NedHamilton Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Is there any way to change how often the VATSIM frequencies get refreshed? Very often a new controller comes online (or goes offline) and it takes several minutes for the frequency to appear on the charts. It's not due to the data not being available on the VATSIM server because I see the new frequency on SquawkBox long before EFB picks it up. Thanks for any info.

aivlasoft Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Hi Ned, EFB (as a commercial software) is not allowed to refresh the data before 2 minutes ... That's what VATSIM told us. In other words, no, there is no setting which can increase the refresh-rate. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedHamilton Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 But can't you put a refresh button on the app so that I can manually refresh the VATSIM data? Surely VATSIM meant with the 2 minute restriction that software can't do automatic updates. But a user should be allowed to update manually. After all Squawkbox updates more frequently and several apps like VatSpy and Vatmap have refresh buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 SB, vPilot, FsInn, VatSpy and VatMap are all free, EFB not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
