  1. Usually, if FSX sees KORS and the corresponding files, the data provider update should do too.

    Make sure to have all scenery entries activated when running the DP update, so that he is looking for every .bgl there is.

    Now, If you exchange the bgl files later (maybe by opening the KORS config panel and altering some settings there), the EFB database still contains the "old" state, sometimes leading to files not being found anymore.

  2. He there.

     

    I´ve been using EFB in Trail mode for some days now and really looking forward buying it.

    The interface is pretty straightforward and the data display together with a current version of an AIRAC cycle is great.

     

    But, as any (hopefully) attentive customer I came across two points:

     

    1. I can´t get a display of my current position in Pause-Mode of FSX. I think this is "by design" and maybe could be changed to an aircraft symbol on the last known position. I´ve seen this on other programs connecting via SimConnect (e.g. the freeware "Plan-G" with its moving-map) so it should be possible.

    It would be nice to review SID and STAR or just your route without having to grab the joystick and flying blind when switching to the window with the charts.

    Off course, the Autopilot would help but not all birds I´m flying have one installed (e.g. PBY Catalina) and sometimes I re-plan a flight and would like to see my current position on the map.

    Edited: I have to correct myself. I had this aircraft symbol in Pause-Mode on my last flight, but I don´t know why it was absent the ones before. :oops:

     

    2. The aircraft symbol is really huge. Maybe there´s room for an option to change its size.

     

    3. I was watching my RAM-consumption the other day and realized that EFB with its both modules consumes about 550MB of RAM. Although I have enough RAM installed to run FSX and some addons´n tools, it´s quite heavy I think.

    A change on this won´t be that easy and - as the amount of the average installed RAM rises every day - may not be necessary, but I liked to mention it even though.

     

    My impression of this software is really good though it may appear pricey on the first view. But as far as I can see, there´s just no competitor for generating charts on AIRAC data including a nice and flawless interface and easy network-setup.

    And off course: You offer a trial-period, which is a big step towards interested costumers.

     

    Keep it up :)
