Hi Nigel, I am not at all an expert. More or less the opposite. When trying to solve my network problems, I came across the following article. Unfortunatelley it is in German and I do not know the corresponding specific English Words. - Go to "Start Menue" and their "Search". Typ "Service" (or Services) - That should open a new window called something like "Services Desktop App." - Look for "Functional principel of ressources" (may be the screenshot helps). - This was set by one of the last updates to Manual and causes the network trouble. Dubble click on Manual, it should change to Automatic. If this caused your truble it should be solved now. Good luck Bernd

Hi Pete, with the mentioned taskbar I ment that of windows. I am running this Lower EICAS monitor in window mode. So the window taskbar covers in my case the EFB lower taskbar to approx one half. But this realy does not matter. With the pixel size I have differently choosen from the recommendation and the font size of 125% everythind can easily be seen and handled. If my solution is of any interest (used mnitor etc), I can make somme remarks/photos later (?). best regards Bernd

Hi Nigel just went briefly through your post, bacause I had a similar problem, when I first connected my new Win 10 PC in the Win 7 client, which was active with another Win 7 Derver PC in a LAN Homenetwork before. The problem with Win 10 from a certain version Nr (1803 ?) is that does not supports Home networks any more. So the Win 10 PC recognizes the Win 7 PC but the other way it does not work. The very simple solution is, to start all networking PC on the Home network basis first and as soon as they are connected among each others, start your Win 10 PC (if this is the problem in your case). Anyhow fixed IPs of all networking PCs is conditio sine qua non, but you mentioned that. If my solution work as long as the router is not connected to the internet, I have not checked, because I am always, when flying. Hope I met your problem and it helps, good luck! Best regards Bernd

Hi Pete, that´s what I did as well. ith the effect, that the EFB screen is a bit to wide und the lower push buttons are partly hidden beneath the taskbar. But that´s no problem, snce you still can see, what they are used for. As far as the virtuell keyboard is concened I just found (did not know that), there is one integrated. Am not in the cockpit but think it could work (?). https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10762/windows-use-on-screen-keyboard

Hello, short look through all windows, no time to plan and fly right now. First impression, great work, real improvement and worth the money. One minor remark. Missing the keyboard, although it is only missing, when no dropdown menues available, which mostly are. Missed it, when entering the Airport Codes. Or did I have overlooked it? there are keys for the Radios f.e.. Have not set up everything, just tried to create a route. So at least for the airport codes a keyboard has to be used. And one of the major goals when constructing my cockpit was, ban keyboards! Background: I have improved my cdu bay, using only one cdu but using the rest for a stripped touchscreen monitorfrom where I make my planning, (EFB, topcat, instructore station and the lower EICAS - all on the taskbar and can select it from there. I introduced my solution to Boeing, asking for 1mio, no answer so far ! ). Seriously, at least since most flights are performed solo, this is a real recommendable solution. A second CDU if so could always be placed in the pedastal, reorganizing that. (That#s probably what I forgot to tell Boeing !) So it follows the inevitable question, will there be a keyboard with a later update? Otherwise I would have to look for an other source, able to function on my touchscreen. There was one once, but I deleted it unwillingly and since I did not really need it .... Best regards Bernd ... and if you evver contact Boeing ......

Thks Jonas, message disappeared. Proceed with testing. Regards Bernd

I did not chande anything, It s a brand new PC, windows 10 was installed. And because the only purpose of this pc is to serve as ProSim client, no other Windows Programms are installed. And if I do understand the following explenation correctly, Arial narrow is not installed, unless you have one of the following programms installed also (?) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/arial-narrow means this will be a ever lasting problem, as long as people use their PCs like I do ? Somebody in your Linked threads mentionad, that this was repaired after one of the last windows updates ? I have so far one installed, but no change. So again, since Microsoft has not answered so far, and the link out of the fonts file, where you can download single further fonts is not supprted anymore (at least from the lap top I am just wrinting on), would it be possible, to send this single font ? Do not know if there are license problems if it is done in public ? But there should be a way to Rome ?

Stupig question just checked on my new Win 10 PC, there also the Arial Narrow Font is missing. Does that mean, if I would have installed the client there , would end in the same message ? Is this font used in the client ? In this case others should have this problem ? Checked it on three different PCs meanwhile, Win 7 and 10, none has this font !? Can someone provide it - Windows has answered thexy will sent something by mail, do not how long this will take.

Habe (wahrscheinlich) was gefunden. Es gibt bei Windows einen update von 2013. Versuche das, melde mich falls nicht erfolgreich.

It´s Win 7 on this machine. Would not know that I ever changed anything there. It is an older i7-930 PC, serving as client for Years, so you never know. But question (am not an expert in this respect) how could it be repaired ? Run the repair function, put the Win 7 disc inside ? Or better find the Font and install it manualy ? The repair function as such might change something else ? Advice appriciated, thanks.

Hi, just installed client on a networked PC, where also the v1 client was installed before (deinstalled). Installation without problems. Tryind to start the client ends in a message starting with: ComponentActivator:could not instatiate t.t.c.e.a ........................... Die Schriftart Arial Narrow unterstützt den Schnitt regular nicht (und eine ganze Seite weiterer Text - habe auf diesem PC leider kein Paint um einen screen shot einzustellen, sehe auch kein log file unter client ) PC und Bildschirm behausten zuvor auch schon den v1 client problemlos. Muss ich irgendwo die Schriftart ändern (wobei ich wissentlich nichts gegenüber der ursprünglichen Windows Installation geändert habe ?). Was läuft da falsch ?

