Hi, I just purchased and received my product key. When I start FSX with EFB running FSX continues to Load scenery objects...Loading terrain data...etc.. over and over stuck in a loop. If I stop EFB the constant loading loop stops and I can fly FSX (without EFB). During setup I did get one red circle error GetRunwayDesignater: Object reference not set to an instance of an object, at airport TNCM Warning-Landing-and Navaids could not have been created successfully Right now EFB is unuseable for me. I have sent the log files to aivla support and a screen shot of the error. Please Advise, Bob

Hi Henk, I apologize for the late reply. I use http://www.simroutes.com/fb2/showplans.aspx for finding good routes, or creating actual routes by selecting STARS, SIDS and enroute fixes. You can also generate manually a complete route one fix at a time as well. Simroutes then gives you the option to save these plans in a number of formats. From FS2002, FS2004 (FS9), FSX, PMDG, Level D 767, FSinn and more. I always select FSX and save to my default FSX flight plan folder. These plans load perfectly in all my addon FMC's and default aircrafts GPS. But they wouldn't load in EFB. I did use the simple "trick you described above by loading into the FSX flight planner, saved it using the same name. It then does load in EFB but unfortunately now it isn't recognized by my EagleSoft Citation X FMC, my favorite aircraft. I haven't tried it with my other addon aircraft FMC's yet....will advise. However I assume I could choose my .PLN flight plan saved from simroutes, load it into the FSX flight planner and save it with a KBOS-KLGA_EFB.PLN name. Would that keep the original KBOS-KLGA_X.PLN for my Eaglesoft Citation X? A little cumbersome but still faster than hand entering them all over again. Thanks for the tip next time I will spend more time reading through the forum before posting. Regards Bob

Hi Admins, I have completed 4 or 5 successful flights now in the USA using EFB tracking them. It is a very well thoughtout application! However I have one request or question and a comment. I have well over 100 saved .pln flight plans in the default fsx flight plan folder. I have used these .pln's for years before EFB. I generated and saved these directly to the fsx folder using the excellent online flight planner tool called simroutes. It finds routes that a match the actual routes flown and or it allows you to custom enter one from the actual route flown and save it. The save option allows you to save planned routes in many formats. I have always selected to save them in FSX format. Unfortunately when I try to load these in EFB using the DsiplayUnits FSX option they are not recognized in xml format. I use these .pln's for every addon aircraft FMC and GPS I have. But they do not work with EFB. So I am foced to create new flight plans by hand one fix at a time modifying routes in EFB to match what is loaded in my FMC's. It's a slow process that seems unecessary when I have all these plans saved already that load fine with my FSX aircraft. Can you look into the possibilty of getting these non xml "type" .PLN plans to load up in EFB? A side comment: I had one flight from KBOS to KMCO using EFB that after an hour or so into the flight I kept experiencing fsx pause to loading scenery.... then in 5-10 seconds it would reload scenery again.... it kept doing it over and over. I had to exit out of EFB and it stopped doing it. Thanks Bob

I appreciate the quick response. I've sent you the requested Log files this morning. Looking forward to resolution. Bob

I dnloaded and installed the 30 day trial demo version. I have FSX SP2 w 2 3rd party scenery upgrades REX & UTX installed. I followed the installation PDF closely. When loading the "FirstRun" of the DataProvider it gets all the way through folder analyzations and country codes VA's, Index creation successfully done. Airport index created successfully. Creating airways. Please wait... Creating landing and navaids, Please wait... Thats when I get the error message everytime. EFB has stopped working a problem caused the prgram to stop and I am forced to close out. I am excited to get this up and running it certainly sounds to good to be true. Please advise.
