teisco Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Downloaded and installed the demo and think everything is correct. I start the data file and it states active and then the display and go into FX and use the shortcut for starting the display but nothing shows or happens.

aivlasoft Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hi, as per the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks. What exactly do you mean with "... use the shortcut for starting the display ..." since some words before you write that you have started the DisplayUnit already? The shortcuts 'BringToFront' and 'SendToBack' work only if FSX is the foreground window which has the focus. Please make sure that FSX has the focus. The other shortcuts will only work if FSX has the focus AND if EFB is currently displaying a chart or the flightlog. Please also read the operations manual, section 3, page 8.

teisco Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes I used the shortcut Show display while in FSX window mode and nothing happens. Are you saying no display, moving map or other, will show if I do not have a flightplan in place? Thanks for your reply, Paul PS, is there a video that shows how to use this software?

aivlasoft Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hi Paul, is there a video that shows how to use this software? To my knowledge there are many videos on YouTube about EFB, but to be specific, none of them is made by AivlaSoft. Just search for "aivlasoft efb" and you will get a list of some videos (most of them are in English, a few are in German). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teisco Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 No more help? I really would like to buy this software but I have to make it work first, any advice you could give me that would solve my problem would be welcome. It is installed correctly All shortcuts are correct it states that it is activated when I go into FSX But if I use the shortcut Show 'On Screen' nothing happens, no display, no map, nothing. I am sure it is something simple that I am missing or not doing but what? Thank's paul grubich golden age simulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG_Flyer Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Paul, How many monitors do you have? I'm guessing that you have one, but I'm often wrong when I guess. After you run the EFB Data Provider, what do you see when you run the EFB Display Unit? (And by that, I mean when you "run the EFB Display Unit" from a desktop shortcut or from your Program Files menu.) Could you post a screenshot of your Display Unit here, or could email one to me? (You can mail me via [my first name] at aivlasoft.com.) Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasterke Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi, this screenshot shows that you do not have focus on FSX : you have to click the FSX window before you can use the shortcuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teisco Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Sorry but you lost me there. I start the EFB and then start EFB display unit and then click on the FSX window and then use a shortcut? I tried that and no show. paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG_Flyer Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 It's been a while since I've used the shortcuts, but I'll do so today and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG_Flyer Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm using the default EFB shortcut keys and CTRL-SHFT-F11 will bring my EFB DisplayUnit to the foreground - in front of FSX. If this does not happen for you, please check that no other add-on or aircraft might be using the EFB default shortcut keys. The aircraft that I was flying used the EFB "show 'on-screen' menu" shortcut of CTRL-SHFT-Q for one of its views, so I could not get my EFB menu to appear.