Hi Urs, I was traveling and did not remember by password to sign in and thank you for your help. Best regards Bernd

Hi Urs, the message showed up just for a short moment and disappeared. So I do not have a screenshot, unless I would properly delete the EFB and install again (?). As far as I remeber it was telling that there is a second installation on a second PC and I should check the licenze agreement ? But I am not sure. If this was the message, would it mean, that I have to delete the EFB on the old PC, although it stays in my privat network and will not be used for FS activities ? Regards Bernd

Hi, I am about installing my simulator step by step (changing from FSX to P3D V 4.2) on a new Server PC. Just installed the EFB and got the message, that there is EFB still installed on the old Server PC. This PC will either not be used for FS purposes or (have not made up my mind finally) as Client PC, replacing the present client with the "old" EFB displa unit. What are the propper steps that I will not have a licence key conflict ? Best regards Bernd

Hi Urs, just wanted to update from 1.65 to 1.68 and getting a message from Norton and/or Windows, that the download was stopped by SmartScreen- Filter. Setting the AntiVirus into silent mode and turned of Firewall and Antivirus Settings did not help. Downloading the full Version was accepted. Any idea how to overcome the Problem with the update ? Best regards Bernd

Hi all, I just solved my problem also and I was hesitating to post the reply, because shame on me, I made the same mistake like Simon. Useless to give any Explanation, how this could happen, because I never tuched it by purpose, but not checking it was just idiotic. Sorry for any inconvinience caused. Very happy with my EFB ! Best regards Bernd

The DisplayUnit gets the information via the TCP/IP network from the DataProvider. The DataProvider is getting the information via the SimConnect interface from FSX/P3D. There might be a well known problem with SimConnect which tends to reduce/prioritize output to its connected clients when it is stressed. You can try to open the built-in monitor from the DataProviders menu (Data > AI aircraft monitor). This monitor indicates the output of SimConnect. If there is nothing to see on this monitor then nothing comes out of SimConnect. Hi Urs, checked, simconnect is active , the ai aircraft Monitor Shows the traffic. So in this respect, everything seems ok. Any other hint to look for ? Bst regards Bernd

Tks Urs, will check that asap. Best regards Bernd

Hi I am facing a strange phenomenon since yesterday. Although activated in the Settings, Charts, traffic ,Show Ai, the traffic symbols are not indicated any more. By the way, I am also missing the vectors indicating the differnt runway directions, when in ground map Modus. The AI traffic is active and recognized by the ATC. The ATC does not recognize the actual flight plan. Asking for clearance I just get the "normal" clearance, where I can select vectors to the North etc. Everything else works as it should, moving map, Tools etc. I changed hard drives and moved from one to another. So consequently I am assuming, that a minor Problem occured in this respect. Before gooing to deeply in Details, where gets the Display unit the Information concerning the AI traffic? May be I should start investigating from there ? I have Win 7/64, i7.3770 and an i7-930 as Display unit. I am also using the avionic Software of aerosoft australia, which is an stand alone Software. EFB Display unit and the Display unit of the avionics are running on the same PC. So I save and activate the EFB route in FSX and copy it by hand into the Aerosoft FMC. Because the Auto Pilot of the FSX is disconnected (aerosoft runs ist own AP, respectively the GoFlight Hardware,), both Aerosoft and EFB work simultanously/paralell but are not directly linked. This Setup worked before I moved to the new SSD without any Problem. Consequently I guess, there occured a certain missing link in the path. Hope this is not to confusing but I just tried to give a full picture. So again, to start with, in case the problem is not obvious, where gets the Display unit the Ai Information from ? Thanks a lot Bernd

Sorry, forgot to answer in Englisch. Obviously due to a break down of t-online mail server, I can not answer your mail sent to my privat address. best regards Bernd

Hallo Urs, ich sehe, dass du mir auf meinen mail account geantwortet hast, kann die mail aber nicht öffnen, t-online scheint Probleme zu haben (Wartung, schon den ganzen nachmittag). Gruß Bernd

Tks. for your reply Urs, but I have a problem with my network adapter in the Data providers PC. Presently it does not work, changes from day to day. Will see tomorrow. Regards Bernd

Hello, I moved to my new PC recently (i7-3770 Win 7/64, splitted installation data display on a second PC). EFB worked well. I then installed Kai Tak from Fly tampa and the corresponding Aivla update. I did that for the second time, so I guess (hopefully), that I did not make a mistake. In addition I installed parts of NL2000 with NL2000 airports, like Rotterdam. When I then started the data profider for the first time it ended with the message "Data provider funktioniert" nicht mehr. I checked the cycle was changed to 1101a in every file etc, everything seems to be ok. The index creations are ending with "succesfully done", until Reading navigraph data, pls. wait, where the story ends. Because this happens for the first time, I had hundreds of airports, also freeware before, without any problems, I wonder if there ist a simple explanation. Or should I deinstall and install again. Respectivelly is the navigraph data announcement a usefull hint, what went wrong? Tks. in advance Bernd

Thanks Urs, deleted manually, although did not find/manage 5). Will not reinstall, before the notebook is here. Best regards Bernd

Hello, I downloaded EFB yesterday, but failed to install it correctly, because my PC was forced down unexpectedly before I had made the correct first setup. I now have both icons, but can not start the software from there and also not from the explorer (no path and port 13 not available). Also reinstalling did not help. I intend to buy and install the software as soon as my new notebook will arrive (hopefully before the weekend) and need an advice what to do, to get a clean setup in order to start from the scratch. Best regards Bernd
