[EFB DB builder?]

Hi Frans,

 Your description is not very exhaustive to give us any clue what is going on on your system. Nevertheless please note the following:

 

1. DbBuilder is NOT involved in Aircraft in any way

2. DbBuilder is NOT downloading anything. it is only READING scenery files

3. If there is any error logged, please send a set of Support Files to support@aivlasoft.com

[No ILS to Ho Chi Minh]

At present (AIRAC 2201) Lufthansa/LIDO and Jeppesen only have ILS 25L & R approaches in their AIRAC database. Those are worldwide databases used by the vast majority of all commercial carriers. So I would consider them to be accurate.

[Strange EFB Server Message]

This seems to have been a temporary issue with the weather message stream. I also saw it ONCE, but at present not anymore. Not the first and not the last such mishap when it comes to third party data streams over the Net...

[VOR DME FREQ mismatch]

Hi Janek,

Please re-run the DbBuilder

 

 

and check again. This should resolve the issue.

[Xplane - No Connection]

Hi,

Unlike the other simulators EFB cannot detect X-Plane on its own. Inorder to connet to X-Plane you need to first SELECT the X-Plane database and THEN start EFB Server and Client. This will the allow connection to X-Plane.

[How to specify folder to save .pln flighplan]

In MSFS the active EFB Flightplan in *.pln format (EFB_Current_gps.pln) should be stored in: "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState"

That's where MSFS is reading flight plans from. This path is automatically set by FSUIPC7. There was however a bug in FSUIPC/ V13, where this path was erroneously set to "..../LocalCache". This bug was corrected in V14 of FSUIPC7.

This path is also stores in the Sever Settings under:

[SimulatorMsfs]

..

..

FlightplanFolder = C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\

 

I have no idea however why the default FlightPlans shoud be stored in: ...users/onedrive/documents

It should be noted that EFB SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED INTO OneDrive! This is not a vaild installation path for EFB and proper function is not guaranteed. See also FAQ: https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/2951-win10-onedrive-cloud/#comment-17906

 

[Airport Hurgada Runway 34R fehlt]

In addition to what I wrote before I should also state at this point that your screenshots look a bit "strange" to say the least. RWYs 34L & R are almost 1 km apart. So the situation on your screenshots is by no means meaningful. I have no idea what airport is depicted on your ground layout. When did you run the DbBuilder last time?

[Airport Hurgada Runway 34R fehlt]

Hello Reinhold,

I'm sorry but from now on we whoud obey the Forum Rules and continue this thread in English. I'm wondering why EFB is not depicting both RWYs. I guess we are talking of the default airport of HEGN. Looking at my P3DV5 installation both RWYs are properly depicted. Unfortunately I don't have P3DV4 installed anymore on my system. Thus I have no means to check the P3DV4 files. Why the Sim shows both RWYs but EFB shows only one is beyond my understanding. Technically speaking this is actually not even possible as both EFB and P3DV4 use the same BGL. Could you please post a screenshot of the Airport Info of HEGN? (see below)

[Airport Hurgada Runway 34R fehlt]

Hallo Reinhold,

Da fehlen schon noch ein paar Angaben wie z.B. Simulator, Default oder Add-On Flugplatz etc. Wir brauchen schon ein paar Daten mehr, um überhaupt irgendeine Aussaage zu machen.

[Regarding the problem that this folder cannot be found.Visual FX Tool.Traffic Toolbox]

1. It's only a warning, not an error. So no harm is done anyway

2. The respective paths are specified within certain packages. Please do not try to prove anything by showing camouflaged screenprints

 

If a solution is needed, the only way is to create a set of Support Files and send them to support@aivlasoft.com

[Aircraft Profile Won't Load]

See manual "5 Client", Chapter 2.3 "X-Plane" -> profile loading. You do not have to use the *.acf filename, but the name used in "ICAO-Code for ATC" which can be seen in Planemaker under the tab "standard/author". See attached sample for the default C172. If there is no code, you neeed to create one or load the profile manually. This is unfortunately an X-Plane limitation which cannot be changed.

I notice that the database in EFB lists Navigraph FMS data as the Navdata. That is what I had in P3D around a year ago. How do I configure EFB to use the default Navblu data in EFB database? I am afraid to change anything and wind up with no database at all. 

EFB only uses either NavDataPro or Navigraph data. There is no third data source.

[Unable to get the flight plan loaded into the plane's GPS]

1 hour ago, rgbalzaretti said:

Curious: Where or how did you learn about this bug?

