A few problems / questions

Recommended Posts

Hi, I really like v2 but I’m having a few issues, I hope someone can help:

1) in v1 there was a vatsim overlay, which showed the sectors covered by online ATC.  Has that been removed?

2) whenever I click a button for a window which opens separately (all the options along the left), the window seems to open, and is there when I right click the client icon in the taskbar. But it does not appear!  This is for all options. Proc, radio, dir to etc

 

any ideas?

No, this has not been removed, just changed a bit. Please read the manuals and please see the several topics in this forum where this has already been discussed.

For a first look I should have the logfiles from the Client. But I don't expect to find much therein, this seems to be a glitch of Windows10. Did you update to the latest update of Win10?

Thank you for the reply, ill reread the manual as I must have missed this from my first pass over though I did search for VATSIM on this forum and could not find anything.

 

About Windows, yes its updated to the most recent version.  Also my Nvidia drivers are current.  Hardware is below, not sure it matters?

 

i7 7700k

Win 10

Titan XP

 

Im running the server and client from the PC which P3D is installed (also current 4.3 version).  I run 2 monitors, which im not sure matters however on a few of the windows which do open (FPL being one) it ALWAYS opens on my far left screen and halfway out of the border on the left (EFB is open on my right monitor).  Additionally, when I then move the window to screen 2 to be above EFB, upon closing and reopening the EFB, the window position has not been saved.

Thanks, I read that section and it connects to VATSIM, but there is still no overlay showing which signifies the area which a controller covers.

 

EDIT - Sorted, there is an option in the Misc section I did not see.  

 

I am still having issues with Window placement though :)

Please do the following to test:

- Start the Client

- Open any window (e.g. the PROC window)

- Move it to a place at your discretion

- Resize it

- Close it by pressing the 'white cross with the red background' on the top right corner of that window

- Reopen it. Now it should open at the same place as you closed it and it should be the same size as before

- Now close it again and exit the Client

- Start the Client

- Open the PROC window, and it hopefully opens at the same place with the same size

 

If this does not work, then I have no idea why this should not work on your system.

The window size and position is written to the "clientSettings.txt" file in the "Settings" folder within the Client-Datapath.

This all works fine, during the same session.  In the next session (after I close and open client and server) they are messed up again. 

 

But as mentioned, some windows do not even open.  They appear in the taskbar but they are not visible no matter what I do.

So the issue returns after you restarted the EFB server, is that correct? Do you run the server with admin rights?

Thats correct.  I dont know if there is a correlation with the server, or just the client, but when I setup for a new flight, the issue reoccurs.

 

EDIT: Yes, all ran with Admin rights

Looks like a Windows problem. If even windows do not open.
