moving the keyboard to the main monitor, revert back to the original screen settings.

     

    Hope this helps.

    RESOLVED: Suddenly horrible frames rate FSX is EFB a cause?

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    @Robert,

     

    yet suddenly it is stuttering ...
    Did you experience this stuttering from the very beginning or only since some time. If only since some time then my question is "what has changed on that system since then"? Any new software installed? Any configuration changed? Any hardware changed?

     

    I notice that EFB is still using "SIMCONNECT" in lieu of WideClient
    SimConnect is used by the DataProvider to connect to FSX locally on that machine where FSX is installed. The data transport to the DisplayUnit(s) works on an EFB internal communication layer based on TCP/IP.

    Therefore EFB doesn't request any further tools than what is installed on the harddisk through the EFB installer.

    Refresh time for online atc

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Hi Petr,

     

    Unfortunately no. We are not allowed to change the refresh time at our own. Vatsim allowed a refresh rate of every 2 minutes, whereas IVAO gave us only permit for a refresh every 5 minutes. I sent them an inquiry already asking for shorter intervals but they denied (Most probably due to the fact that EFB is commercial software).

    distance to target increases

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Henk,

     

    When you're flying along a route EFB checks whether the next waypoint has been passed or not yet. As long as the next waypoint is not yet passed the distance shown is taken from the aircraft to this "next" waypoint and then along the remaining route until the destination airport.

     

    If the next waypoint remains as "not yet passed" the distance increases since the aircraft is flying away from this "next" waypoint instead of flying towards this "next" waypoint. Typically this can happen at a "fly by" waypoint when you don't fly by close enough (if I recall correct the limit is around 2 NM).

     

    How to avoid the increasing distance? Use the direct-to function and select the "next" waypoint manually. As soon as you've selected the next waypoint, the calculation of the distance will be correct again.

    Hi JS,

     

    Adding an extra display doesn't need to reinstall the software. Just plug the cable of the second monitor in to the graphics card and then navigate to:

    "Windows Start Menu > Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution". There you will find a drop down menu "Multiple displays" where you have to select "Extend these displays". Then your second monitor should work.

    Hi Hendrik,

     

    if you encounter a difference between what is displayed in VATSpy and EFB (especially "Center" positions), please try the following:

     

    Take a screenshot from the "RouteSetup" > Check > "ATC Online" tab and also one from the "Unknown callsigns" tab.

    Then open your internet browser and load this page http://www.net-flyer.net/DataFeed/vatsim-data.txt

    Save this page as a textfile.

     

    Please send the following items to support@aivlasoft.com:

    1) the two screenshots

    2) the saved textfile

    3) the ServInfo.dat file from your system

     

    Maybe I can then figure out why no "Center" position is visible to you.

     

    Thanks.
