stratfordman Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I have just purchased EFB2 and what a great product this is. One question and that is am I right in saying that in the air you will only see Vatsim traffic within 40 miles of your position. I do have FSUIPC but not the registered one. I believe that in version 1 I could see traffic at an almost unlimited distance. Would appreciate some clarification please. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hi Michael, Yes, that's the default limitation set by freeware FSUIPC. In the paware version this limit can be increased.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratfordman Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 OK,many thanks for your reply, that is clearer now. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiloJuliett Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Michael, the difference to v1 of EFB is that SimConnect was used, where now in v2 it's FSUIPC to connect EFB to the simulator. Hence the limitation imposed by the free version of FSUIPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikelu215 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I have a pay version of fsuipc 5 and running 4.3 and it seems i can only still see 40 miles even with fsuipc set at no limit or of a cap of 500 miles... i can only see defualt of 40 miles... i miss when i can see everything... unless im doing something wrong ive read the docs many times. christopher adama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikelu215 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hey yes i did that and i was reading else were of poeple having the same issue i really with we stuck with sim connect as i never had the issue on v1 here are some screen shots. i have a pay version of fsuipc ive also tried messing with the ranges and same result. chris adama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikelu215 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 also the sim and efb {server} client are running with admin pvg. chris adama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewulf47 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Sorry Chris, Your photos are not helpful at all to see what you intend to show. Please use one of the many free screenshot utilities to provide meaningful pictures. From our side we have no reason to use SimConnect as it has many disadvantages over FSUIPC. The best means to check AI and Online Traffic is the traffic monitor. Whatever is in the traffic monitor is also in EFB v2. Nevertheless we should not forget that EFB v2 is not primarily a utility to show AI and Online traffic, it is an EFB. In addition to that I must also say that I use it daily several times on P3DV4 and never have the issues that you are reporting. in fact I do not use Online traffic but AI traffic at a pretty high setting and my traffic monitor shows a few pages of active traffic.

vikelu215 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I understand , its just the issue of when i log on to vatsim ,i am only seeing online traffic up to 40 miles around me. v1 didnt have this issue i have a paid version of fsuipc 5 and i have played with the numbers as you can see one screen shows the traffic how ever efb is not . traffic mode is selected and ive taken off the limit off of fsuipc .... any way to fix the issue of only seeing traffic up to 40 nm? i am using vpilot for vatsim... i see all the atc that are on but no traffic. they have to be with in 40 nm? chris edit i think i found the cause... vpilot has a cap in its settings.. :do not display a/c beyond XXnm ive done some testing with this and noticed if i set it to the max.. 100 i see maybe one or two more a/c .. when i put it back to 40 or less efb doesnt show what i saw at 100nm... hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikelu215 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 update number two... In fsuipc 5 there is no limit set for tcas and traffic means i should be able to see all traffic online right? now testing wise .. i am using vpilot to connect online... keep in mind theres no limit set in fsuipc... when i connect vpilot and check the settings i see a setting "do not sisplay aircraft" the next to it has a value.. witch max is 100.. so i connect and in the efb i can oly see a/c up to 100 miles....even though fsuipc is set to no limit... so i test it again this time lower it in vpilot to say about 20 just for testing... reconnect and apply changes now the efb is showing a/c only with in 20 miles... even though fsuipc has no limit... any way to change this bug or the coding to only match what fsuipc is sending out and not vpilot... seems like vpilot is controlling what is sent to the efb when connecting... i would like to see a/c greater than 100 miles like i did in v 1 chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiloJuliett Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Chris, vPilot is working as an injection engine for AI traffic. It has it's own limiters for good reasons. So has FSUIPC. As not both programs share the same available range to be entered, there is no chance for any kind of synchronisation. Just consider vPilot as another AI engine. You could also reduce the number of AI traffic in the default sim engine (usually a value in percentage). This is not synchronised with FSUIPC either. And there is also no reason for this. The limiter in FSUIPC allows you to chose the number of traffic shared via applications working with FSUIPC, a feature which allows you performance balancing and is certainly very clever. If you wish to make vPilot your "master" in terms of what number of traffic is used via FSUIPC, just set the limiter in FSUIPC to 0 (= unlimited) and you can immediately control the AI traffic limits via vPilot.

lonewulf47 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Chris, when it come to VATSIM/vpilot issues, you might want to wait until Jonas/Mr. ATC steps in again. He is the Online Expert. Edit: Ups, just one minute too late ? Jonas has already answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikelu215 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 i see all i want to see is all the traffic i used to see on v1 everytime i connected to vatsim... theres no other way to see all the traffic th en? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiloJuliett Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 You can't see more traffic than the VATSIM clients feeds you with. This is typically a limited radius around your position. This is not different from EFB v1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikelu215 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 ahh i see , ok one last question is it possible when i do see traffic that i can see there call-sigh with there flight plan speed and alt?.... currently when using vpilot and such i only see airline altitude and speed...not their callsign . or can i fix it though fsuipc... all the boxes are checked in the sim .. chris adama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