We encountered exactly the same problem and found out that the flightplan was directed into ...\localCache instead of ...\localState. After inquiring with Pete Dowson he admitted that they had erroneously changed some variables. It took however a few weeks until the new and corrected version was published...

[Unable to get the flight plan loaded into the plane's GPS]

Hi Rolando,

 

"Run WINDOWS 11 PRO, MSFS2020 v1.21.13.0 and FSUIPC V7.2.13"

 

That's exactly the problem. FSUIPC 7.2.13 has a bug which returns a wrong path information. Update to the newest FSUIPC 7.2.14 and the problem is solved...😃

[Synchronize EFB Flight Plan w/ MSFS 2020]

1 hour ago, semoi said:

Hi

I'm looking for the opposite effect, I just wish that when I create SIDs and STARS in EFB, it doesn't delete my FMC flight plan.
I would like there to be no link between EFB and MF2020.
Is this possible please?

Thanks

A very good solution would be to read the manuals... Manual 5 Client: Chapter 12.2.8: Options: "Forward flight plan to default GPS"...

[Aivlasoft cannot found Airport]

Unfortunately some of the scenery installed through MarketPlace use data encryption which is not readable for anyone outside MSFS. Therefor EFB is unable to read any such airport information. Nevertheless we have created a possibility to use generic BGLs to have at least some basic layout displayed in the EFB Ground Chart.

Please copy the attached file into the AFCAD path of the EFB Server and rebuild the database (in a standard installation to be found at: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\). Thereafter you should at least see a basic layout of the airport with the most inportant Parking Stands.

[Scenery scanning when deactivated not working as expected]

Nope, it's an issue with the Lorby Organizer. it is however difficult to trace as you didn't provide the requested Support Files yet. Please do the follwing: Make a full Database Rebuild with all scenery activated and then make a set of Support Files and send those UNEDITED to: support@aivlasoft.com

 

 

[Scenery scanning when deactivated not working as expected]

Ok, I  see what you mean. I  was still a bit too much inclined towards MSFS and I just now realized that you are talking about Prepar3D. In facht the mentioned function should actually do exactly what you expect it to do. For Troubleshooting I recommend to do a complete scan and then create a complete set of support files. This will allow us to do a deeper troubleshooting into this issue. I must neverheless admit that I'm not completely sure whether this function is still working  properly after LM introduced the new add-on packages system with P3DV4 ff.

 

Edit: Urs just reviewed the code an confirms, that using the checkbox "scan all scenery" works as intended. So, whatever problem surfaces, we need in any case the support files and an accurate description of the case. In any case it is important to know, that whenever a new scenery is added, a complete rebuild of the Scenery Database is necessary.

[Scenery scanning when deactivated not working as expected]

Hi,

Yes, the easiest method to have all Add-Ons in the EFB database is to run a DatabaseBuild with ALL add-Ons enabled. If you then disable a few, EFB OPS is not hampered. However if you happen to position on a default airport which is actually a disabled Add-On, you will see the airport layout of the Add-On. That's all. But to be honest, I don't think that you would take-off or land on a disabled Add-On, wouldn't you?

This of course also means that whenever you add a new Add-On airport, you will have to re-enable all disabled Airports to have all airports scanned by the DatabaseBuilder. Individual disabling can take place thereafter upon your liking.

Good to hear. Thanks for reporting!

Hello,

yes, I forgot to provide that FSUIPC is version 7.2.13 

 

thanks

Thank you, Dejan,

 

I was afraid you were using this version...😃 It is confirmed by Pete Dowson that versions 7.2.12 and -13 are buggy inasfar that they return a wrong datapath from MSFS. The bug is (unfortunately) not yet corrected with a new version, but as an intermediate fix you can download the attached exe-File (internally numbered 7.1.2.4)

 

FSUIPC7.exe

 

Please deactivate the original FSUIPC7.exe to FSUIPC7.off and copy this new file into the FSUIPC7 path. Thereafter the flightplan should be forwarded to the correct path and therefore be enabled to be read by MSFS for all default A/C.

[Flight plan handling issue - MSFS default aircrafts not following EFB plan]

Hi Dejan,

 

Thank you for the kind words on EFB. Before we go too deep into troubleshooting, may I ask you which version exact of FSUIPC7 you are using?

[I have STARS and SIDs since the update of msf2020 GOTY]

Yes, I'm afraid that Asobo/MS has done a few basic changes without giving any information. We have to investigate what teh reason for this is. for the time being there's nothing else possible than to stand by and wait for more information. Sorry for that.
