  1. Hi,

     

    I'm running Windows 10 up-to-date with EFB2 on my client. With the server running, every time I try to open settings the program  locks up  with a message 'Side Bar Locked'. How do you unlock it? I want to check the weather source.

     

    Also, in the future would it be possible to allow the Weather Setting on the server (Windows 10 Pro) to be duplicated on the client, like EFB 1? Like most networked users ASP3D is running on the client. Because of a issue with networking from the server to the client I can't access it directly and use 'Real World Weather'. Thank you for your help and a wonderful flight-bag.

    Oh well, THIS is the important piece of information that was missing :-D ! There have recently been a number of reports with that Fall 2017 (build #1709) update causing several problems. We will have to wait until MS comes up with a solution or - the second possibility - revert to the former build (#1703 I believe).

     

    Thanks but I can't revert to the previous Windows build, I'll have to wait until MS fixes their mess or reset the OS again.

  3. Hi and happy new year!

     

    I have a persistent problem that I'm hoping your expertise with simconnect can help me solve. This is not a unique EFB problem but I'm hoping you might be able to shed some light on why EFB is also affected and lead to a solution. I purchased EFB a year or two ago and it worked perfectly networking between client and FSX server. About a month ago I suddenly experienced the following problem.

     

    I would appreciate any ideas as to what can block simconnect locally on two separate computers after a fresh install of FSX with acceleration on each? The second computer I installed FSX on was a new Win7 machine which was installed by the vendor. The only common parts I can think of are the Comcast modem (network), netgear router, diskeeper 12 professional , Webroot AV and Win7 Fire wall. I have opened ports on the Win Firewall and removed Webroot AV.

     

    What's Happening: Everything that requires simconnect does not work.

     

    Default Planes:

    All run normally.

     

    F1 Mustang:

    When loading the F1 Mustang an error message pops up 'Network Error - Simconnect is Blocked' . The VC is blank and the throttles, buttons etc. cannot be moved.

     

    Aivlasoft EFB:

    The Data provider starts however cannot connect to FSX. The log shows 'Simconnect Inactive'

     

    Networked:

     

    I can connect to FSX from my client running Plan-3G via simconnect so it appears to be a local (machine issue). I have all three simconnect files in the Windows winsxs folder and installed the 3 simconnects from the SDK service packs. I am complete baffled. Any suggestions or ideas will be appreciated. Can a new Comcast cable modem or Netgear Router affect local simconncet connectivity? Thanks.
