    Navigraph AIRAC cycle 1103

    Navigraph AIRAC cycle 1103

     

    Due to some misunderstanding between Navigraph and AivlaSoft, today the 1103 AIRAC cycle has been released in a new data format.

     

    This new data format can only be read by the new EFB version 1.3.0. The current version 1.2.1 will crash if it is used with the 1103 cycle. We are working flat out to release this new version as fast as possible.

     

    To prevent further problems with the 1103 cycle, Navigraph has temporarily removed the 1103 cycle from their download page.

     

    As soon as EFB 1.3.0 has been released, the 1103 cycle will be available again.

     

    Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks a lot for your understanding.

    DU - Problem after network disconnection

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Freddy,

     

    EFB is currently not designed to be able to reset a current route automatically after a new start of the DU while the flight is still in progress. Although there is a possibility (*1) to "reset" after such a situation, in my opinion we should concentrate on the network problem to avoid the described situation.

     

    a) Are you running a wireless connection or with network cables?

    B) What are the specs of the XP machine?

    c) What are the values for the timeout settings? You can read these values from the DU and DP settings ("TCP/IP" tab).

     

    (*1) - After restart/reconnect of the DU, use the "Direct-To" function and select the next waypoint towards the destination.

    Data provider location

    Hi Ben,

     

    I try to write down the facts we know:

    A) on your XP computer ...

    - the DataProvider is running, or it has been running at least once.

    - the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\Local Settings\Application Data\AivlaSoft\EFB\AivlaSoft.Efb.DataProvider" contains 13 files (named "a" to "m")

    - if you run "Windows Explorer" you can navigate to this folder and can see all these 13 files

    - this folder is shared for "everybody" (permission "read")

     

    B) on your Vista computer ...

    - If you run the Windows Explorer you can navigate to that shared folder on the XP computer (via Network).

    - if you have a look into that shared folder (using Windows Explorer) you don't see these 13 files

     

    Is that correct?

    Hi,

     

    According to the forum rules, please sign your post with your real first name. I like to know to whom I talk ;-). Thanks.

     

    What you describe sounds to me as the DataProvider was not yet running and therefore it could not create the necessary files. Did you run the DataProvider before you tried to connect the DisplayUnit?

     

    The folder that must be shared on your XP machine is: C:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\Local Settings\Application Data\AivlaSoft\EFB\AivlaSoft.Efb.DataProvider

    EFB on a 7 inch screen

    Salut Guillaume,

     

    Full screen mode is only available if the DisplayUnit is installed on another computer than FSX. This is not because of EFB, this is FSX-/Windows behavior.

     

    I'm aware of the small space especially on the approach chart. Did you already see that there is a possibility to hide some of the panels in approach chart view?

     

    We're currently discussing new ideas for the user interface, but this will need a complete redesign of the application and this will take a lot of time.

    Rwys LLBG

    Torsten,

     

    EFB shows/enables only the runway-buttons for which an approach procedure is available. A quick look into the Navigraph cycle 1102 tells me that for LLBG only the following procedures are available:

     

    VOR/DME Rwy 12

    VOR/DME Rwy 30

    ILS Rwy 12

    RNAV Rwy 30

    LDA Rwy 30

     

    No procedures for runways 03 and 21.

     

    Hope this helps.

    DU initialization takes too much time on remote unit

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Salut Jean-Louis,

     

    If you have installed a base version (e.g. 1.0.0, or 1.1.0 or 1.2.0) then you always can install an update of a higher version. That means that you may download the latest update from the download section, then run this installer on your FSX computer (DisplayUnit AND DataProvider) and also on the remote machine (DisplayUnit only). Then start the DataProvider so it can create the necessary index files and wait until it has been restarted. Then start the DisplayUnit on your local machine, then the DisplayUnit on your remote machine. First of all after everything is up and running, please check the versions as you described in your post (settings/info about). They all must be according to the versions listed on the website. Can you confirm these versions?

    Aircraft Select

    Hi Torsten,

     

    did you try to first press the "New" button?

     

    If no aircraft is available in the list and you would like to add a new aircraft you must press the "New" button before you can add the manufacturers name and the model/type.

     

    If there are already some aircraft in the list, you must first select the aircraft, then press "Update" or "Delete", whatever you like to do with that aircraft.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Salut Jean-Louis,

     

    Would you please let me know what I can do
    Speed up your network! 8-)

     

    Seriously, it seems that your network performance or the computer that runs the DU is very slow. When the DU is starting up, it reads the data from the folder "\\Computer\Share\....\AivlaSoft.Efb.DataProvider". If that takes - as you describe - 30+ minutes, than I assume that somewhere must be a bottleneck. I can assure that it is not the DU because I have several test computers running the DU separately from the DP without any problems. What are the specs of the DU computer that you run?
