Thanks Travis. I just thought it was some kind of error, as it worked ok before. I don't see that entering the procedures at "flight time" with Aivlasoft EFB or entering it on the FMC would effect PMDG. It kind of makes having to enter the route twice rather a waste of time, and the route has to match exactly as well (?). Puts you off using EFB. You can save the route from the FMC and then use it again on another day anyway... John

When I try to save a PMDG Boeing 737-800 routing, the "write procedures" box can be ticked for Aivlasoft EFB and Microsoft Flight Sim, but not for PMDG RTE because it is greyed out. I would love to save the route somehow. Thanks John

Ok, thanks. If I go to a virgin FMC and just enter a Co Route file it will put in (for instance) EGSS and EGGW, but not the route. Previously, before I reinstalled the file links in Aivlasoft EFB after a change, it used to save the airports and all of the route (write procedure box not greyed out) but I think the SID and STAR you had to do again. I will try to save it from the FMC and see if that works (and where it is saved). John

When I try to save a PMDG Boeing 737-800 routing, the "write procedures" box is ticked for Aivlasoft EFB and Microsoft Flight Sim, but not for PMDG RTE because it is greyed out. Which means when I try and load the file into Co Route in the FMC it just loads the Dep and Dest but not the routing. It did work in the past but I must have changed something, and I don't know what to do now. The RTE files are being saved in the same place as when it worked before. Hope someone can help Thanks, John

Stansted runway 22 displaying 23

I didn't buy UK2000 Stansted until after I couldn't get it to work the without it. But UK2000 didn't work either.. Just now I discovered that Stansted Extreme didn't install properly so reinstalled it is and after "updating the data" it displays runway 22/04 in EFB!! Hurrah . I would love to know why updating "runways.txt" didn't work before; maybe one day some clever geezer will tell me. Anyway many thanks for your help, Brian. -

Thanks Brian. I will check out what you suggest. What I don't understand is why they say to correct the problem here: The "Runways.txt" file Depending on your installation the 'Runways.txt'- file can be found within the following folder: VISTA/W7C:\Users\[user Name]\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB\UserData WinXP C:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\My Documents\ AivlaSoft\EFB\UserData This file contains information about the correct assigning of FS-runway identifiers and navigation runway identifiers. Nothing about "the only way you're going to get this to work is to buy UK2000 stuff." -

Hmmm. Very interesting! Thanks. Now I have to find out how to get things pointing to similar files. I hope some clever geezer know how... -

Thanks Brian, the picture didn't come through though. The screen I would be most interested in is the page from airport information where you do a double click in the blank area above the General Info / Communications tabs and get the path to the scenery files you're system using. Don't know if I would get any clues from that.. Thanks again John -

Thanks, I did look for some other UK2000 entries and didn't see any, but will check later. Cheers John -

Thanks Brian Sorry the file is so small. For some reason I can now only upload a file which is only 3KB in size !!! I am beginning to hate the idea of this software... Cheers John -

The uk2000 was setup a couple of weeks ago. It's "UK2000 Stansted Xtreme, version 4.00" I have done the data update that you suggested. Could you do the thing that Travis suggested (above) to compare your scenery files that you have? "Open EFB, load EGSS, click the Airport Information icon, and once that dialog opens, double click in the blank area above the General Info / Communications tabs until you see a filepath and filename." Although I can't get that same thing to work today When I press the "Airport Information icon" I get a map of Stanted's runway. Mine is attached. Thanks, John -

Hi Brian Your up-to-date maps look soo much better; there might be 15 years from the old to the new though. This problem was happening before I bought uk2000 Stansted; it was just that one the guys that answered this topic (above) said that there his worked fine using uk2000. Wish I could get mine working. I need someone who understands how the system works to sort it out for me. It is just too much for me to know what to do next... Not sure if there is something like 'customer service' with the software to whom you can contact directly. Thanks John -
how to install checklists
jimihendrix272 replied to veshagoo2's topic in EFB v1 (Read only, no longer supported)
Went to http://aivlasoft.comand found the extra link to "checklists". Didn't realise it was separate from the software download but of course it makes sense. John -

This is the "airports" diagram I get for Stansted. John
