  1. Well, aren't we Simmers always keen on having things "as real as it gets"? That's at least my impression after having attended many FlightSim Conventions and -Exhibits. And that's exactly where EFB has been positioned. In today's simming you can't get away without actual AIRACs and thus actual valid routes. Storing routes with all procedures will thus create a lot of "inconveniences", in general referred to as loading inconsistencies or even errors. What will be the benefit of a warning due to an incompatible procedure? If it is incompatible, it just doesn't fit! And once again, full compatibility can only be achieved when ALL parties affected are using the SAME DATA. It's as aimple as that. Storing a route with all procedures attached means, that you will not be able to update your simulator data ever. Otherwise you will lose your stored routings and/or procedures. For me storing a route with all procedures attached means that I have given up any flexibility, and that's not really what makes flight simming interesting, does it?
  2. Gentlemen, I still fail to understand why you would want to store procedures. Planning a specific route with a modern tool like SimBrief or Route Planner takes less than one minute. EFB comes into play thereafter offering full flexibility to attach every possible SID, STAR and APPROACH within shortest time. Such a completed routing is valid exactly for that moment of planning. Even next day you might encounter different weather conditions requiring different procedures. Furthermore even the basic route without procedures is only valid throughout the present AIRAC cycle. You might have realized that even MSFS is nowadays updating navigation data within each AIRAC cycle of 28 days. So, whatever you are planning, it is useless if you don't use actual AIRAC data. There will ALWAYS be a mix-up if different AIRAC cycles are used, even with the basic route. Still looking for reasonable arguments to store completed routings. I simply don't find one and believe me, after 20'000 hrs of RW flying in airline and instruction businenss IFR and VFR, my aviation background is good enough to judge that...
  3. Indeed! As this warning is created by an internal Windows error, rebooting the PC is the remedy.
  4. Robert, have you checked, whether the correct files are istalled in the respective AIRAC-path of EFB? See below:
  5. Please follow the Forum Rules for all Communication and Inquiries.
  6. Sorry, I don't have any of these Add-Ons by Paulo Ricardo. I have SBKP by LD Improvements and SBRJ by TropicalSim. Both work without problems. Anyone else?
  7. I have it in the MSFS generic database ... and remember: EFB can only show airports that are provided by the respective Simulator!
  8. Please see the other threads already covering this issue ! https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/7934-can-no-longer-get-metar-info/
  9. See here: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/7934-can-no-longer-get-metar-info/ We are working on it.
  10. Ahmed, I take it that you have added procedures to a routing. Therefore the RSB (Routing Shortcut Bar) should be visible. Simply press the "AUTO" button and all windows are closed.
  11. Livio, There is no such folder like "scenery", where the MSFS Add-Ons are placed. You should look for a folder "Community". All Add-On scenery (and also Add-On aircraft) are in this folder. I have no experience with a Steam installation, but available information shows an installation path: "C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community" for a Steam Installation. Thus, the path for the above installation folder should read: "C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages". You might want to try this.
  12. Sorry, FSUIPC7 is part of the requirements of EFB2. See here: https://www.aivlasoft.com/specifications.html
  13. Most probably you minimized the window involuntarily by an uncontrolled move with your mouse. Move the mouse pointer over any edge of this small rectangle until a double arrow appears. Then you can pull the window open to any desired size. BTW, this resize function is available to all windows in EFB.
  14. After some comparison work between Navigraph and NavDataPro Database it looks as if Navigraph had implemented some changes on their AIRNC dataset. Unfortunately we are not informed about such changes. As a consequence we have to investigate and possibly adjust the database Builder to work with the latest Navigraph data. This will take some time. Please hold on. It should also be noticed that users of NavDataPro are not affected.
  15. I agree, it's not the same as in my depction, made from YOUR route string. But nevertheless I have NO CLUE what's going wrong over there... For the time being please hold on. We have to investigate. My presumption goes towards a different parsing for Naivgraph AIRAC which may cause some oddities in the database. I use NavDataPro within EFB, which does not create any problems.
  16. I understand, that your result does not look satisfactorily. When looking at my depiction on EFB with the identical route, you will notice, that my result looks definitely somewhat better. I have NO CLUE what goes wrong on your end. Something in your database must be completely out of sync. We might need to investigate what happened.
  17. Well, we have to wait until something substancial shows up. The funny thing is that if I build a routing KMCO-EGPH with SimBrief, it shows without problems on AIRAC2307: See below:(flight plan built 10 min ago) So for the moment I'm without any ideas what happens here as I can alyways use a flightplan built by SimBrief normally... Just for my own information: habe you also rebuilt the database for the respective simulator? (Not only "Update Navdata" but also "Update Simulator"). Just as another heads-up: in most cases you cannot use a stored flight plan built on another AIRAC Cycle. If ony one if the stored AWYs or WYPs has changed, the whole routing becomes invalid.
  18. have you properly updated and rebuilt your EFB database? I can load the mentioned Flightplan (freshly created on SimBrief) into EFB without problems (no SID and STAR added at this time). Using newest AIRAC2307 data.
  19. As this is a relatively new airport, Asobo/MS was obviously not in the position to properly introduce the full airport layout into their generic airports BGL. We have no influence on this as we can only read what the developers provide in their BGLs. There is however a fully equipped airport model available as Add-On by SceneryTR, which also properly depicts all TWYs and parking stands. See screenshot below:
  20. LTFB is Izmir Selcuk. The only Instanbul airport for MSFS available is LTFM, the brand new intl airport at the Black Sea coast. No other Istanbul airport is avaialble for MSFS ATM. AFAIK the old LTBA Istanbul Atatürk is not avilable for MSFS.
  21. Ground polygons are created by the respective developer, in your present case this is MS/Aobo with its generic airports. As to my knowledge there is ATM only one delveloper (inibuilds) building LGW/EGKK as an Add-On. There most of the stands have the correct identifiers (see partial screenshot). Don't forget that especially large airports have more or less continuous changes in their parking position layouts due to reconstruction. Hence an airport layout will never be completely accurate if the developer does not continuously update his creation. HTH.
  22. Hi David, Stand numbers are defined by the respective ground polygon BGL. This can be either default MSFS (fs-base-genericairports) or an Add-On. In either case the respective supplier is responsible for the content. EFB is just reading what is in the BGL.
  23. Sorry Darren, I do not use GSX, but nevertheless I would strongly presume that it also uses a similar priority system like EFB does and places purchased Add-Ons on top of default airports. FSDT certainly will be able to answer this.
  24. Hi Darren, Just as an additional information: the ground layout of the MSFS World Map also shows these double parking stands.
