The demo is fully functional, except from the 30-days limit, so you should receive any updates. According to the change log long procedure names are allowed since v2.3.134. I also did a test to verify it again. So either your installation is not up to date, or there is another issue than the OP has reported.

The file 'A:\Prepar3D v5\scenery\base\scenery\magdec.bgl' is part of the P3Dv5 installation. If this file cannot be found then the file 'magvar.bin' cannot be created by the DbBuilder. Therefore the second error is just a subsequent error. Check your P3D installation.

Did you update both, Client and Server to the latest version 2.3.136 ?

It will be fixed with next update.

Hi Ray, it would be possible as long as a waypoint's coordinate has no minutes. But as soon as a waypoint reads like 1540N06022W the short 'five character' format will not work.

It's obviously a design problem of MSFS and unfortunately the 'registry fix' does not help. To my knowledge the only remedy for this is to re-install MSFS to a location which has a very short path (e.g. C:\MSFS).

Hi Jeff, thanks for this information. I doubt that we can do much in this regard. As you already mentioned, it's the weather data which is downloaded from NOAA. When I have a look in this file I can clearly see that there are airports which provide METAR very close to real time, and there are airports which have a delay more than 1 hour.

Checklists must be assigned to a certain aircraft profile. Please see the Client manual "5 EN Client.pdf", chapter 12.2.5 "Checklists"

Thanks for uploading the support files. For which type of simulator do you want to create a database? MSFS (Steam) or P3Dv5?

Could you please provide the support file from the Server. Thanks.

EFB reads the airport data from MSFS and creates the airport's ground layout based on this data. It's right that the navdata (SID, STAR, Approach) is depicted based on either Aerosoft NavDataPro (Lufthansa LIDO), or Navigraph FMS data (Jeppesen). EFB does not read the NavBlue navdata which is part of MSFS. This is because NavBlue navdata is not equally complete as either Lufthansa LIDO or Jeppesen, and MSFS does not update it regularly every 28 days like the r/w AIRAC cycles. EFB is provided with a old AIRAC cycle from Aerosoft NavDataPro and from Navigraph FMS data, in order to allow a fully functional program. Whether you need the regular updates or not, depends on your personal preferences. From a technical point of view it is not necessary, you can use EFB with the old, outdated AIRAC cycles which come with the installer. Yes, unfortunately this is true. EDIT: See next post below. As mentioned above, EFB does not consider the NavBlue data from MSFS. Yes, but the navdata which comes with the installer is outdated. Please also read the MSFS limitations here: https://www.aivlasoft.com/msfs-limitations.html

Thanks for uploading the support files. There is no error or warning logged in these files, so the issue must be beyond EFB. Two things caught my attention: 1) Between logfile-1 and logfile-2 is a time gap of more than 6 months. Logfile-2 ends 2022-08-10 where logfile-1 starts at 2023-03-03. If this is true and you didn't run EFB for more than 6 months you can neglect this. If not, maybe an automatic backup program is running on your computer which unintentionally reverted an old backup, and maybe is the cause for other issues? 2) There are many "FSUIPC connect and disconnect" sections logged, but all of them without errors or warnings. Do you often restart MSFS, or do you use the so called 'active pause' from the inflight menu? Active pause is known to be the cause for interruptions so it is recommended to not use it. If you want to take a break, just press "ESC" on your keyboard and the sim is also paused.

Uninstalling does not remove the license key for user convenience. After reinstall the key becomes active automatically this way. As long as the menu item 'license' is greyed out means that the license certificate has been recognized as valid and therefore you won't need to enter the key again.

You're welcome. I'm glad to read that it works again.

Please comply to the forum rules and write your posts in English. Other users who do not speak German will be grateful to you ... Yes, we need the so called support file.

You can do this. Just copy the airports.bin from the Server's computer (C:\Users\Fred\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\DbBuilder\Ready\MSFSNG), to C:\Users\Fred\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Client\Database on the Client's computer. Important: You also have to copy the file 'Filelist.txt' from the same source folder to the same target folder as mentioned above. Regarding the network issue, please also check all cables (if using a cable network). I had the same issue some month ago and I searched for hours until it turned out to be an old cable which did not reach the required throughput. Just an idea ...

According to the logfile there was a timeout detected. Timeout happens whenever the transmission takes longer than 2 minutes per file. Please check AntiVirus, Windows Firewall and Network configuration.

I haven't found a way yet to distinguish between such static aircraft and 'real' aircraft.

Hi Pete see this one from the FAQs: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/3046-how-to-create-a-support-file/

Hello Pete, the add-ons.cfg file contains a wrong entry on line 2. [DiscoveryPath.0] is not within quotation marks and it also has not a boolean value. The logfiles you provided are not from EFB. To automatically collect all the necessary logfiles, please create a support file. Thanks.

Currently we do not have plans to introduce this functionality in the near future, but we will keep it on our radar and probably reconsider our decision if we get more requests regarding this functionality.

More or less the same questions regarding LSGG has been asked by you already two times in the past: May 2019: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/3608-lsgg-procedures-taxi-ways/ June 2019: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/3655-lsgg-ils-04-22/

Uninstall EFB from your old PC, then install EFB on your new PC. You may use the same key.

Please see the license agreement, paragraph 3: 3.1 The licensee shall receive the personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to install and use the software according to the documentation on a single computer. The use on different machines at the same time is prohibited.

I'm currently flying the Analog King Air equipped with the PMS GNS430/530. It still accepts flight plans created with EFB. EDIT: if you are using this GPS system you have to check in the Content Manager whether the Working Title variant is already installed. I have uninstalled the WT-variant.
