Wycliffe, it's part of the "chart objects" menu below the "blue button" from the main menu .

Hi, according to the forum rules (see at the top of every page), please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks. Can you please send me all the logfiles to support@aivlasoft.com. You will find the files as follows: Windows-Start-Menu > All Programs > AivlaSoft > EFB > Logfiles. Can you also send me the following two files: - DataProviderSettings.bin - DisplayUnitSettings.bin The files are located as follows: C:\Users\[username]\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB\Settings

Hi, please check the settings on each side (DataProvider DisplayUnit). The settings should be similar to the following picture: EFB.[attachment=0]NetworkSettings.gif[/attachment] Green boxes: the values must be identical on both sides Red boxes: DataProvider > Any (it will listen to any computers within the same network), DisplayUnit > Remote (plus the name of the remote computer). Don't enter an IP address. If all these settings are correct, the problem is to be found outside of EFB (Firewall settings, Network settings, Router settings ...).

Dave, as far as I know Hongkong is not on the southern part of the hemisphere . A minus sign is wrong for the latitude of VHHX. The correct Lat/Long for VHHX is as follows: "VHHX 22.316959 114.202621". North latitudes and eastern longitudes are positive values South latitudes and western longitudes are negative values

Dave, turning off the firewall isn't a good idea! Please turn it ON again. Supporting network problems is a very difficult job, especially "online" via forum posts. I'm afraid that we must go "back to square one" where you asked "Does anyone know of a step by step tutorial on how to manage a home network". Is there a colleague in your neighborhood that could help you get this network running? I know from my experience that sometimes a problem can be solved in a couple of minutes but one must sit in front of the computers having an "overall" view on the several components of a network.

Hi Dave, That depends on your personal liking. If you have installed only one DisplayUnit than it doesn't matter where the folders are located, if you run a second DisplayUnit it might be helpful to have at least the routes folder at the same location. That seems to be OK. The sounds folder is used only by the DataProvider. Network: Did you already have a look into the Windows-firewall-settings on the DataProviders computer? I remember that I had a similar issue many months ago and I opened the firewall settings, then removed all the entries that were from the DataProvider. Then restarted the DataProvider just to force the firewall to show the dialog where I'm being asked whether I want to allow the DataProvider to access the network. That helped (at least on my computer). Other questions: Are you running a network with a domain controller? Do you have DHCP enabled? Are the DataProvider and the DisplayUnit within the same network address (192.168.0.xxx)

Hi Dave, maybe this helps: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=217 http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15247/co ... and-vista/

Salut Jean-Louis, of course the guys at IVAO are serious! But it seems to me that there is a lot of misunderstanding concerning the different file formats for FSX and FS9. Flight plans that are created by FSX are saved as XML files. Flight plans that are created by FS9 are saved as pure text files. Just to confuse ... both flight plan formats have the postfix "*.pln". Because FSX is capable of reading both formats many add-on developers and websites offer the possibility to create "FSX" plans although these plans are in fact FS9 text file plans. @ Andy, thanks for pointing in the right direction

good idea, ... done!

Hi all, this posting I found (needed!) this morning. Very interesting and very simple ... and very helpful . http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/bring-misplaced-off-screen-windows-back-to-your-desktop-keyboard-trick/ Have a great day.

@ all, it seems that the FS2004 plugin now works as expected . I will integrate the updated plugin into the next fixpack (version 1.2.1). If anyone needs the plugin before this fixpack will be released, please email me and I send you the plugin along with the instructions on how to install it.

Jean-Louis, thanks for the flowers, I like the function too

Hi, It's by design that when running EFB for the first time one must create a new aircraft from within the settings dialog. On the most right tab called "Miscellaneous", just beside the drop down menu "Current aircraft", there is a button called "Create new ...". Please see the "Installation and Configuration" manual, section 3, "Configuration", on page 24. Once an aircraft is created it can be selected as the "current aircraft" either from the settings dialog OR from the "Route Setup" dialog (there is also a button on the right side of the drop down menu, called "Edit ...". Hope this helps.

Hi all, points 1, 2, and 3 will be fixed with the next version ... (most probably as a fixpack 1.2.1).

