NedHamilton Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 You have added an option to allowing saving a flight plan in a format that can be used by Prosim which is very useful. But there is a slight 'bug' or inconvenience. If a flight plan is saved to the Prosim companyroutes.xml file and that route is exactly the same as another route already in the companyroutes.xml file the new flight plan will be added with a numbered suffix as the route name. Prosim doesn't save any SIDs or STARs in its company routes so if a user changes an EFB route's SID or STAR and presses the save button, and if the user isn't careful, the new route will be saved in the Prosim routes even though it is the same as the previous one. Seems like if the flight plan is the same as an existing one in a Prosim company route it shouldn't be saved again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nax228 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Haven't played around with this for a while, but remember we had to add a space in the coroute for the plans exported from EFB. "EHAM EDFF" insted of "EHAMEDFF" Hope this is also taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nax228 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 We are a few fellow norwegians that utilize loading COROUTES from url. Whenever one of us have a new route to share, we can upload our local coroutes.xml via a mergeing solution in our forum for the other pilots to use. All the routes created with Aivlasoft EFB will display with a space betwen ORIGN DEST. Routes created in Prosim instructor station, eighter directly or imported from VRoute, will appear without this space. In fact, I have never experienced routes beeing saved with a SPACE in route name in other software. The routes can only be loaded into CDU as a coroute if typing is correct, and the fact that we have to guess if a route is saved with or without SPACE is not good. This should be fixed. As there is no options as the "Change" feature for other addons, this could be permanantly fixed to NOT have the space. We do not need an option to insert a space or anything else in the prosim737 saving. Only ORIGNDEST. Here you see how the output of the companyroutes.xml looks. You can spot witch routes is created with EFB and those created by PS/VR (in red)... 14 ENGM ENBR ENGM ATLAP N623 PESUR ENBR 16 ENGM ENVA ENGM NUVSA ENVA 17 ENGMEKCH OKSAT L996 SVD 18 ENGMENCN TOR P850 OSVAL 19 ENGMENML EVTOG L997 OSVIG P615 TONDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hi Geir, I will change the flight plan handler according to what you have described. 14 ENGM ENBR ENGM ATLAP N623 PESUR ENBR 16 ENGM ENVA ENGM NUVSA ENVA 17 ENGMEKCH OKSAT L996 SVD 18 ENGMENCN TOR P850 OSVAL 19 ENGMENML EVTOG L997 OSVIG P615 TONDI When I look at the red lines I can see another difference: the routes in red do not have the airports added again in the routing part like EFB does. Is that a point that should be fixed too? Question: what happens if you want to add a second, a third ... route from the same origin to the same destination (e.g. 3 different routes, all from ENGM to EKCH)?

nax228 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hi Urs Been on vacation and havent payed attention to the forums for some time now, so I've missed your reply. Thanks for fixing this issue AND pointing out that the routes created with efb also have the orig/dest icao's in the saving. I actually think Prosim can handle this even it's not according to it's own saving configuration, but I think it will be the best if you make it look like the original routes, here in RED.

nax228 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 For the last question is regarding similar ORIGN/DEST, a 1,2,3... is added in route name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hi Geir, can you give it a try? Here's the link to the updated flight plan handler: http://www.aivlasoft.com/8X0QfDFdtUAJLCQs/AivlaSoft.FlightplanHandlers.ProSim737.dll.zip Proceed as follows: - Download and unzip the .dll file - locate the EFB "[installationFolder]\plugins" directory - save the current ProSim737 handler to a backup place - quit EFB DisplayUnit (if it is running) - replace the ProSim737 handler with the downloaded and unzipped .dll - start EFB DisplayUnit - save flight plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aivlasoft Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Geir, do you have the latest version of EFB installed (1.6.8)? Can you verify whether you have version 1.6.0 of the "AivlaSoft.Efb.IFlightplanHandler.dll" in the installation folder of EFB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nax228 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Hi Urs I'll be out of town for a few days, but will check and report as soon as i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nax228 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi there My EFB is v. 1.6.8.33245. Regarding the FlightplanHandler.dll, I cannot find any info about the version, but it must have been installed at the same time as my last full install. It's dated 24.08.2015... The install is done later as i remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Geir, 24.08.2015 is the old/previous version. Please see my posting #8 above where you can download the new file from 05-08-2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nax228 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hi Urs Post #8 have the prosim route handler dll, but not the AivlaSoft.Efb.IFlightplanHandler.dll. The Prosim dll is placed in plugins folder, and the AivlaSoft.Efb.IFlightplanHandler.dll is in root/install dir. Please inform/link where to download the newest AivlaSoft.Efb.IFlightplanHandler.dll, and I try again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nax228 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hello I just downloaded the full installer, and that package included AivlaSoft.Efb.IFlightplanHandler v. 1.6.0.0. Please update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Geir, the "IFlightplanHandler.dll" (which contains the interface definition) has not changed. The one that is included in the installer is still valid and must not be replaced. Only the "ProSim737.dll" (which contains the logic for saving the flight plan) has changed. First we must know whether the "ProSim737.dll" is working properly before it will be included/replaced in the installer. Please verify that the "IFlightplanHandler" (which must be located in the installation folder) is from 2015 August, 24th, and then please replace the "ProSim737.dll" which must be located in the "plugins" folder with the one from post #8 herein. The latter has a date of 2016 August, 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aivlasoft Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Geir, thank you for testing! What exactly means "does not work"? Do you get any error messages, or can you not save the route, or is the file "companyroutes.xml" mixed up, or ... Please have a look at the following screenshot. It shows a simple route in EFB and the content of the file "companyroutes.xml" after pressing "Save" in EFB. Is the content of the file OK, or is it wrong?

nax228 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi Urs I got the same error as last time during startup. If i Cancle it, efb loads, but the prosim xml isnt in the list of addons when trying to save. Your route looks perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi Geir, maybe I have found the cause for the problem. It seems to be a security problem because the DLL was copied manually from the origin "internet" instead of "local" when it is installed using an installer. Please have a look at this forum where someone ran into the same problem and he got a very interesting answer. Maybe it's the same problem on your computer: http://www.chilkatforum.com/questions/8260/could-not-load-assembly-operation-not-supported-exception-from-hresult-0x80131515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aivlasoft Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi Geir, good to hear that it worked. Thanks very much for testing! Security is much more a concern in Windows and I have also learned something new when copy/paste DLL files . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
