    [Solved] Connecting

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Ed,

     

    the last line on the DataProvider's window does not say anything about the connections. It means that the DataProvider is now ready and is listening to incoming connection attempts.

     

    Re "sharenames":

    If you open the Windows Explorer on the DisplayUnit's computer, can you see a node called "Network"?

    If "yes", can you navigate from this node to the DataProvider's computer and there to the folder "AivlaSoft.Efb.DataProvider"?

    Problem with first installation.

    Bernd,

     

    I forgot to describe how you can uninstall it "manually":

     

    1) Delete the folder: C:\Program Files\AivlaSoft

    2) Delete the folder: C:\Users\[username]\Documents\AivlaSoft

    3) If available, make a backup copy of the following file (it's your keyfile):

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\AivlaSoft\EFB\AivlaSoft_Efb_V1.dlsc

     

    4) Delete the folder: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\AivlaSoft\EFB

     

    5) If you are familiar with the "regedit" then you can also remove the following key:

    "HKCU\Software\AivlaSoft"

     

    That's all what the installer is doing.

     

    Hope this helps

    Navigraph cycle 1104 not showing in data provider

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Hi Franck,

     

    could you please verify the following:

    - From the DataProvider's settings, select the "Folders" tab

    - Navigate to the folder which is shown in the field "Navigraph data" (use Windows Explorer)

    - There should be a subfolder called "NavData"

    - Within this folder (NavData) you find a file named "cycle_info.txt"

     

    If you open this file the first 3 lines tell you the version of the cycle that is used by the DataProvider. On my system currently this is as follows:

    AIRAC cycle    : 1104
Revision       : 2
Valid (from/to): 07/APR/2011 - 04/MAY/2011

     

    What is shown on your computer?

    Cancelling a direct to.

    a) As soon as a "Direct-To" has been selected, all waypoints along the route until the direct-to waypoint will immediately be marked as passed.

    B) If the option "Create Garmin flight plans" is activated the Garmin flight plan is also recreated considering this latest change.

    c) Several items in the flight information system must be recalculated too.

     

    Currently there is no "undo" function for all this.

    Hi Brad,

     

    you're right, if we were only looking at the vertical profile view ;) . Plan view is depicting and naming the correct FAF "MILTT" whereas the profile view only shows the name of the collocated outer marker "BO" (NDB). This is due to the fact that I had to make some compromises because of too less space when drawing the profile view. So I decided to only show the name of the navaid.

    Problem with my Flight Plans in FSINN when using EFB

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Hi Don,

     

    I don't know the internals of FSInn so I can only talk about EFB.

     

    Whenever you activate or change a route in EFB the following items will happen:

     

    a) IF on the DataProvider's side the option "Create FSX flight plans" is activated, a flight plan will be written into the folder: "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files". The filename is as follows (e.g. a flight plan from Zurich to Geneva): "EFB Zurich (LSZH) to Geneva (LSGG).pln". It always has a prefix of "EFB".

     

    B)IF on the DisplayUnit's side the option "Create Garmin GPS flight plans" is activated, an additionally flight plan will be written into the same folder but its unique name is as follows: "EFB_current_garmin.pln". This is the flight plan that is loaded into FSX. At the moment of its loading into FSX it is visible in the Garmin GPS system.

     

    As I already mentioned I don't know much about the behavior of FSInn but I guess that it observes the FSX flight plan folder for any changes. As soon as it detects a change it loads the latest flight plan? I'm not sure whether it happens this way, it's only a guess ...

     

    Hope this helps to find a solution.

    STAR approch

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Leif,

     

    today I finally found the time to fly the route you provided. The answer from my last post seems to be wrong (one should not give an answer without having a look into the source code ;-)).

     

    I used a default 737 for this flight. Cruise level has been set to FL210 and initially I didn't add neither a STAR nor an approach. Above 10'000 feet I set a speed (IAS) of 290 kts on the MCP. This gave me a groundspeed of 385 kts when I reached T/C. At this point the T/D was calculated to be just at "ROSBI". While on cruise level I added the STAR (ROSB3C) and the approach. The T/C has then been recalculated to be approx. 8 NM from TNO towards to my position and also on the chart it was clearly evident that the T/C has been moved. 20 NM before T/D the FIP showed a descent rate of -2400 ft/min to be at FL120 at TNO. I reached TNO exactly at FL120 with a groundspeed of 340 knots only followed the instructions given by the FIP.

     

    In my opinion there was nothing wrong nor was anything missing nor is it a bug (maybe I didn't understand exactly what the problem on your flight was?)

    Leif,

    thanks for the route and the explanation. The difference between the two arrival routes is that ROSB3C ends with "vectors" (which is an "unknown" position) whereas ROSB3N ends at a known position (LAMOX). EFB cannot determine the distance that must be flown if the end point is not defined and therefore it cannot adjust the T/D.

    [solved] KBOS not available in FSX

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Hi Brad,

     

    the plan you sent to me just loaded fine into EFB. It is a FSX plan which must be loaded using the FSX flight plan reader. Please proceed as follows:

    - Open "Route Setup"

    - Press "Select"

    - Open drop down menu "saved routes (select type)"

    - Select "Flight Simulator FSX"

    - Now navigate to the folder where the flight plan is saved and select this plan

     

    Now it should be read. On my computer I then got the following warning box:[attachment=0]KBOS_RwyAssignments.jpg[/attachment]

     

    Is this the same that appeared on your computer or was it a different warning?

    Maybe you can provide a screenshot?
