I got a notification of a new version yesterday but ignored it. Got one today and updated the Server, but it would not do the same for the client. I downloaded the Client v2.1.115 from your website. Started the Client installer which told me build 114 was already installed and did I want to uninstalll it. Yes, I did and clicked the OK box.
I then watched the Aivlasoft uninstaller obliterate my entire Client folder file by file, INCLUDING 3 personal folders created by me which held backup profiles and a number of text files along with some other files. These personal folders and files were not created by the Aivlasoft installer when I originally installed EFB Server and Client.
I've dealt with other installers, updaters, etc which do their work without interferring with any other files or directory structures, so please, I've asked this in the past and am asking again, would your installers, updaters or whatever please refrain from touching folders and/or files that Aivlasoft did not put there.
Thank you,
Jerry

Build 112. Starting Server and Client notify me of an update. Updater runs from here, not as a separate download.
Could you please change the upgrade installer so it doesn't trash the Profiles folder and any user made profiles. I know it's going to do this and I make a backup of that folder, but, still, it's getting annoying.

Here's a profile for the Mustang now that it has been released for P3Dv4. Weights and distances taken from the POH and Cessna Wiki.

This profile is for the Carenado Phenom 300 v2. Weights and distances taken from the Embraer website.

5 hours ago, Mr. ATC said:
Can you provide a screenshot of this situation?
Can you also report what map options (buttons at the bottom) you have activated? Also here, a screenshot would be appreciated.
Have not noticed it happening again, but if it does I will try to grab some screenshots.

Hi Jerrry,
just a guess, but most probably you have selected the ARC option but not CMPS and not RNG ... It's a very seldom combination of option buttons and only today we figured out this by coincidence. Is this what you experience?
That is exactly correct. CMPS, RNG and VCT were off, ACFT and ARC were on. Just got done with a flight and found that turning ARC on and off made the ACFT icon and Approach Plate disappear and appear. Almost like a toggle.

Win10-64, P3Dv4.3, Avtive Sky for P3Dv4, FSUIPC 5.132
EFBv2 Client build 73, server build 56
Aerosoft CRJ700
Things are going fairly well with this new program, but occasionally the ACFT icon just disappears for no reason. Happens while climbing or descending mostly but could also happen in level flight. Moving map is continuing to update and move so I know EFB is still talking to P3D. Sometimes the icon will reappear after passing a waypoint only to disappear again. Happens in auto mode or manually zooming the display.
Same thing with the Approach Plate. I usually hide it until needed but the green Approach tab disappears. Like the ACFT icon it comes back when crossing a waypoint but disappears again.
One more on the Sidebar Status window. Occasionally it will show my Simulator as "Auto\Inhibit" in a grey font color. I guess that's coming from the FMS Legs page of the CRJ700.
Any help is welcome.

Restore the file from a backup.
Run the P3Dv4 installer and let it repair your installation.
Reinstall the "scenery.msi"
Any chance Airport Design Editor is involved?

Dirk,
What version of EFB are you using? I have v1.6.14.0 and it already does all that. Reads and indexes the scenery.cfg AND any sceneries added thru the addon.xml method.

Thnx Urs for the quick reply.
First off all, my aircraft's are all from IFly, I mainly fly the 737-800 with my home cockpit.
I agree there can be differences due to rounding but that's not the case here, I think
BTW I only use Amsterdam and Paris airports from Aerosoft (EHAM and LFPG)
And yes.....course disagree are there because there are differences between manual input and internal data.
I have updated EFB and IFly nav data so, in my opinion, there can be no differences between the displayed data like I showed in the screen shots.
Now, to put it simple.......where in EFB can I obtain the correct data to put that data manual in my MCP. ?????? (That's where you dial in the course for the ILS approach)
I can obtain that data from the Airac charts provided by Navigraph but in my opinion it should also be possible to get it from EFB.
Hi Jedeen,
I think you're under the assumption the Ifly and Aivlasoft AIRAC data are identical. They're probably not. I've run across numerous cases where a SID, STAR or approach is different in different developer's AIRAC. Depends on how accurate and up-to-date Navigraph (or Aerosoft) is with their data and how fast they are to update any changes. EFB can only read the data stored in its AIRAC, which might be current with the Jeppsen Charts or years old and in need of an update.
EFB does an excellent job providing you, the pilot, with all the information you need during all phases of a flight. Their Arrival or Approach maps show course, altitude constraints, nearby navigation beacons, frequencies, etc, just like the Jeppsen chart. Only difference is Jeppsen is current as of right now, today, while EFB depends on Navigraph (or Aerosoft) data which might be outdated. Both Navigraph and Aerosoft have user forums. Bring any errors or omissions to their attention and hopefully they'll get changed.

Can anyone provide an answer please????.
Richard
You have an old version pf EFB. Download version 1.6.8.33244 and see what happens.

