Urs I am sending you more information via support. You will get it shortly

Sirs When I try to attach the efbr file I get a message saying "The extension efbr is not allowed" so i do not know is the file actually got attached. So I copied and pasted the content of the efbr file below. Tom [AivlaSoft EFB Route - www.aivlasoft.com] //Saved 3/14/2013 2:22:32 PMz, EFB Version=1.3.7.21189 //AIRAC cycle 1101 / Rev.1, Valid 13/JAN/2011 - 09/FEB/2011 Format=1 ATS=KDAL GARL3.GGG AWDAD6.BTR KMSY Generator=ATS Description Origin=KDAL Destination=KMSY CruiseAltitude=33000 DepartureProcedureInfo=13R|GARL3|GGG| ArrivalProcedureInfo=10|AWDAD6|BTR ApproachProcedureInfo=10|RNAV Rwy 10Z|RQR [END]

I will send you the plan today. Tom

Sirs OS is Win7 64 bit Ultimate The attached IFly flight plan contains no SID, STAR or waypoints. This is a first time installation using OS Win7. I had no problems with OS Win XP. Just a guess but it may be an Export Module problem. I have done 3 installations very carefully going by your installation procedures. When I load the KDAL-KMSY file into the IFly FMC it get only the origination and destination airports in the FMC. It appears to be the same on any aircraft when I try to load the file. Help Pleas Tom

I just emailed, KDFWKSEA001.rt2., to support. Thanks Tom

I have Aivlasoft ver 1.3 Navigraph cycle 1103 for Aivlasoft and the PMDG 747-400. I have not been able to make a flight plan that is correct. I can make a flight plan using the Aivlasoft software being careful to put in the departure rwy and destination rwys. I then save the plan as an rt2 file using both the airport and procedures option. I save the plan to the PNDG Flightplan folder as an rt2 file. File is like KDFWKPHL001. I then bootup the PMDG 747 and put KDFWKPHL001 into the FMC scratch pad and click on co Route. The FMC processes the file but many of the waypoint that are in the Aivlasoft file are missing errors show in the scratch pad . Sometimes when processing other Aivlasoft flight plans files with the PMDG 747 FMC I may get only two or three of the waypoints. Am I missing a file? Help would be appreciated Tom

Hello The Flightplan folder for the LD 767 resides in the LevelD folder under navdata/flight plans. When I make a flight plan with AlviaSoft, the plan is saved to the default FS flight plan folder with a .pln extension. If instead I save the ALviaSoft flightplan to the LevelD folder as mentioned above, boot up the LD767, I cannot load this plan into the LD 767 FMC for reason I do not know. Comments from anyone appreciated Tom

The flight plan is an FSX plan I assume from what you are saying that once you have prepared a flight plan exactly as you want it and press the SAVE button, you cannot save the flight plans as KDFW-KPHX-1 and make it work with the CoolSky MD80 FMC.

Sirs Per the CoolSky MD80 manual, one form of flight plan must be as follows: KDFW-KPHX-1. Is is possible to save a plan with your program in the above format. If so, please tell me how. Regards Tom

Thanks for the inputs. I looked at those files and I just could not figure them out. When in doubt reinstall. I reinstalled FSC version 8.6 and she works great. Must have been some missing or corupted files in the folder. Actually I dont use FSC any more but EFB instead. I would have to rate EFB much higher than FSC although FSC is a great program. Tom

Hello I have been using EFB for some time now and I have not tried to load FSC until today. FSC want load. It gets just to the point of showing the map then the program goes back to desk top. Would this problem be related in anyway with EFB? Open for suggestions. Regards Tom

The ATC routing is very nice. As you know FlightAware gives the exact flight plan of and aircraft on a particular flight. All I have to do is copy the FlightAware flight plan to clipboard and past it in EFB as an ATC route and make a few changes to make it work. I also use Flight Commander to create flight plans for FSX, convert them to XML format and load them into EFB. I really do not think Reality GNS 430/530 will load EFB flight plans, however in my first post I find that EFB can read a GNS430/530 flight plan. On the GNS 430/530 you right press the mouse on the FLP button and that saves the plan to the default FSX flighplan folder.

