Peter, In your runways.txt file enter: EGKK nil 26R EGKK nil 08L EGKK 26L 26L EGKK 08R 08R That's what I have in the file and it suppresses the messages. Jack

It does stand for north; however, the reason that an association to this style (5520N or 55/20) can be made to the North Atlantic is because the 5 digit style waypoints are known as North Atlantic "points". These are only used for waypoints which are North and West of the equator and meridian respectively. A normal reduced length coordinate is 6 digits long, e.g. 55N20W, 20S40E, 44S32W.

Hi Vic, As you've got the UK2000 scenery for City they'll be no need to have the entries in the runways.txt file at all a the runways are up-to-date in the scenery. Try removing its entries from the runways file and try again. Jack

Marc, Sorry if it was taken the wrong way. It was certainly a compliment and I didn't mean to make you seem accused of something; I believe you! I was watching on VATSpy throughout the week and saw you on every leg that I viewed. All I'm saying is it must've been very difficult to go without sleep for a week. On a note of English definition, the word impossible is usually used to describe an event that was actually possible, but something pretty much unbelievable. If someone's in an impossible situation it means that they probably would be able to get themselves out of it, but it's used to overemphasise sometime. It has these meanings as well as of course meaning something that simply cannot be achieved. In my case of its usage I was using my first enlisted meaning. Thanks, Jack

That must've been near impossible, Marc! I was busy throughtout that week and only managed two of them

When you right click in a blank space in FSX and see aircraft listed under "Air Traffic". These aircraft are the ones in your Multiplayer Session. Thanks, Jack

Hello, EFB relies on your online client i.e. FSInn or Squawkbox to provide the traffic. This means that variables such as you visibility range in your client will determine which aircraft appear. Instead of checking ServInfo it's better to check the FSX multiplayer session, because if the aircraft are there and not in EFB then there is an issue. Also there are some known issues with the NGX if you're flying that. Before they released SP1 it stopped traffic from showing on EFB on almost all occasions. Now with the service pack it's been showing all VATSIM traffic for me personally, but again some users have still reported problems. Jack

I also run on a second computer, and so far all Vatsim traffic has been appearing. I'll have to hope that this continues. Jack

Agh... Well that's a shame.

Good to hear, Andy. Will give it a go later this evening as I'm presently flying VATSIM's manic event; Cross the Pond. Jack

Hi, According to the forum rules please sign with your real name, that way I know who I'm talking to! Thanks The 747-400X as well as the rt2 file accepts a universal RTE file which supports all PMDG aircraft. So you can just use the export handler in EFB listed as the PMDG exporter, and it'll work fine with the 744 and can imported from the co-routes. In EFB just ensure that it's exporting to your FSX root folder/PMDG/FLIGHTPLANS folder. Hope this helps, Jack

Travis, Could it possibly be that for EDDP there is a default config in the runways.txt file? I'm not at my flight sim at the moment, but I seem to remember seeing Leipzig in the list. Jack

No, everything is hosted through the web, so the AIRAC is hosted on vroute's server and routes are checked through that. When you did have to download the monthly activation code it just enabled you to use their up-to-date cycle. Jack

Well I guess it's more oriented towards north America. Nope, it's mostly oriented towards Europe. The developer is Polish, but it has routes for most places around the world. It does have quite a few South American routes too: is that route that you searched a real world one? There are so many airports that obviously there will be many routes not covered as it's users that have to input the routing into their database - this is then checked against the AIRAC and routing restriction documents. Jack

It is from the Navigraph AIRAC cycles. The FMS data page on Navigraph's website used to include a code to download and enter into vroute, but now they've got an agreement where you can use the latest AIRAC cycle on vroute without a code from Navigraph. Hope this helps, Jack

Urs, Just did a bit of research and found this. Might help to stop it appearing on some computers - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1587 ... t-in-vista. For those that also see this when installing or opening other software, and if you don't see the windows compatibility system useful then the messages can be disabled by following this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/4161/dis ... and-vista/ Thanks, Jack

I still don't know whether the NGX service pack will solve these issues, but surprise surprise, they're behind schedule again by "at least" a week for SP1. - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/349992-30sep11-more-sp1-600700-schedule-changes/ Thanks, Jack

Let's hope that the NGX service pack, scheduled to be released on Saturday can solve this issue once and for all. - Although by PMDG's reliability on dates, it could be months until it's released, let's hope not. Jack

Hi, According to the forums rules, please sign posts with your name. Thanks It certainly sounds interesting. We know that the reason for the issue of the traffic not always showing up on EFB in the NGX is due to the aircraft bombarding FSX with SimConnect requests. Perhaps the requests are most vigorous when the aircraft is being setup and loaded. Hopefully, this hotfix that is yet to be released can solve the issue. The only problem that I see with your fix is that often at busy airports I'll use the OUTPV option in EFB to see where the other aircraft are parked and to not load up on-top of someone else on the network. I'll give it some testing and see what happens - let's still hope that they PMDG release the fix soon as then we shan't have to do this at all and will be able to use it all normally. Thanks, Jack

Urs, The developers of FSInn and CoPilot operated under the FSFDT website. This website went down quite a while ago and since then the developers disappeared; that's why the version number remains a beta as they never got round to properly releasing it. As far as I understand it it's almost impossible that anyone will make any changes to the software. I spoke to Florian one of the VATSIM Governors who told me a few months ago that a new team got together to make a new version of FSInn - this would have been a new group not linked to FSFDT. More recently though it seems that we'll stay on this same coding and version for quite a while. Thanks, Jack

Hi Urs, Yes I sort of do; I previously had an email conversation with him about various exporting handles for another product (an aircraft). On the other hand more recently I sent him an email and had absolutely no response, but I didn't follow this up and he's usually quite quick to respond. If you'd like me to request for the data from him about the rte exporter then I can do so. Just let me know. Thanks, Jack

As far as I understand it there's an rte format that can be used for all FSX PMDG aircraft. Urs is aware of this, but contained in those files are some parameters that we are not sure of the meaning of. We're all waiting for a response from PMDG to explain what all of these mean so that a PMDG universal flightplan handler can be incorporated into EFB. Urs, As many programs such as vroute and FSC can create this file, would it be quicker to maybe contact someone like Michal of vroute to enquire about the format? - I say this since PMDG seem to be taking a long time to get back to you. Thanks, Jack

I've not tried it yet, but I'm pretty certain that you've misread Julian's post. - You need to work out how many applications you're using that requires SimConnect, add those up. The best number to set will be based on that. Try re-reading the post Thanks, Jack

Many thanks Andy. Will give this a go later on. Thanks, Jack

Well Andy, all of my UK2000 Xtreme sceneries appear to be affected. - So that finding would appear correct. Jack
