bobsk8 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Since the last update, and I updated both, I get a really loud buzzer sound when the Client starts and sever is already running. Is something wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is something wrong ? Hi Bob, The "Buzz" is a warning. You should see the reason for it in the Status window and in the logfile. BTW, in the Sound Settings you can replace this sound by a more convenient one, if it is disturbing you too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, thanks, will check the status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsk8 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 What I see in the Status window when this occurs is "Server Log File " I looked ta the server log file, but couldn't figure out what I was looking for. serverLogfile.txt I have included the last file.

Hi Bob, The LogFile shows an error: 2019-09-10 20:06:33.149 Error : Could not add TCP client 127.0.0.1 due to: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. This is a mysterious error, that we have seen at very rare occasions. Normally EFB2 continues to work without any problems, so you can disregard it. I recommend to replace the Buzzer Sound to something more gentle like the Ding-Dong...😀 We will have te investigate what in particular causes this error on only a few machines. So far we haven't seen it in the combo Win10/Build #111, only with Win7/Build #111. TCP errors are very hard to trace, especially if they are kinda "self-sealing", i.e.the application continues to work normally. Sometimes it even disappears after rebooting.

I tried rebooting, still the same. Will see if I can change sound. What is that sound called? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bob, Nothing easier than that😀. Go to the Settings Page, Tab "Sounds", and mark the "Caution/Warning on Status Panel" line. The presently selected sound will most probably be "buzzer". Browse to the sound selection and select a suitable sound. I personally use "doorbell" for warnings. Sounds a bit less frightening...😁 Whatever sound you have selected, you can play immediately to check. What is more important for us to know is whether EFB2 continues to work normally (as it usually does) after this warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydigital Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I've never had this problem before the last update, it only happened since build#111 came out the other day. I get the same TCP warning in the server log window view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewulf47 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 To ALL: We are tracing this misbehaviour at present and we are positive that an update can be released soon. It is not dependent on the way of installation (remote or common), but only on certain specific installation configurations. Apart from this it must also be said that EFB2 is functioning normally despite this false Warning Trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsk8 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 One more issue and I don't know if this is related or not. I am current;y flying into many airports in the Bahamas, due to a Tour in the VA I fly for. I see the weather perfectly in AS 16 for all the airports, but when I go to the ARR or DEP menu in EFB it shows no weather at all. Just the procedure and Performance. Here is a list of the airports I have run into this already. MYMM MYGF MYAT MYSM MYEH I am using AS16 and live weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After checking it seems that this issue just just the airports in the Bahamas area, and I have a feeling that it is due to hurricane damage to the weather stations there. Have no problem with airports outside of the Bahamas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
