Jean-Louis, I'm not quite sure whether I've understand what you exactly mean. Which list of frequencies do you mean and from where can we get it? Is this a list of official real world frequencies?

Terry, no, the FormSettings.bin is unfortunately not the file you should remove. Please go to the following folder: C:\Users\[username]\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB\Settings. There you should find a file named "DisplayUnit_UserSettings.bin" and also one that has the postfix ".bak". You may delete both of them. Next time when the DisplayUnit is starting up it will show you the settings dialog. Hope this helps.

Terry, was it a clean install that you did on this machine, including SP4? It's important to have the same version for all DisplayUnits and the DataProvider. Maybe there is an old settings file for the DisplayUnit from an earlier installation? If so just quit the DisplayUnit (on the FSX computer), remove the settings file and then restart the DisplayUnit.

Marty, unfortunately the ALT-Tab won't work because the splash screen has the "TopMost" attribute set. This means that this window will always be in front of all others as long as it is visible. The settings dialog behind the splash screen is a so called modal dialog which means that only this window accepts input from the user. In other words we have a "deadlock" situation. As Richard mentioned there seems to be something not yet initialized which itself leads to this situation. So my focus is currently on trying to figure out which circumstances are causing this situation, hoping that I can advise how to prevent the situation (...).

Are you using the PMDG 737NGX? There seems to be a known problem with AI/Multiplayer traffic when using this bird. Please try running another aircraft to see whether there is a difference.

Richard, I just ran a couple of tests and as it seems there might happen a situation where behind the splash screen a message box is waiting for the users input (OK Button). Please try the following: Start up the DisplayUnit and when the splash screen is in front and all seems to be stopped just press the enter button on your keyboard. Since the message box already is having the focus it should listen to that keyboard input.

Hi, just double click on the splash screen and it will disappear.

Dave, I think that I see what you mean. This would need something like an alternative to the currently available save dialog, or at least a dialog that appears before the save dialog. If you were entering a text like "STN-NCE-XA" in this new dialog, then this would be taken as the file name for all the ticked flight plan handlers, and if you don't enter a text (or even if the dialog doesn't appear according to the users settings), the filenames would we applied as defined in the today's save dialog.

Dave, I'm not sure whether I understand the idea. Do you think of an additional text that should be added to the flight plan name or should it replace the name? Should it replace all the names if there are several flight plans that will be saved? Let's assume that you fly from EGKK to LFPG and you have 3 flight plans that will be saved when pressing "Save". According to the save dialog (and the current settings on my computer here) this will create the following file names: a) EFB plan: Gatwick (EGKK) to Charles-de-Gaulle (LFPG).efbr FSX plan: IFR Gatwick to Charles-de-Gaulle.pln c) PMDG rt2: EGKKLFPG01.rt2 Would you like to have a dialog which appears before the save dialog where you can enter some text and then this text will be added to the file names like this: a) EFB plan: Gatwick (EGKK) to Charles-de-Gaulle (LFPG) {added text}.efbr FSX plan: IFR Gatwick to Charles-de-Gaulle {added text}.pln c) PMDG rt2: EGKKLFPG01 {added text}.rt2

Holger, I'm not (yet) flying online with IVAO so I don't know their expectations concerning the flight plan format. Do they use others than ATS description (e.g. "NIK UM624 TOLEN UN873 JUIST UP729 DOSUR P729 LUGAS")?

Phil, thanks for your kind words. We're working hard to make version 2 even better .

Phil, thanks for the logfiles. As far as I can see you didn't have the SP4 installed yet? Could you give it a try?

Holger, sounds a bit strange to me since SP4 didn't change things around traffic items. The TRFC button is only available if: a) Settings > Charts > Traffic: AI/Multiplayer Traffic is ON (if you fly online, then you also have to tick the option below "online traffic" FSX must be connected/running

Glen, maybe this is also of interest: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/344479-why ... -with-ngx/ http://forum.avsim.net/topic/343684-simconnect/

Glen, I heard/read from others that it might be a problem of the new 737 NGX. Did you operate that aircraft?

Dave, I experienced in the past that sometimes AFCAD files are in FS9 format instead of FSX format. It seems that FSX can read both whereas EFB only knows the FSX format. Can you send this file to support@aivlasoft.com so I can have a look into it?

Eli, ahhh, now I see it So we have the situation that FSX has a ICAO code which doesn't match the r/w code from Navigraph ... A situation we hadn't before. It seems that this must be set on the "to-do-list" for version 2 (renaming of a airport code). Another idea would be to get some revised AFCAD files? Renaming the Navigraph files and their content could also be done, but this is a very inelegant, complicated and long-winded solution ... and all is lost with the next cycle.

As of per August 16th, 2011 a new service pack 4 is available from the download section: http://www.aivlasoft.com/download/index.html Changelog: http://www.aivlasoft.com/download/changelog.htm

Eli, a quick look into the folder "[FSX]\AivlaSoft\SIDSTARS" tells that there are no procedures for this airport provided by Navigraph (cycle 1108).

Marc, yes, an exclude function (based on wildcards) will be implemented in version 2.

Alex, I just had a look into the source code to see when the runway-buttons are greyed-out. They are greyed-out whenever there is no match between the runway identifier from the BGL data and the runway identifier from the Navigraph data. Some questions: - before the re-install, have you had a "runways.txt" file in use? - are you using third-party airports for all these locations?

Hiram, from what you describe it could be that some parts of the installation are missing. Did you first run the FULL installation package which you can download here: http://www.aivlasoft.com/download/Aivla ... p_v131.zip After this installation, please apply the latest service pack http://www.aivlasoft.com/download/Aivla ... P3.exe.zip If you are still not able to run the application could you please take a screenshot from which I can see the error message?

ask him ...

Karl, if the flight information system loses track of your aircraft and it takes the latest passed waypoint as the next, the distance on the panel for the destination increases although it should be decreased. In such a situation simply open the "blue button" on the main menu bar (e.g. KSEA Departure), select "Direct-To" and select the next waypoint manually. This way you can "tell" the system which is your next waypoint.

olé Jack, ServicePack 3 is already available. Please follow the link that has been provided by Travis. In a very short time we will release another SP4. It is still being tested by the beta testers. This will fix some minor bugs but it will not contain a new flight plan handler.
