    yellow mode only - issues with Sim Connect and EFB ?

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Iain,

     

    Could you email your xml files (the simconnect.xml, dll.xml and exe.xml files that is) to support@aivlasoft.com?

     

    Urs - and many other - EFB users use ActiveSky, so it's not impossible to use both. It only seems to be a configuration issue somewhere.

     

    You mention that when you installed the ActiveSky Service Pack that you were not able to run Active Sky. Is that still the case or have you been able to restore it to full function?

     

    Regards,

     

    Hi GG Flyer - As this is only a new install of FSX, to reload is not a huge issue. I will reinstall FSX from scratch including the SDK, then see what happens from there. If problems, I'll do as you suggest.

     

    Active Sky Evolution was not able to connect with FSX, and after install of SDK, EFB also was not able to connect. I believe the issue is simconnect, or perhaps because I'm also running wide ex and FSUPIC (Peter Dowson). I require FSUPIC as this is used for other hardware connections (full flight deck). Thanks, WilloW

    Hello;

     

    Thanks for the replies.

     

    OK I uninstalled SDK and EFB still is in yellow mode.

     

    I reinstalled SDK from DVD and EFB is still in yellow mode

     

    Date Provider states simconnect status "inactive"

     

    How do I obtain a green mode light?

     

    I also note that the Data Provider stops working and displays in the upper menu "not responding". It then closes when WIN 7 window comes up asking if I want to close the program.

     

    Can you please provide advice on how to rectify these issues.

     

    Cheers, Iain

    Hello Urs, Is the SDK on the gold edition FSX DVD the latest SP2 version?

     

    If so, I downloaded SP1A over the top of this (that was stupid on my behalf)

     

    It maybe prudent to uninstall the SDK and reinstall from DVD again - perhaps this will solve my issue

     

    Should I do this??

     

    I also note that there is a SP2 update available.

    Hi - Both computers are running WIN 7. EFB working perfectly, until,

     

    I installed and configured Active Sky Evolution SP3 on my client computer

     

    Since installing ASE, the data provider works OK, but states in the black box "simconnect status inactive"

     

    The display unit only now works in "yellow" mode and not green mode. Therefore the moving map and airplane icon is disabled.

     

    As part of the Active Sky Evolution install I had to install SimConnect from the SDK and alter the port designation to 500. I also had to write my STATIC IP address in the .xml file

     

    Maybe this has caused a problem? Can someone guide me to a solution please.

     

    I'm really pulling my hair out on this - both active sky and EFB are now inoperative - thank you, WilloW

    Which PC to load Flight Bag onto with dual PC setup?

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Thanks for your replies and advice.

     

    The SIM A PC will be running the Sim Avionics software and will be looking after all the display visuals (main instrument displays, FMC, etc) as there are 3 video cards with 6 outputs for monitors.

     

    The FSX machine (which only has one video card with 2 outputs) will have the outside display/visuals - either 2 screens or mostlikely an overhead projector.

     

    Therefore, I was thinking of running the EFB output on a seperate monitor running from the Sim A PC. So, I guess installing the EPB software on the SIM A PC is the preferrred option.

     

    A lot to learn here, but I'll get there, WilloW

    Hello: I'm constructing a B-737 flight deck and will be using Sim Avionics for my flight software. The simulation will be run from 2 computers networked. I'm working through the computer set up at the moment.

     

    The FSX computer has one video card with 2 outputs, while the Sim Avionics computer has 3 video cards with 6 outputs. The 6 outputs are mainly for screen displays in the main instrument panel.

     

    Which is the better computer to load the flight bag onto - the PC running FSX or the PC running Sim Avionics ?

     

    Advice appreciated. Thank you, WilloW

    Will flight bag work not connected to FSX?

    Hello

    In other words can you view charts, procedures and create a flight plan without FSX running?

     

    Did a quick try on my setup - answer is yes to the above.

     

    Thanks Tom. I really appreciate you checking this for me.

     

    I'll be purchasing in a few weeks. I am thinking of mounting a screen to the side of the flight deck (flush to the wall) similar to a navigation table. Although not viewable directly to the front of the pilot, it will be able to be viewed by looking sidewards. Another idea was to run it on an i-pad or similar device. I have a CDU/FMC that will handle actual navigation.

     

    Cheers, WilloW