Hello I was really suprised that by using the Reality GNS 430/530 that I could create a flight plan that EFB can read. That is great Flight plans created with the GNS 430/530 have very strange names and they reside in the same default folder as all FSX flight plans. The manual describes how to load EFB flight plans into the Garmin. I assume that this is the default gps unit. I have replaced all the default gps's with either the Reality GNS 430/530. My question is can a flight plan cereated by EFB be loaded into the Reality GNS 430/530. If this is possible how is it done. Best Regards Tom

Problem solved. When all else fails make a backup copy of your FSX.CFG file and then delete the FSX.CFG file. Reboot FSX and it will build another. Thats what I did and now the program in running very smooth with no stutters on my second monitor. Just a slight hit of FPS which is to be expected. There are all kinds of recommendations on how to change the FSX.CFG file for better performance. I believe my default CFG file is fine just as it is. This has got to be one of the top addon's for FSX. Tom

In my case as previously desctibed the stutters are in sync with the miniture aircraft moving along the EFB display. You can count on it every time. I have three other moving map programs where simconnect is used to show the miniture aircraft on the map. I run all of these programs on a seperate monitor, not a network. With these other programs on the second diaplay FSX runs very smooth The altitude and airspeed indications also stutter in sync with the miniture aircraft. I have run with no weather and all sliders set at minimal. That does not help. The only way I can run EFB without getting stutters is to run it on the same monitor as FSX. When running like this FSX runs very smooth. I always run FSX in the windowed mode. Regards Tom

Ok, sorry your are having the same problem. It is very annoying. I have three moving map type programs and all of them run very smooth on my second monitor. Airiasoft's EFB runs very smooth if the map is on my main monitor. Surely someone can give us some leads as to what the problem might be. Actually this is the best map type program that has hit the FSX. I love it. Airiafoft's how about some input. Thanks Tom

Ok I may have gotten a little ahead of myself so here is what I found out and it is not an FSX problem. If I run FSX, the dataprovider and the EFB display on the same monitor everything is great and no stutters and it runs very smooth. I have always tried to run the EFB program on two monitors. I normally use an NVIDA Control Panel to set up the second monitor and just drag the EFB display and dataprovider over to the second monitor. When I try to run with EFB display and and the dataprovider thats when I get the stutters. I then set up the second monitor by using the method described in display/setting in windows. Well I did this and I still get the stutters. Has anyone who is using a second monitor have this stutter problem? If not may I ask how are you set up on that second monitor. Regards Tom

I will try the TCP settings But the stuttering I do not have this problem with other moving maps that dipects an aircraft flying on the moving map course. My processor is an AMD running at 2.4 gigs GForce 800GT video card with 512 megs of memory RAM 2 gigs with additional ram set on two drives. Since this aircraft stuttering is in sync with the red aircraft movements on the display and the stuttering disappears when I turn off the aircraft, I do not think it is a problem related to my FSX setup. My opinion is this problem should be looked at. Regards Tom

Problem no1 The EFB display will suddenly disconnect. I have to restart it and reload the flight plan that I was using. Problem no2 On the EFB map the red aircraft stutters which I know is perfectly normal and I have no problem with this. All such map programs do the same thing. The problem is that FSX stutters in sync with the red aircraft on the EFB display. You can see it very easily if you look at a wing tip against the terrain. Another way is that when you are ascending or descending the altimeter stutters in sync with the red aircaft on the EFB display. Can anything be done about these two problems by just changing some of my dataprovider or EFB settings. Its a great program but the above items need to be fixed if possible. Regards Tom

Urs On page 8 of 13 in section 6 reads as follows: [sID | DCT]: Use either SID or DCT to define the first segment between the origin airport and the first enroute waypoint This says either SID or DCT. If you cannot use a SID then it should not say so. This is confusing. I have made sereral flight plans by just using DCT and they are fine. When just using DCT and after I get the route I can add the departure and arrival just fine. The problem is that I have not been able to make the plan show both the departure and arrival on the enroute page at the same time, ie show the complete route. Is there a way to show the complete route by the above method? Importing a Flight Plan from FSX, will show the complete route on the enroute page. Regards Tom

Hello This is a very good program and well worth the money. I use Flightaware to see all the waypoint for a particular flight. Flightaware provides all the waypoint of a particular flight. An example of a flightplan from KDFW to KBOS is as follows. NOBLY3 LIT J131 PXV J29 JHW J82 ALB GDM3 How do I copy and paste this flight plan into the display unit. Tom

I looked in another thread and I think I have found the answer. In the DataProvider under extras/miscellaneous, there is a box for a check mark to synchronize UTC time. I breifly tried this and it seams to work. Could you please tell me why it is important to have FSX and EFB synchronized. Tom

Hello I purchased EFB yesterday and I had no problem getting it up and running. A lot of time is saved in the cockpit and I love this program. I am a bit confused on the time. Sometimes at say 9:00pm at night I boot up FSX but I want to reset the time so the flight will be in the daylight hours. After booting up FSX in this manner and start EFB the FSX goes back to the time of EFB and FSX will reload to the EFB time. I have FSX set to my computer system time. How do I set the EFB fime to reflect the FSX time. Regards Tom
