dehart Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 In the radio part of client EFB2, I would like to add a transponder code such as 2000, IFR. Now I can only make a choice for 2000, VFR. How can I add this code? Moved to proper forum by Admin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewulf47 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi ??? (please sign your posts with your real name according to Forum Rules) What are you referring to with 2000, IFR? The description IFR/VFR has no influence on the transponder function. It is just a reminder for the general use of this code. If you want to squawk 2000, then use this setting. If you want to use any other code, just type in another code. There is however a file xpndr.txt in the settings path of the client (standard installation): "C:\Users\Username\Documents\AivlaSoft\EFB2\Client\Settings" where you can add your personal preferred codes in the format Code;Abbreviation;Description. Just add a line at the bottom with a text editor, e.g. 4523;IFR;private code and it will show up in the list. Make sure you restart the client after adding the line to allow the client to update its memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dehart Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hi lonewulf47, Filling in the ”code;IFR;personel code” in the xpndr.txt file, it then it is mentioned in the list, but after “clear” it and “set” it, only the code is indicated and no “IFR”. What is going wrong? Jos de Hart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is going wrong? Oh, I see what you mean. This is an explicit omission as we do not use the term IFR. Everything else than VFR or ABNORMAL/EMERGENCY is IFR. In addition the indication in this display window is for information only and has absolutely no function. The same happens if you enter another code manually.