Hi Jeff,
Had this same problem late last year after updating the EFB program. My paths to the Navigraph data were correct but for some reason it wasn't working. If I remember right changing the location (from whatever was in the EFB settings) to a new location solved the issue.
My current path in the EFB Data Provider is now "C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB\AIRAC", with the NavData and SidStars directories inside the AIRAC directory. Path in the Addon Mappings of the Navigraph FMS Data Manager is the same.
One thing I noticed in your above posts is you're using a forward slash when writing out the path, not a backslash. Did you .....?
Are you running EFB as administrator?
Hope this helps, but I'll keep thinking if there was something else.

Hi Colin,
I was never able to get REX Essential +OD working consistantly within FSX. Sometimes I'd get the current weather, sometimes not. When I switched to P3D I bought a new weather engine (Pilot's FSGRW) and solved the problem.
-
Does anyone know where the last route is stored?
Hi Ned,
Not at my computer right now, but I believe EFB's last flight is stored with all your other flightplans for FSX/P3D. Can't remember the naming convention used but when I saw it sitting there I immediately knew it was created by EFB.
-
I cannot seem to find wich folder I'm supposed to refer to to get FSrealWX working in EFB.
I have googled "the whole internet", but no luck so far.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
<>\data\exchange\common\current_weather.txt
Also... run FS Global Weather.exe and open the Tools menu > General Settings and check the "Enable Data Exchange" tick box. Description below that tick box should have the path to the weather file.
EDIT: oops! Looks like there's two weather programs with the almost identical names, FSrealWX and FS Global Real Weather. The above instructions are for FS Global Real Weather by Pilot's Software. I learned something today.

Hi A+,
I run EFB off one computer so cannot match your networked connections, but FSX and/or P3D do pause when you change something that causes new textures to be loaded. Going from day to night, spring to fall involves a whole lot of textures to be replaced and is not done on the fly like LOD might be.
Just did a flight from KENW to KINL with EFB running. Changed time and season numerous times, and while P3D did pause to load the appropriate textures, nothing bad happened like your mention of the time changing back. Even changed and re-actived the route with nothing bad.
What other programs are running when this happened?
-
Thanks Jerry, only I found out that for me it has to be:C:\FSX\AivlaSoft\Navigraph FMS Data
Frans
So then that directory has to contain "SIDSTARS" and "Navdata" .

Hi,
I have also a problem to install the Airac of Navigraph.
Did as suggested: C:\FSX\AivlaSoft\Navigraph FMS Data
but nothing happens.
This is the map structure:
Aivlasoft
958524da-978d-41c5-b566-d3a6fac59a6e.index
Aerosoft NavDatPro
Navigraph FMS Data
SIDSTARS <-- cycle 1411 OK
NavData <-- cycle 1411 OK
but in the bar od the display still stands AIRAC 1306
Hi,
In the Data Provider > Extras > Settings > Navigation data - change the path to " C:\FSX\AivlaSoft" . In other words, you want the directory immediately above where you have the "SIDSTARS" and "NavData" directories. Then make sure you select Navigraph as the FMS data provider, not Aerosoft.

Here's an updated KSNA. Runways updated to 2-20 Left and Right. Gate 7 fixed (I think.) Make sure you update the scenery database in EFB for everything to show properly.

Hi Frank,
Search this forum for "disappearing traffic."
-
building a database for EFB is a very complex process especially for version 2.0 because there are a lot more things which will be considered than in version 1.x when building a database. Nevertheless there are several intermediate stages that will be saved to reduce the overall build time when rebuilding the database due to a switch from one to the other simulator.
Hello Urs,
Well as luck would have it, I'm finding less and less interest in running FSX anymore. Developers, like yourself, are bringing more and more planes, sceneries, utilities, etc into the P3D camp that I find it a waste of time to bother with those not interested in the new growing market. So I guess my original request is no longer important, at least to me.
Thanks for the reply!
-
You don't mention whether or not any others programs are running at the time. FSX-specific programs, that is, like a weather engine, AI traffic, etc.
Does this happen with only FSX running? No EFB, REX, whatever?
-
In the Data Provider > Extras > Settings > Navigation Data, at the bottom left of the window did you select Aerosoft NavData Pro?

Hi Sharki,
Looks like LEMD changed the runway identifiers. It's fairly common and is covered in the EFB manual. Somebody deleted my manual (?) but I know it's in there, I've changed runway identifiers many times so it can't be difficult.

Please stop this!

Prepar3d, Aerosoft, Feelthere, etc, etc all leave remnants when they uninstall. These remnants are files they did not create or that were modified. Aivlasoft EFB has files in different folders which the user is able to change and/or modify. I don't understand why these user files are not protected in some way. The updater has no problems dealing with a folder which already contains files so "always cleanup ... obvious reasons" does not seem consistent.
Please reread the first two sentences of my original post.
The point I'm trying to make is to protect the user's data. Rename any questionable folder in the install path and let the user decide if his files are important to keep or delete. Updater already does that.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Jerry
