STRATOS MOSCHOS Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I was so happy with EFB v1 and i go right away to purchase EFB v2. To my great surprise i noticed that my money spent for nothing as i used it mostly for flighplanning and exported to PMDG, Aerosoft Airbus, FSX, etc. Now what? Am i going to purchase another flight plan program to export the flight plans of EFB there?? I'm VERY disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsk8 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Simbrief is a great flight planner and it is free. It has a free downloader that exports to EFB V2 and PMDG with one click. https://www.simbrief.com/home/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRATOS MOSCHOS Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 So why a free flight planner like Simbrief exports to other formats and a program of 50 euros not have this? I hope in a next update to include this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put in the departure airport, and destination airport and aircraft type and click one button and you have your plan ready to export to EFB and PMDG, Why are you making it so difficult?

Why the hell you need those in your initial flight plan? You only can have an idea, but no confirmation about the procedure you will need to use before you received ATC clearance. It's better anyway to have a routing without SID/STARs saved in the company database, so you can use the same routing again at another day when you fly the same route (and wind conditions probably require different procedures/runways). It's not the "normal" case that you load a fligth plan into either the FMC or any other navgiation tool (like EFB is one) with the runways and procedures included. You are either oversimplifying or overestimating. And EFB2 doesn't claim to be a pre-flight planning tool, just to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i have the plan from the beginning and if VoxAtc tell me a different sid/star then i put mine. I didn't buy twice EFB just to see my plane moving on the map! If you don't want to do it fine but there will be no 3rd time spending my money to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akila Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 OMG!!! i can't believe what I am reading!!! i read throughout the entire chain and I am banging my head on the table reading through your replies... the customer is asking about a deprecated feature he uses and likes and you guys answering him why he shouldn't use EFB and why he should use a freeware tool Instead!!!?? what is the matter with you guys!!?? he is asking About this program he purchased, he doesn't care about other tools out there!! and for sure he doesn't want to use multiple tools to do the same job he used to do in one tool (EFB v1). he is the customer and he knows his needs and what he wants... why are you arguing with him on what he wants and what is 'better' for his needs, for god sake?... Either you got an answer to his very specific question or don't say anything..Don't digress the subject/original question by forcing him to lay back on the features he used to work with as your perfect solution.. don't try and tell him that EFB he used to work with for Flight planing, etc. is not a good practice... maybe he should gone with the free tool alone after all!!! maybe this Product is crap (that is how you guys picture it & make it sound like, by suggesting your case of a much better free tool) my GOD!!! @bobsk8 - your 1st reply to him was great (offering him SimBrief as an alternative)... The rest of your replies, was trying to force on him your opinion as the perfect solution to his needs/problem. that is not the way to do things, sorry. @STRATOS MOSCHOS - your mistake was that you allowed them to drag you into this "Better planing Tool" debate/argument, rather than Just simply replying to them from the start "Thank you for your suggestion, but I would like to use EFB for that matter" end of story.. you had to put them back on track of your original question than allowing this pointless argument drowning on what tool has a bigger d****k on flight planing and FP exporting capabilities IMO the specific question he is asking could only be answered by the Product team itself, as they are the only one that designed the product and know why it is no longer supported. I am surprised that this chain was open for more than 10 day by now and yet we saw nothing from the Official support team. Does this suggests on the support level here (SLA)??? maybe we are better off with a ticketing system here than a support forum...heemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akila Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ohhhh, we got your point perfectly, your tool wins, best awarded FP tool ever for 2018!!, 5 Stars!! but that was not his question...the question was on EFB capabilities and why this feature was removed now back on track... do you know why this was removed?? because that is what we want to use like in the previous version (EFB v1.x), not some other shining tool out there. this is what we purchased and that is our needs..

If not, I would stronlgy recommend to get all relevant information about - All manuals were available before purchase for free - You could try a full 30 days for free before purchase Claiming that you have wasted your money under these circumstances is not really fair, is it?
