Thanks Urs. I missed the World Map/Ground icon on the bottom. Cheers, Mark

Hi- Is it possible for EFB to dispaly the airport map (runways and gates) prior to placing the aircraft there? After getting a METAR, I'd like to be able to place my aircraft close to the active runway. I've only been able to do this after P3D starts and then I have to move my ac to the desired gate. Thanks, Mark

You guys are so smart. You think I would be smart enough to read the manual! Thanks.

Hi all- Use EFB and SimpleCam everyday and love it, still. I use photoscenery exclusively. As a result while planning I need to select which states to load for my route. Because I'm old and often senile, and can barely see those thin red lines that delineate states are difficult to see. Would it be possible to make those stand out a little more, or, if you're feeling particularly ambitious, maybe a check box that toggles visibily of those lines? Thanks! Mark

Hi! Probably a pretty odd request, BUT, I'm running P3DV5 on 1.5 27" screens, side-by-side with the remaining .5 dedicated to EFB. I have to locate the '-' sign on the window, far right to minimize. I'd like to hit a key or press a button to do this. Wishful thinking probably but I thought I'd ask. BTW, love SimpleCam. It's so simple! Cheers, Mark

The weather.wx file now created by FSRealWx works fine. So it looks like I'm good. Thanks, Mark

Hi! First, I got FSGRW to work correctly this morning by checking the Data Exchange box as you suggested, so I do have a working weather file that EFB can read. :>) Second, the developer over at FSRealWx has created a new weather export file with the .wx extension so I'm going to try that this morning just for my own information. I'll let you know how that works out. Have a great day, Mark
-
My apologies. I am speaking about FSRealWx. However, I went to FSRealWx for the reason Aivlasoft mentioned, that is, no weather file was ever created so I will look into that. I just got a response from FSRealWx a minute ago. The stock config of FSReal Wx does not produce a .wx file (that EFB is looking for?) He said he can add/change that but I wanted to check with you first that EFB will in fact recognize a metar.wx (what FSRealWx outputs) prior to the ask. Thanks! Mark

Hi all- I'm going through all manner of confusion over at the FSGRW site trying to get the location (and path to) the weather file that FSGRW creates in order for EFB to read it. Not having much luck; either a language issue or FSGRW doesn't work with EFB in P3DV5. Anyway, in settings in the EFB server, it says enter the path to the .wx file. There isn't one which leads me to believe that this might be the problem. Thanks for the help, Mark

Hi all- I've got something weird going on with EFB. This happened a few days ago and I thought it was just an anomaly, but it just happened a few minutes ago so I thought I would post it. Here is the order of operations prior to the FP disappearance. Start server Open FSGRW and download, but do not install, weather into P3D 4.5 yet. Start P3D and load. Tranfer weather from FSGRW. Start client. Create FP in EFB. In this case KRNO > KHQM in MJ's DC3. EFB sees the ac correctly and has the correct weather. Take off on runway 34 climb to ~1000 feet, EFB flight plan disappears. Reopen FPL tab and PPOS is the only entry there. Any ideas? Thank you for an exceptional program that I use everyday! Mark

Thank you. I'll look at this later today and report back. Mark

Hi all- Just finished a KLAS > KSQL flight in my Flysimware Lear35. Downloaded the route from SimBrief and loaded into both EFB and my RXP 750. On approach to runway 30, it appears to be about 800' to the left as the ac is being guided by the GPS. In the EFB flight map, the ac is tracking 283 degrees exactly. I reran the DB and am running the most recent AIRAC in all software except the gps of course which I think is 1909. Did the flight again, same thing. What would cause this 'offset' ? Thanks, Mark

No worries. I don't see a real aircraft in my future anytime soon. 😀 Mark Jones

Hi all- Just stopping by to tell you what a great program EFB is. I've been a Foreflight subscriber for quite a while and decided to look at other options due to ongoing costs. I made the right decision! Keep up the good work. Mark

Hi all- I'm using the trial version. Install went fine. I set the cockpit zoom to .30 in the RealAir legacy. CNTRL + 8 for forward view. CNTRL left arrow to get view out over left engine/wing. Hit NUM 8 to go back to forward view and zoom is now .70 How do I keep the .30 zoom? Thanks, Mark

Thanks!

Does it work OK? Thanks, Mark

running database manager

Thanks. -
Hi- I'm using SceneryConfig Editor and was wondering if I have to run the DB manager every time I enable/disable scenery. I'm using photo scenery primarily. Thanks, Mark

Hi all- I'm getting 24kbps download rate trying to get the latest version. Multiple tries. 2hr download. OOkla Speedtest download 29Mbps on Comcast modem. Are your servers OK? Can you supply a different ftp address for download? Thanks, Mark [attachment=0]download.PNG[/attachment]

reselect Dataprovider every time

I'll give it a try, thanks! Mark -
Hi- I've seemed to have developed a problem recently. Every time I start (fresh boot, not a restart) EFB from my networked laptop, I have to go out and select the DataProvider folder on the host computer. In other words, the selection doesn't stick for future flights. Thanks, Mark

Hi Urs- Server name was typed in incorrectly. Sorry for the trouble-all is working perfect except I think I need to download SP5. I'll check later. Thanks, Mark -

OK, here's where I'm at... Uninstalled both provider/display unit. This is a networked configuration BTW which worked fine up until the new HD install. Ran a reg cleaner. Reinstalled both apps, checked for shares and pinged host computer from laptop with 4/4 success. EFB starts fine on host with FSX connection established, etc. Provider opens on laptop fine but hangs with yellow 'Connecting' message and will not open fully. The settings tab is available and I can get in there. Also checked path to provider db which in this case is... \\MARK-FSX\Users\Mark\AppData\Local\AivlaSoft\EFB\AivlaSoft.Efb.DataProvider I just had a though regarding this..do I need to set up a mapped drive on the laptop to the DP in order to get this to work? Thanks for your help, Travis. Mark -

I couldn't find a settings file anywhere so I did an uninstall/reinstall and I only get a 'Data Provider has stopped working' warning dialog now. Things seem to be getting worse...
