ANY SUGGESTIONS apreachiated Do you have the standard window symbols in the top right corner? What installation path did you use for EFB v2? Did you try the Windows Standard Resizing Command by double-clicking the top bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it sounds as if the Client Window is larger than the display screen. What is the size of the screen you are using for EFB display? Is it a scond screen? Does it fulfill the size requirements of minimum 1280 x 960Pixels? It would be really helpful if you could provide a bit more details on your installation. This way we have to go back and forth to find out basics on the what's and whereabouts of your installation... A question though: why did you not use the default installation paths for EFB v2?

I am unable to help you this way. Please uninstall EFB v2 (using the standard Uninstallers) and make a complete re-install using the default installation paths. Then proceed to the setup as per Manual and when finished provide all necessary information as per Forum Rules, section 3. https://forum.aivlasoft.com/topic/2522-forum-rules-read-before-post/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Shepherd Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Sorry to have bothered you at 75 it takes me a bit longer to understand what is required re computers I have spent all day yesterday trying to get this to work and then THIS tried different screen sizes THE DEFAULT PATHS DID NOT WORK ========= Hi George, you have to set the paths properly, according to your current installation. Unfortunately for FSX-SE this cannot be done automatically. The selected database has to be in accordance with the running simulator, otherwise it will not work. WHAT I THEN DID MADE IT WORK --- BUT WITH THIS PROBLEM IF NOT RESOLVEABLE WILL AS FOR MONEY BACK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Shepherd Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Further if I may, took advice to uninstall and reinstall but did it the way that I got it to work, I now have the prog on my left screen (full screen) but now with the required icons I can now close it down or send to tray but can not resize by sides or corner BUT I can live with this. What I suspect happened is that I clicked the ( - middle icon X) which sent program across all three screens and hid the top right icons ---- NO intention of proving this. What are your thoughts on using teamviewer 14 to assist us auld yins Kind Regards George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewulf47 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi George, Thank you for the Support files. However there is still one important information missing: Where do you display the Client? On a second screen? in this case: What is the size and the arrangement of all your screen? Are you aware of the minimum requirements for a possible scond screen to be as per specifications to be read here: https://www.aivlasoft.com/specifications.html Screen Resolution: Minimum 1280 x 960 is required.

Badapple Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I understand what Mr. Shepard is referring. (I think). I would like to buy your product also but it is totally un-useful because the screen can not be shrunk. What do I mean? I would like to run the EFB on my second monitor. I also need to view my VATSIM connection on my second monitor. My second monitor is a Samsung 24" 1920 x 1080. EFB will NOT or CAN NOT be resized to accomodate my VATSIM which I use at the bottom of my second monitor. I can use the resize blocks you refer in the upper right hand corner of the EFB window, but it only will shrink a little bit and efforts to grab the window with the mouse on either side or the top and bottom to resize the window is futile. Your product is exactly what I am looking for in my flight planning and flight monitoring. But I will not buy it for the reason I and Mr. Shepard have told to you. Get the EFB window to resize to a smaller size and I will buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviator1979 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Hy Ursch i bought efb v2 this weekend, we mailed in connection with the coupon, i have also the problem that i cannot resize my client screen. The server screen is okay but i like to resize the client because (like in v1) i have a second monitor which i also use vpilot on. My screen resolutions are 1920/1080. I like to minimize the upper border a little. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the minimum resolution required for the EFB Client is 1280 x 960. Understood, but that does not give me enough room to run VPilot below EFB. I'm not being argumentive. Just stating that with the 1280 x 960 it leaves no room for viewable VPilot to run below EFB. I've tried every "resizing" option I know of. EFB will not shrink to allow another program. Its right in the math. 1080 - 960 only leave 120. That is not usable. As much as I like your product I can not buy something I can not use. Especially when other similar products do fit and are usable within the viewable area of my monitor. The problem I have is I really don't like the other products as much as yours. And I will not add a third monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
