  1. The current software architecture and internal data structure does not allow it. Changing this would require to rewrite major parts of EFBv2 which is very unlikely. I personally don't see a real benefit of saving a SID, STAR, or APCH with a flight plan, because from my experience in most cases when using a saved flight plan again at all, either the situation (mainly winds) has changed and I have to select another SID, STAR, APCH, or even waypoints (fixes) have changed or are no longer available. In other words, it takes more time to check and update an existing flight plan than creating a new one according to the current situation and its requirements. Just my opinion.
  2. Would be nice to know which source it is accessing to get the frequencies for a certain airport.
  3. Thank you very much for your kind words, but MSFS has it already built-in. It just requires some configuration work. Here are some screenshots of the keyboard settings for the Cockpit Camera on my sim computer. There are 3 different areas to address: 1) moving/positioning the camera 2) saving the camera position 3) loading/activating the saved position 1) Moving/positioning the cockpit camera left, right, forward, backward is done with the translate commands. The German name 'Nach-Rechts' means the arrow key to the right, then following below, arrow key to the left, up, and down. Then use Page-Up and Page-Down to move the camera up and down: Combining the arrow keys with the CTRL key (in German STRG) allows you to rotate the camera: With the 10 assignments above, the cockpit camera can be moved at any place in the cockpit. 2) Saving the position of the cockpit camera. On my system the following key combinations have been assigned (STRG means CTRL, ZEHNERTASTATUR means the numeric keypad on the right of your keyboard). 3) Finally, loading a preset camera is done by pressing the keys on the numeric keypad as follows: IMPORTANT: Whenever you assign a key to a certain function, make sure this key is not yet assigned to any other function because this would lead to unforeseeable troubles. I remember when I have started to assign 'my' keys, there were a lot of preconfigured keys already which I first had to unassign. Hope this helps.
  4. I guess it would require to send appropriate information to the FMC which usually is a 'closed system' and does not provide any interface for third-party-tools. All FMC's which I have used provide a HOLD page where you can enter such information manually and the aircraft will follow these instructions.
  5. Hi Marc From what I have read so far about these CTAFs there is not much chance to have them displayed on the ATC ribbon. The ATC ribbon displays frequencies from active controller's which data is downloaded at intervals of 30 seconds but CTAF seems more to be static data. I have also not yet read about a single source (e.g. a text file with a key-value list) which would provide all the frequencies per airport.
  6. No, sorry, this is not possible. In which data format are these routes given?
  7. You're right Michael. As long as one is seeing a yellow caution on the sidebar 'AIRAC cycle', this option is greyed out for obvious reason. In one way or another this is also described in the manual "5 EN Client.pdf".
  8. As Stephen already laid out, EFB cannot run if the data folder is located on a drive which is synchronized with a cloud service (e.g. OneDrive). Please uninstall Client and Server and then reinstall them using the latest installers from the download page https://www.aivlasoft.com/download.html. When reinstall please take care where you select the data folder to be located. Don't use C:\Users\dsbut\OneDrive\Documents For any further issues please create a support-file from the Client and the Server and upload them here. Since this is a Client-Server application, we need information from both to get the overall picture. Thanks.
  9. Please have a look at the manual "5 EN Client.pdf", Section 12.2 "Profiles Editor"
  10. I can only confirm what Stephen already pointed out, the localizer identifier for runway 23 is IOL in the file, but should be IOLB. Runway 05 has the identifier ISM which seems to be right.
  11. Hi Bill did you already check on the Server's side (using the traffic monitor) whether the desired information is listed there? If so, maybe you have to alter the respective configuration by assigning another column number. For details please see the Client manual, 7.1.5. Traffic, starting at page 70.
  12. Although I have no more installation of P3D, I can try it. Nothing promised ... ;-)
  13. Thanks for providing the solution. I'm sure it will help others when they experience similar issues.
  14. Thanks for lettings us know that it now works.
  15. Hi Ray I guess that this one can help: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/4264-why-are-ils-approaches-not-showing/
  16. Maybe this one, from the FAQs, will help: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/3069-navdata-installation-paths/
  17. Traffic data is received from X-Plane, and if flying online with either VATSIM or IVAO, additionally via the respective online network (please see the Client manual for in-depth information about online traffic). In either situation it is beyond the scope of EFB how many aircraft symbols are available and where they are located.
  18. Hi Jeff Do you mean that only the aircraft on ground are depicted but not the aircraft which are airborne? Maybe a filter setting?
  19. I guess the images come from rainviewer.com. Unfortunately these images are raster images which cannot be applied onto a sphere without converting them before (which is quite time consuming and therefore not possible at runtime).
  20. Unfortunately a rebuild will not solve the issue because the fixes are taken from either Navigraph data or Aerosoft data and this data remains untouched. I 'fear' we have to live with what we get from them.
  21. I'm sorry, no. This is a Windows limitation. The only remedy of which I know is to reinstall MSFS to a location other than the default path (e.g. C:\MSFS).
  22. When creating the database, EFB is trying to eliminate such 'duplicates' but if their position differs only a little bit, than they will no longer be recognized as duplicates. From the screenshot provided I can see that not all of these doubled fixes have the same identifier which might be the cause for the 'duplicates'.
  23. EFB (and other add-ons using FSUIPC as an interface to MSFS) can only read/write to standard COM frequencies. If an aircraft does not use these standard 'offsets', we cannot do much.
  24. Hi Rolf it could also have been a formatting error on SimBrief's side. The XML-file which will be downloaded when importing a flight plan is also not set in stone and sometimes it is undergoing maintenance. Anyway, hopefully it works again for your flight back to EDDK.
  25. Thank you for testing EFBv2. Unfortunately I have no Steam installation so my advisory is also taken from the search function of this forum. I guess that this thread will help to figure out the required path (it is worth to read the entire thread):
