  1. Don't worry, The main reason I will perhaps wait to buy has nothing to do with v2 release (it would have if I had learnt that I would have to pay full price even if I just bought v1 a few weeks before). It's just that I'm using FSX SE right now, and I am a bit fed up with lots of FSX issues. I'll probably buy a new computer for christmas and move to P3D v3. So I might wait until then...or not. So just personal reasons as you can see ! Regarding the VOR issue, just a suggestion (which you probably have already thought of anyway): If the quality of the navdata stays the same (meaning you have to "guess" the correct VOR), the algorithm should probably use the fact that the approach is aligned or not with the waypoints. In the example I gave, you know from the database that the final approach course for VOR08L is 086. And if you draw a virtual line from the first waypoint of the approach (the RNAV point) towards both VOR, you'll see that this line is 086 if going to PGS, and something totally different towards CGN. Also, you can note that this line, if using PGS, is not only aligned with the sequence of RNAV points describing the approach, but is also aligned with the runway. I know that all VOR approaches are not aligned with the runway, but IF there is one VOR which will align the procedure with the runway, it is PROBABLY this one. Charles
  2. Thanks a lot for your fast and honest answer, much apreciated ! I really like this kind of support from a developer. And by the way, I found the reply to my other question at the end of the EFB2.0 status topic, apologies for the double asking. Now, I don't know if I'll buy right now, but for sure I'll buy within 3/4 months. All the best, and looking forward to V2. Charles
  3. Hi, First of all, let me start my message by saying that I don't know if I am eligible for support because I don't own EFB, I am still in my one month trial. If I violate the rules in any way, just tell me and remove my post. Here is the problem I have: At LFPG, when selecting a VOR08L the Efb picks the wrong VOR. There are 2 VOR that are associated with LFPG airfield, CGN for the northern runways and PGS for the southern ones. Normally PGS is used for approaches on 08L/26R. But it is located on the east side of 08L, while CGN is on the west side of 27L/09R. So when you are at the FAP for a VOR 08L you are closer from CGN than from PGS. So in that case, EFB is using CGN as a reference for this approach instead of PGS (I guess because it is closer), but CGN is not aligned at all with the final approach course, whereas PGS is of course. Don't know if this is a known bug or if there is a workaround for this. Anyway your software looks great ! I'm still considering a buy, but am hesitating to wait for version 2. Sorry if this has been asked before but will there be any form of discount for v2 if you already own v1 ? All the best. Charles MOULIN LFPG ATC
