Is FSUIPC running and can you see it in your addon drop down menu in the sim?

Hi Urs, After some further testing I believe the fault lies with me. I was flying in Chile down from Santiago and I guess there is not much AI traffic in that region. Indeed, when I checked FlightRadar24 for the same time period the skies were pretty empty. Maybe the AI aircraft that I noticed on the Active Sky weather map were too far out to show on EFB It was only a couple so I will not lose any sleep. I've also done some other flights since, over Europe, and all the AI traffic appeared normally. I would consider this item closed. Many thanks as always. Kind regards, Ken

Hi Urs, Thanks for the quick response. The aircraft do not disappear immediately. In fact I can see them on the Global Map...but soon they being to vanish. I will do more testing and try to capture some screen shots so that you can fully see what I am. I will report back soon. Thanks again, Kind regards, Ken

Hi Team, Happy New Year. You don't hear from me very often, because the system normally works. However, recently, possibly after the last update Version 2.3 build #136, I have noticed that, once I depart an airport, I start to lose visibility of other AI traffic. I know it is there because I can hear the ATC comms, I can see it also on my Active Sky Map. I have Display AI traffic set to +50,000 and -50,000, which has worked flawlessly since I started using V2. If I sit at an airport and plane spot, it works without issues. The problem only seems to occur once I depart the airport zone. as I descend and arrive at my destination, the AI traffic remains lost on the map but present all around. It is almost as if the EFB is somehow losing data? I use a mix ot UTL and AIG. I even restarted UTL but it makes no difference. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Forgot to mention, P3D V5.3! Also, I can see aircraft listed on the Traffic Monitor on the EBF Server. Thanks and kind regards, Ken

Hi Bernd, In the EFB Client, Settings, then Aircraft TAB there is an option to Display AI Traffic within a specified height, both above and below the user aircraft. I have mine set at 60,000 feet for above and -60,000 for below and I have never had any issues with either AIG or UTL1/2 and UT2. Maybe you have checked these settings already. Brgds Ken

Hi Urs, Ok got it, thanks for confirming. I will use the traffic monitor next time to catch this. Many thanks, Ken

Hi Jonas, I think looking at that code it might be a typo. E17S does not exist in the ICAO DOC 8643 database; I think this should be E75S - ERJ-170-200 Short Wing. I shall amend that in the aircraft.cfg file and see if that makes ant difference. For my own benefit, are the ICAO codes hard coded into the EFB or is that something the user can add/amend? Thanks, Ken

Hi Jonas, I am using a mix of UTL and AIG, The aircraft in question is from AIG with the following entry: [GENERAL] category=AIRPLANE atc_type=SILENT atc_model=E17S I am not sure what you mean by the traffic list of the EFB Server, do you mean the Traffic Monitor? This is obviously blank now since the sim and EFB was closed down.

HI Urs, Can you advise me why the aircraft type does not display against certain aircraft - e.g. in the picture, KLM1486 n/a, where n/a should display the ICAO aircraft code. Does this information come from the [General] section of the aircraft.cfg file? Thanks Ken

Hi Lonewulf, Thanks for the detailed description. It was my own fault; I am so used to this not being an issue that I didn't even check the sidebar active waypoint ;-) I was too busy hand flying the SID to notice. I even have a sound reminder when a waypoint is passed but for some reason did not hear that either ;-) At least I now know how to remedy, thanks for your help. Brgds Ken

Hi Urs, I hope all is well. I rarely post on here as I rarely have any issues However, today I noticed that if the aircraft misses a waypoint in the EFB flightplan, the EFB does not continue to populate the data even if the aircraft follows the remainder of the EFB flightplan. E.e. I departed LEBB on the AMTO4B SID, However, this differed slightly from the track per the FMC procedure in the QW787 (using same AIRAC from Navigraph). As a result, the EFB waypoint BLV was missed and all the subsequent waypoints, even although the aircraft followed the routing after BLV. Is there any way to force the EFB to re-establish the link when this happens? Thanks Brgds Ken

Thanks Oskar.

Guys, Is there any update on whether FTX 4 is now compatible with EFB V2? Just about to do a clean install but don´t want to waste my time on FTX4 if there is still an issue. Many thanks, Ken

Doh Thanks Lonewolf! Cant´see the wood for the trees. Brgds Ken

Hi Urs, I don´t hear nay sound when passing over the waypoint in my Flightplan. The sound is assigned in the Sounds folder and if I press play I can hear it, However, I never hear it in the active flight plan. Any ideas? Thanks Ken

And, happy to report, no flickering today after the applying the fix above. Thanks ggerolamo Un saludo, Ken

Hi Urs, Same for me. However, let me say that this only started following the latest Windows Build installation and subsequent update. It has been working flawlessly for me up until that point. I narrowed this down to EFB by disabling all my addons until the flickering disappeared. And now I can reproduce it each and every time. I´ve moved the EFB window around to ensure that it is not near the main Sim window ( 3 monitors) but still the flickering. NB: It´s only when the client is running; ive not noticed any flickering with just the server. It´s almost impossible to try and capture the screen as it happens at irregular but frequent intervals. It is almost as if a message box is trying to load in the sim but disappears before it has time to load and all you get is a black line for less that a second. I have made the changes as suggested and will report back tomorrow. Best regards, Ken

Thanks Urs, FYI it only started happening with Airac 1907. brgds Ken

Hi Urs, Yes I do and just updated it also to Airac 1909. I had let my subscription lapse one month so missed out on 1908. Brgs ken

Hi Urs, Recently, whenever I rebuild the Database, I see rapidly scrolling messages containing Invalid Nav Ident messages. I am using Navigraph Airac 1909 but also noticed this with 1908. Have you seen this before? Also, NOT using Orbx Central V4, still on V3. Any ideas would be most welcome. Thanks Ken

Thanks Urs, ken

Hi Urs, It would appear that the Shetland Islands in Scotland have gained some very high mountains, with MSA at 21,2. I guess there is some rogue data somewhere, do you know? I´ve flown here IRL on more than one occasion and I can confirm no such mountains exists Many thanks Ken Moved to proper forum by admin

Hi Urs, Is there any possibility to configure the display screen to show the actual AI Flight Level/Height instead of the Flight Level/Height relative to the user aircraft? Many thanks, Best regards Ken

Hi Urs, many thanks for providing the transparent AI label option. The display looks so much better and uncluttered now. brgds, Ken

You beat me to it - but here are my settings if you want to compare: I add to the AirlineShort name as and when they appear on the screen.
