    Hung database load

    in EFB v2 - Support forum

    Posted

    I didn't know what to delete on the client side so I rebuilt the server database and that worked. Dunno how it loaded on another client fine if this was the problem. 

     

    Still all fixed now and can be marked solved. 

    Thanks

    Outdated ILS frequencies

    in EFB v2 - Support forum

    Hi,

     

    Is there anyway to get EFBv2 to scan my navdata from addon airports to highlight outdated ILS frequencies. I know its able to point this out when choosing an approach, but can I scan and produce a list so I can update any descrepancies before flying.

    Where would you copy it to? Just make sure you run the Database Builder after you updated the file in your sim. EFB will consider all the data your flight sim "knows".

    I would copy it here :-

     

    C:\Users\**USER**\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Server\DbBuilder\Base

     

    Where a copy of it already exists that may need replacing. Im sure you must have a copy on your machine.

     

    My hardware sim runs over several computers. Each sim avionics computer has a nav data folder which must contain the same magdec.bgl or things go weird.

     

    Im just checking this copy doesn't need updating too

    NL2000

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I'm sure you are aware of the NL-2000 freeware scenery for Holland. The installer prevents installation into the default FSX folder. I'm not sure why this is but the scenery files should be placed elsewhere on the hard drive or another hard drive.

     

    Does this mean when I update the data provider to scan my installed airports it will automatically find these after reading the scenery.cfg file or is there another workaround or should I manually move the files to the FSX folder ( which is undesirable if possible).

     

    Great program

    Many thanks

    says airac 1306

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    My EFB running on a second networked computer shows airac 1306 as loaded but I know I have the latest one installed on my server side of the program. I wondered why some of my sids were missing. Apart from this program works fine.

     

    Can someone confirm Navdata pro Path please.

     

    Any help appreciated

    Hi Travis,

     

    The plot thickens.

     

    1.Built by PFPX exported to FSX.pln format and imported to Electronic Flight Bag

    2.Built by PFPX exported to FS Commander and imported to Electronic Flight Bag

    3.Built by FSBuild exported to FSX.pln format and imported to Electronic Flight Bag

    As you can see only one of them (2) agrees. I would suggest the common denominator is Navdat Pro data.

     

     

    What say you?. Ill raise a query with them and point them to this thread if thats ok with you.

    Hi Travis

    If i export to fs commander and import that to efb all is well.

    Its the fsx.pln thats problematic.

    Exports to ifly are also fine. No duplicates. I have a forum ticket in with navdata update site to see if its rogue data from them.

     

    PFPX is an excellent program especially when coupled with TOPCAT. Adds the extra level of realism as i get deeper into this hobby.

     

    Ill keep you up to date but would like to get the original files back to fsx and see what happens as perhaps my reversal of data updates didnt work.

     

    Thanks

    Graham,

     

    We've received your route file. It indicates that the source of the route is FSX - so my assumption is that you may have changed your FSX waypoints and navaids and as a result they are not in the same positions as the NavData sources would have them. In effect, by using FSX as the source of your route it's telling EFB "start at EXMOR (which is at this position) and then go on to the next position...." Then when you add the EXMO1Z SID, EFB uses the position of EXMOR from NavData... which is different than where your FSX data places it.

     

    To test my theory, take your route's ATS string:

     

    EGGD EXMO1Z EXMOR UN864 TIVER NOTRO UN90 SKESO UN862 TERPO UM616 TUPAR UM184 CNA UN863 AGN UN727 SARGO SARG3F LEMH

     

    ... and paste that into your EFB's Route Setup -- Select -- Enter Route Description textbox. This would let EFB build the route using only NavData positions.

     

    That should give you a clean route with no duplicated waypoints or navaids.

    Your theory is quite correct. Does that mean I shouldnt import from FSX .pln files. I use PFPX . . what do you suggest ?

     

    Thanks

    That'll be that NAVaid update site I spoke about in an earlier post. I export from pfpx if that makes a difference. How can I get the original files back. However due to magnetic changes they are supposedly in more accurate locations than the originals.

     

    Ill look into it and post back my findings.

     

    Thanks for your support guys

    Hi,

     

    I restored the last airac cycle and tested . . . . .same problem

     

    I restored backup magdec.bgl and restarted fsx then checked efb . . . .problem still there.

     

    Below are waypoint details (lat/long) from the latest update. Without the correct maths . . are they the same when you convert them to the same format ?

     

     

    wpNavFIX.txt

     

    EXMOR 51.178611 -3.359722

     

    EGGD.txt

     

    EXMOR LATLON N 51 10.71667 W 3 21.58333

     

     

    Ill email you the files you requested in an earlier post.

     

    Graham

     

    EDIT where and what are the efbr files your need please ?

    Here also demonstrated is a VOR whos co-ordinates don't match

    Hope you can help.

     

    Ive posted a link to this thread in the navdata pro forum also seeing if they can shed some light on whats going on.

     

    Ive noticed that whilst flying, my aircraft lines up with approach and departure tracks but is slightly off course enroute. So maybe the enroute waypoints are incorrect in this set of data.

    Hi,

     

    Here is the pics you requested. Current Airac Cycle 1310 rev1 from Navdata Pro.

     

    This is happening at lots of Airports, I picked just 3. Seems maybe data being used from 2 sources. One for enroute and one for sid/stars

     

     

    EXMO1Z
