WebMaximus Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Today I had a strange problem I haven't seen before, when I loaded a saved EFB route from ESSA-EDDF I received the error message you normally get when the runway identification between the nav data and FSX doesn't match. Was very surprised since I did this flight many times before without any problems. Looking at the DataProvider window I got even more confused because it said 07L and 25R couldn't be assigned to an FSX runway but looking at the last line in the DataProvider window it reads 'Available FSX runways at this airport are as follows: 18, 36, 07R, 25L, 07C, 25C, 07L, 25R What could cause this?

Timonier Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hello, Have you already installed the AIRAC 1302 Revision 2 for AivlaSoft ? Not 100% sure it'll resolve your strange problem but why not to try Regards Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebMaximus Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Wasn't aware a rev 2 had been released so thanks for the HU, I'll give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebMaximus Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Just downloaded the rev 2 of the latest AIRAC cycle and installed it but never got the message I usually get from EFB when starting it after installing the NAV data so let's see what happens on next flight. But maybe there isn't a message from EFB for new NAV data unless you installed a completely new AIRAC cycle...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebMaximus Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Still same problem after installing rev 2 of the latest AIRAC cycle, am I the only one seeing this issue with Aerosoft's EDDF and where exactly is the problem - within the scenery, the NAV data or EFB? Would be the NAV data I guess since that is the only thing of the three that has changed lately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryJet Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 This seems to be the same problem I posted about for KSTL.

WebMaximus Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ah, that's it. Thank you very much Jerry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebMaximus Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 On a second note it seems the problem is not as easy as simply removing one of the lines because in fact they are not totally equal, see the answer below I received from Richard at Navigraph. Hi again Richard, I believe I have found the "problem" with EDDF 07/25R ... The problem is that EFB doesn´t support multiple ILS frequencies. Here a short part of the airport-file: FRANKFURT/MAIN EDDF07L09186068 50.037056 8.497078110.3006800305 <- IFEL FRANKFURT/MAIN EDDF07L09186068 50.037056 8.497078111.7506800305 <- IFNE FRANKFURT/MAIN EDDF25R09186248 50.045825 8.533717111.3524800353 <- IFWR FRANKFURT/MAIN EDDF25R09186248 50.045825 8.533717109.7524800353 <- IFNW Both runways had two ILS frequencies and therefore the 07L/25R are twice in the file. It looks like, that EFB can´t handle this but I can´t remove it because both are identical, excluding the frequency and the glideslope (3°/3.2°). I don´t know which frequency will be used in FSX and/or addons. Sorry Richard, but it looks like, this is really a EFB issue and should address there. Thank you, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi Richard and Jerry, thanks for the report. It's true, EFB Version 1.x cannot handle multiple ILS frequencies, but EFB reads the frequencies from the BGL files, not from the wpnavapt.txt file. I will have a look on how to fix this with the next version 1.3.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebMaximus Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Sounds great, thanks Urs for looking into it! Since you say EFB reeds the ILS frequency from the BGL would a temporary fix be to remove one of the lines from the text file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermaxkoller Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi Urs (using the actual Beta 1.3.7-2) I also had the same problem two days ago with EDDF, but I did not realize and was thinking that I myself made an error and continued flying!! Maybee you give us Beta Testers an updated Beta Version to test this. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi Richard, without having had a look into the 'old' code, I would say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aivlasoft Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi, tested and fixed. Version 1.3.7 sent to the beta testers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
