    Wrong gates at addon airports

    in EFB v2 - Support forum

    Posted

    Hello Oskar,

     

    I consulted the Aerosoft forum and it turns out that EFB2 was actually right all along. After some further digging, I realized that my other addons were wrong because my makerunways.exe installation in P3D v4 was not correct. I fixed this and now all addons seem to agree on the gates.

     

    Congratulations to Urs and the rest of the team that EFB2 was the only addon that got things right :)

     

    Cheers,

    Peter

    Wrong gates at addon airports

    in EFB v2 - Support forum

    Posted

    Hello Oskar,

     

    many thanks for your help, I just checked it out for EDDK. It appears that EFB2 correctly puts the Aerosoft scenery on top (see attached image), but the result may be incorrect (see, for instance, page 52 of the Jeppesen chart). I checked out runways.txt, which is created by Pete Dowson's makerunways.exe. Interestingly, it does not list the bgl file that is on spot 1 in the EFB2 information.

     

    The file on spot 2 is an old scenery that I have removed since I took the screen shot. I re-ran the database builder and makerunways and verified that the gate layout is still the same as displayed in my screen shot. However, since I removed that file, LittleNavMap shows the same gates as EFB2. So maybe EFB2 was correct all along? I couldn't find a more recent chart than the one above, I will continue to investigate.

     

    Best,

    Peter

    Wrong gates at addon airports

    Hello,

     

    I noticed that EFB2 displays wrong gates at many of my addon airports (such as FlyTampa CYUL, Aerosoft EDDK, ...). It may be that Traffic Global plays a role in this, which adds airports AFCAD files to my system. However, the priority of TG files is as low as possible (just above default scenery), whereas the addon airports are at the top of my scenery.cfg file. Other programs, such as FSCaptain or LittleNavMap do identify the gates correctly. 

     

    Any help would be most appreciated.

     

    Thanks,

    Peter

    EFB v2 server unable to start

    in EFB v2 - Support forum

    Posted

    For the last few days, the server doesn't start for me. It only displays a pop-up window that states

     

    Access to the path '<UserDirectory>\Documents\Aivlasoft\EFB2\Server\Logfiles\serverlogfile-5.txt' is denied,

    at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int 32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

    at System.IO.File.InternalDelete(String path, Boolean checkHost)

    at j.y.n.s.y(String A_0)

    at j.y.n.s.er(String A_0, String A_1, j A_2, String A_3)

    at j.j.j.y.v()

     

    I believe it is a Windows 10 problem. I noticed that I cannot change permissions to the EFB2 directory (which is read only), not even using the command line prompt as administrator.

    Approaches not displayed for LRIA

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Hi Urs,

     

    thanks for pointing this out. I had quite a few runway misalignments over the years, but never bothered very much about it and clicked OK instead of editing Runways.txt. Of course, adding the lines

     

    LRIA 14 15
    LRIA 32 33
    CYFB 16 17
    CYFB 34 35
     
    (I had a recent misalignment at CYFB as well) stopped EFB from reporting a runway assignment problem. However, that was not the actual issue that I wanted to report, and that issue has not been resolved by editing Runways.txt.
     
    In EFB\Navdata\Navigraph FMS Data\SIDSTARS\LRIA.txt
    you can find an APPROACH ILS15 and an APPROACH NDB15. However, neither is displayed on the EFB approach page. While I have seen many misalignment, I have never seen that EFB doesn't display an approach that is contained in Navigraph data. That's why I reported this.
     
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Approaches not displayed for LRIA

    Hi,

     

    I just wanted to report a small issue with LRIA. The file LRIA.txt contains two approaches (ILS15, NDB15), which are displayed on the FMC of the Majestic Dash8 Q400. However, no approach is shown in EFB. I use the latest AIRAC cycle (1513).

     

    It might be worth to note that EFB reports a runway assignment problem (Navigation data runway ident 14/32 could not be assigned to simulator runway). EFB displays 15/33 instead. I use P3D 3.0 and have no addon scenery installed in this area except for FTX Global. I ran Simulator scenery update only a few days ago.

     

    Best,

    EFB Windows 10 DU work around 'fix' found

    in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)

    Posted

    Just in an effort to try being helpful:

    on my Win 10 system, these fonts really seem to be the problem. If I remove AirbusPFD.ttf, AirbusPFD2.ttf, and CDU.ttf, EFB works fine. Furthermore, a few users have already provided alternative fonts that do work with EFB:

     

    A modified AirbusPFD2.ttf can be found at

    http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/97403-airbus-fonts-disrupt-windows-10-browser-font-display/&do=findComment&comment=694173

     

    and a modified CDU.ttf can be found at

    http://www.captainsim.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1438520565/0#6

     

    So for me, the only problem left is AirbusPFD.ttf.

     

    It may also be of interest that EFB is not the only program affected: I had display problems with Super Traffic Board, and other had issues with Microsoft Edge. However, EFB appears to be the only program that does not start because of these fonts.

     

    Best,

    Peter
