Hello,
Is there a way to increase the download interval for getting the real world weather? The metar showed in Aivlasoft EFB is always older than the one published on the NOAA website. Even manually clicking on the Refresh button (settings - global) doesn't load the latest weather from NOAA. It looks like this button doesn't work at all.
The funny thing is that if I (as a workaround) select a different weather provider like for example ActiveSky click apply the correct and latest metar gets loaded and correctly displayed in the EFB, so the METAR from ActiveSky is newer then the METAR "loaded" from NOAA
Thanks,

No, the files as such work as per dscription now. To my knowledge there are no more bugs in the coding.
Thanks for the info!

Thank you for your reaction!
In the subforum there's something mentioned in a topic that there are some bugs, are they still there or already fixed? Maybe that's the reason why there are so less contributions and little interest in making more minima files.
EFB v2 is such a great product, come on guys make the community also like that, and help each other providing more files we can share 😉

Hello,
Could somebody please point me in the right direction to find some more real minima files? Or are the 4 files, above in the contributions subforum provided by Aivlasoft, really the only ones?
Thanks,
Björn

Yes, maybe it's just me I tought it would be cool to have an all in one solution and don't have to open a dozen of windows, because I already have thousands of windows open and programs running in the background while flightsimming
-
Yes I understand what you're saying. But, there's also this great function implemented to view my own files (documents library) And while I was playing around with this I got the idea wouldn't it be great to have the possibility to have also a web view here
-
Okay, you're right. Ofcourse the scratchpad is very useful for this kind of temporary information. But I don't know if you already read one of my post in another topic. It was about the initial climb altitude normally found on the charts and not displayed on the SID info of the EFB. I understand that the software can't get this info out of the airac circles, but if we could make OWN notes we could (for example) provide ourselves with missing information we normally get from the charts
-
A great solution for this "problem" would be to create the possibility to insert own notes at the procedures page (SID)
Then everyone can insert the info he needs there from the navigraph charts
-
I don't think you understand my question. Opening this calculation website was an example. I just want to have the possibility to open a website
-
Great feature!
Please explain to me what's the use of a scratchpad that doesn't save my notes?

The scratchpad doesn't save the notes. Everything is deleted after a new start

What is the advantage of having a webbrowser within EFB? Just open the browser of your choice, resize the windows and you are there. I'm not sure if even RL EFB offer such an option.
Hi,
The advantage is very easy: I don't have to open another window with all the already open windows while flightsimming......
And for me personally the main reason is I want to use an internet site for performance calculations because topcat hasn't the profiles for the fslabs planes
-
Hello,
It would be awesome to have/get the possiblility to open a webbrowser directly in the EFB, is this maybe a feature that's on your agenda for future releases?
Thank you very much,
Björn

Hello,
Maybe I'm missing something, but is it possible to create private notes somewhere in the EFB (and to save them)?
Thank you,
Björn

Hello,
I contacted aivlasoft support via email and also through the contact form on the webpage, but unfortunately there's no reply, response or whatever.
On the webpage it says to contact support for problems with a license key, but it's difficult as nobody responses.
How should I contact support?
EDIT: Problem solved!! Thank you
Best regards,
Björn

Hello Urs,
I don't understand. This morning I tried another install and now everything works fine. I now can open both programs and the validation also succeeded.
I'm sorry for making problems that aren't there.
Greetings,
Björn

Hi Urs,
After installation of EFB on my new PC I get after starting the dataprovider or the display unit a little popup screen that appears and only says "The path" and nothing else.....
I only can close the popup but either the display unit or the dataprovider start.
Uninstalling the program and a reinstall doesn't help.
Can you please help me?
greetings,
Björn

Hi,
After installing the (new) Airac 1108 I still do not see the SID/STARS etc.
What do I have to do?
Björn
EDIT: never mind, my mistake, works alright. Sorry for "spamming the forum"

Gentlemen,
In the Dutch IVAO forum somebody gave me the following possible solution:
Insert this line:
EHAA:W:NL:Amsterdam:Radar:52.8:4.6
into the firs.dat file of the Eye.
I will test it next time Amsterdam Radar is online.
Björn
-
Hi Urs,
Isn't it possible to ad the EHAA_*_CTR to your datafile?
You see, I really try everything before going to vatsim
LOLBjörn

Hi Urs,
Thank you for your fast reply (even on Sunday).
Now I understand why I didn't see him. To bad that I still have to use IVAO'S Eye to see if there is some other ATC online.
Maybe sometime there will be a solution for this.
Have a good Sunday evening,
Björn

Hi,
Today I discovered that EFB doesn't show ALL online traffic.
Because, I saw a lot of online ATC and pilots, but for example Amsterdam Radar was online on EU12 (IVAO) and this was not shown in EFB.
I had a bad confrontation with the controller because I didn't contact him.........

Hi,
After a clean new instal of the EFB everything works fine again.
Strange thing, but now I'm happy again
Thanks for thinking for possibilities with this problem!

Have you got "Create Garmin GPS flight plans" enabled in EFB then because it might not be selected by default.
It is in the Misc tab of the EFB display unit settings menu.
Yes, this option is enabled.
After activating a FP it is also directly (exported) into my Airbus.
Just the Direct To function not.
It's strange, maybe it's again a bug in this "useless" Airbus X

Hello Urs,
Thank you for your quick reply!
That's something I was already thinking about.
The good thing is that the EFB also can display the ActiveSky weather so the weather displayed is always the same as in the Simulator, although sometimes it's not always the most current weather, something I've to except.
Thanks again!
