[Sim Not Recognized by Server]

Hi,

 

I have MSFS, X-Plane and P3D installed.  While flying P3D EFB 2 does not recognize I'm flying P3D and wants me to load MSFS in the database.

 

Thanks,

Doug

Thanks.

[Heading up?]

I see it under Map but the button cannot be selected.

Is there a way to select heading up while in flight?

 

Thanks,

[Build 112 Radio Box Flash]

Sorry, posted too soon.  Figured it out.  It was minimizing for some reason. Maybe I hit the minimize button once and didn't realize it.

Working fine now.

[Build 112 Radio Box Flash]

Hi,

 

With the latest version I'm having a problem where the radio dialog box flashes on then disappears each time I click the radio button.

 

Everything else seems to be working perfectly.

 

Thanks,

Doug

Is there a way in the future to distinguish Vatsim etc. traffic from AI generated traffic with a different color or symbol?

 

Thank you,

[Stutters P3D]

Hi,

 

I made a couple of test flights without the VSD on the NGX and there is no problem with stutters while using EFB.  However, with the VSD on, closing the data provider does stop the stutters.  

 

I miss the VSD but can live without it because I miss EFB more.

 

Thanks for your help,

Doug

[Stutters P3D]

I almost always fly with the VSD displayed on the co-pilot side. I'll try with it turned off on the next couple of flights and let you know.

 

Thanks,

Doug

Also, from reading other forums this seems like it's only a problem with the NGX which is what I'm using when I have the issue.  That's the same forum where I got the idea to separate the cores but this didn't work for me.

 

Thanks,

Doug

Urs,

 

Thanks much for taking the time to test.  I'm using Windows 10 if that makes any difference.  There must be some other addon conflict etc.  Closing the data provider is the only thing I can do to eliminate the problem.

 

Thanks again for checking into it.

The previously posted solution is not working.  Killing the data provider solves poor fps and stutters.  Sure hope this is fixed soon.  Can't use EFB  with P3D v3 until then.

 

Thanks,

Doug

Found the problem.  After researching further the problem was that the folder in scenery.cfg was listed with the /scenery.  I left off the /scenery in the scenery.cfg and EFB read it fine.  As Urs said in previous posts EFB will look for the scenery folder by default so it was looking for /scenery/scenery which didn't exist.  It's working now.

 

Thanks,

Doug

[Airport Information]

I'm having the same problem but a data provider update is not working.  I fixed some runways in ade then placed the file at the top of scenery.cfg.  The data provider is seeing the folder and reading it with no errors however the runways are still not recognized when I select the airport in the display unit.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Doug

Hi,  

 

I just flew the KDEN flight again but this time I assigned P3D to cores 1-X and EFB to core 0.  Flew great with no stutters.  Give it a try.  Use set affinity mask under task manager on the details tab.  Right click set affinity.

 

Good luck.

 

Thanks,

Doug

[Stutters P3D]

Hi,

 

Just flew into KDEN this afternoon and was getting strong stutters.  I shut down the data provider and everything was immediately smooth as silk.  I'm the OP and can confirm this has been happening since at least P3D v3.2.  I'm using 3.3 with the hotfix now.  I have FlightBeam KDEN and this problem is definitely more pronounced around bigger scenery.

 

I also would prefer to keep my settings the way they are and not use EFB as much as it pains me.

 

I'm no programmer but the simconnect bottleneck sounds right.  Maybe limit the simconnect call frequency if that makes any sense?

 

Looking forward to a fix.

 

Thanks,

Doug

[Stutters P3D]

It seems clear that this is not a one-off phenomena. When I run NGX with EFB alone in P3D v2.5 hotfix the stutter problem is profound. It is difficult because I really like EFB and have used it for years but am making the commitment to move over to P3D and most other add-ons are working. I know Aivlasoft will get it fixed in due time. For now I guess I'll have to look at alternatives.

 

Good luck,

Doug

[Stutters P3D]

I have run P3d and EFB only and the problem still occurs.

 

Thanks,

Doug

[Stutters P3D]

When I have this problem I'm running:

 

VPilot

Active Sky Next

PMDG NGX

 

and that's it. I also have ORBX scenery installed.

 

I've tried stopping ASN and VPilot but stopping EFB stops the problem.

 

I did notice the two simconnects running and stopped one but that didn't solve the problem. Only stopping EFB stopped the stutters.

 

Thanks,

Doug

[Stutters P3D]

Hi,

 

I'm flying the P3D NGX in v.2.5 with latest hotfix. Incessant stutters begin about 30 minutes or so into the flight. After a great deal of experimentation, only one thing eliminated the problem. Shutting down EFB. After that, every flight is flawless. I'm using the latest version of EFB. Hard to live without this great software. Any ideas on a fix?

 

Thanks,

Doug

[KORD runways]

I've searched but how to fix KORD in EFB eludes me. I've updated in fsx and it shows up there correctly. I've run the scenery updater in the Data Provider to no avail.