Hi Ingo, thanks for the plan. A closer look into the several plans shows that the difference seems to be only in the waypoint lines. There are either 6 or 9 elements per line. I just changed the plugin so it should work now for both versions . @ Jean-Louis, Patrick, Dave, and Ingo To verify whether the plugin works fine I need you as a tester . Can you please send me an email to support@aivlasoft.com so I can return you the new plugin along with the instructions on how to use it? THANKS.

Hmmh, anybody else that can clarify the situation ??? Any help is appreciated

Hi all, in other words "SimRoutes.com" doesn't generate real FS9 plans? Or the other way round, are there several different flight plan formats for FS9? Obviously FS9 can read both of them (the flightplan created by SimRoutes.com and the flightplan created by Vroute)

Salut Jean-Louis, I just went over to "SimRoutes.com" and generated a simple FS9 flightplan to be sure which data format it is: [flightplan] title=LFBO to LFPO description=LFBO, LFPO type = IFR routetype = 3 cruising_altitude=0 departure_id=LFBO, N43* 37.74', E1* 21.83', +000499.00 destination_id=LFPO, N48* 43.52', E2* 21.57', +000291.00 departure_name=Blagnac destination_name=Orly waypoint.0=LFBO, A, N43* 37.74', E001* 21.83', +000000.00, waypoint.1=TBO, V, N43* 19.93', E000* 08.74', +000000.00, waypoint.2=GONUP, I, N43* 27.65', E000* 45.53', +000000.00, waypoint.3=TOU, V, N43* 40.85', E001* 18.59', +000000.00, waypoint.4=FISTO, I, N44* 27.68', E001* 13.63', +000000.00, waypoint.5=PERIG, I, N45* 07.03', E000* 58.17', +000000.00, waypoint.6=DIBAG, I, N45* 47.37', E000* 47.25', +000000.00, UT210 waypoint.7=TUDRA, I, N46* 32.33', E000* 46.85', +000000.00, UT210 waypoint.8=BEVOL, I, N47* 00.72', E000* 55.85', +000000.00, UT158 waypoint.9=AMB, N, N47* 25.09', E001* 02.46', +000000.00, UT158 waypoint.10=LFPO, A, N48* 43.52', E002* 21.57', +000000.00, You see that especially the lines beginning with "waypoint.nn" are quite different from the plan you provided. There is also no information about "AppVersion=9.1.40901". The later information I've only seen in FSC flightplans. Can anyone shed some light on me?

Salut Jean-Louis, thank you for posting the flight plan. As far as I can see this is not a "real" FS2004 plan but a plan created by FSC 8.x? Can you verify this?

Hi Terry, from EFB's point of view one must distinguish between "Save" and "Activate". When pressing the "Save" button EFB currently saves a flightplan only in its own data format (*.efbr) and this format is only used to re-use a flightplan within EFB. When pressing "Activate" EFB is doing the following steps: 1) it saves this flightplan as an FSX flightplan (*.pln) to the folder according to the current settings 2) the flightplan will be loaded into the FSX flight planner and Garmin GPS as well (if this option is selected)

Hi Dean, did you try to first press the "New" button at the left bottom of the dialog?

Michel, OK, no problem, so let me first ask you some questions: - this is the first time that you try to install the demo version of EFB? I'm asking this because if you already had a trial period somewhere in the past, then we must not search for the problem around the firewall . - What operating system do you run (Windows 7, Vista, XP ...) - Which Anti-Virus program is installed on your computer? - Do you run a separate hardware firewall?

Hi Michel, If this is the first time that you try to run the demo then I guess that this must be a problem with the firewall settings on your computer. To properly install the "Demo-License" the DataProvider must connect to a time server using port 13. This port must be "open" for an outgoing connection attempt. Can you please check this?

Hi Andy, the screenshots are looking quite impressive ... and all is running on the iPad . I will try to address the items that you mentioned with a next version. The idea with "buttons to choose" sounds very good - and hopefully it is simple to implement . Thanks!

Hi Michel, as far as I know from my experience an upgrade to a higher version of the .net framework should always be downward compatible. What do you mean with "Version 1.2.0 doesn't allow demo mode"?
