GG_Flyer Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Alfredo, We are almost ready to publish EFB 1.5.0, which will have Prepare3D 2.0 support in addition to several more weather engines. EFB 2.0 will be available in 2014... Fathers Ted and Jack would approve... if their eyes could stay open. In the next few days, my family's gathering together with food and presents and frivolity for the expected Christmas regeneration, (and yet I thought there could only be 13 ???) - still we hope all will be well with you and yours as with all flight simmers.....

Timonier Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hello Travis, Any chance ... today for the version 1.5 ??? Best Regards and Merry Christmas from Belgium Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG_Flyer Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Marc, Merry Christmas from California! EFB 1.5.0 should be released on Christmas Day. Urs has finished with the German manuals, and will "sleep on it" and do a final build check. If nothing is wrong, it should be posted tomorrow. I'll be around later in the day in case any "support" is needed. Best regards and as always thank you for your custom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsahemi Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Thats awesome news but will it work in windows 8.1? I am having trouble now with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG_Flyer Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Since neither Urs nor I have Windows 8.1, I cannot say for certain. But since it's been recompiled with hopefully "more compatible" components, perhaps so. You can download it now and report any differences.

GG_Flyer Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 OK I have great news for windows 8.1 users. It works perfectly Oh super! We had positive tester reports, but nothing beats a positive customer report! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 But it doesn't work with Windows 8.1 RT. That's what also a customer has reported some days before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falopz Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 any update in release date of v2? luis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300leex Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Please also consider support smaller screen size, or add scroll bar in DisplayUnit. I have a smaller laptop I use as client to run EFB and other addons, no problem with other addons but EFB window can't display properly due to the resolution requirement. I believe there are other people with the same demand. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Minimum height of the screen resolution will be 768 pixels. Portrait orientation is no longer supported, only landscape. This is due to the fact that in the last few years more or less only wide screen displays with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10 have come to the market.

RayProudfoot Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Urs, I'm using an 18" TFT with a 1280*1024 resolution for v1. I hope to be able to use it for v2. Will the new layout still suit a 4:3 display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300leex Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Urs, Thanks for the answer. Max resolution on my laptop is 1366*768 with font size set to "small" but I still can't see the buttons in bottom of DisplayUnit. I will further test it tonight and make a new post with sceenshot if the problem do not resolve. I'm not sure how it works and if it is possible but my suggestion is why not make the DisplayUnit with scroll bar so people can scroll down to the bottom like other program? it could save a lot of trouble. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Ray, it seems that you have the same TFT like me. Yes, the resolution of 1280x1024 works fine with version 2.0. Of course 4:3 is still a good option, but portrait is no longer supported because of the new layout which tries to leave as much room as possible in the vertical direction. This is one of the not-so-good-things in EFB version 1.x, especially on the approach chart. I'm aware of that and therefore all possible data has been moved to the side.

RayProudfoot Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Urs, Thanks for your reply confirming a 1280*1024 display will still be fine for v2. There is the option of course in v1 Approach mode to hide some options so you have more vertical space. I tried it on my laptop but the 18" 4:3 display is still better.

JerryJet Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hi all, If this has been brought up previously, excuse me, and think of this post as a "+1". It would be nice if V2 of EFB had the ability to communicate with different flight simulators without having to rebuild databases when switching from one to the other.

aivlasoft Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Jerry, building a database for EFB is a very complex process especially for version 2.0 because there are a lot more things which will be considered than in version 1.x when building a database. Nevertheless there are several intermediate stages that will be saved to reduce the overall build time when rebuilding the database due to a switch from one to the other simulator.

wycliffe Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi Urs I hope your well ,just catching up to see what you are upto. I see that Travis had a bad year last year I hope he is well. Any news on the xplane aspect we discussed a while back. Wycliffe P.s still using and loving xplane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hi Wycliffe, thanks for coming in . X-plane is still on the plan but it will not be available with 2.0. Maybe 2.1 or 2.2. The release version 2.0 will support FS9/FSX/P3D because all of them are available through one single interface. X-Plane requires another one and I did not have time yet to study that other interface and the entire database structure which must also be known before I can start to develop.

Firas Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just Like other members here have mentioned before me I also cant Fly any more with out EFB , and By this I cant wait to see what you have added in version 2 Many thanks EFB has Changed my Flying hobby to the best many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryJet Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 building a database for EFB is a very complex process especially for version 2.0 because there are a lot more things which will be considered than in version 1.x when building a database. Nevertheless there are several intermediate stages that will be saved to reduce the overall build time when rebuilding the database due to a switch from one to the other simulator. Hello Urs, Well as luck would have it, I'm finding less and less interest in running FSX anymore. Developers, like yourself, are bringing more and more planes, sceneries, utilities, etc into the P3D camp that I find it a waste of time to bother with those not interested in the new growing market. So I guess my original request is no longer important, at least to me. Thanks for the reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
