MikeJuliet Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Hi, congratulation for this new and promising release of the iconic - and in my opinion - indispensable tool for flightsimming. Allow me one question: What is the difference between the version 1 ground charts and the version 2 ground charts. aren t they both generated from the fs data in the same way ore are the EFB2 charts more detailed or precise? Thanks in advance. Kind regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Ground charts in EFB v2 are still based on what you have installed on your computer. However the charts show more details now (Chevrons, Threshold, ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAJ52 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 On the subject of ground charts, I departed London Gatwick yesterday (UK2000) airfield and was very impressed with the Taxiway markings but noticed there was no runway holding points. Other airfields like Isle of Man EGNS shows runway holding points - where does EFB2 get this information from ? Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing is in the BGLs, nothing can be drawn. Even Add-On Dsigners do not always include in their BGLs. If those lines e.g. are only "drawn" on the grpahic surface (bitmap), EFB v2 cannot see them of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
