Faisal Niazi Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi All, Hope you and your loved ones are staying safe... So I decided to purchase X-plane, and am trying to use EFB V2 with it on VATSIM... I have some questions: 1. What are the blue aircraft traffic that seem to be infront of the actual aircraft traffic... They all seem to start with the prefix "ACXX" ... 2. EFB does not always seem to sync up with the movement of the aircraft on the ground... I am coming from P3D, which runs on EFB with Zero problems... Am I missing something?

aivlasoft Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi Faisal, Blue traffic is 'live' where red traffic is a 'snapshot'. Details about traffic can easily be read in the manuals. Your second question is difficult to answer because 'not always seem' is a very vague formulation ;-). Does it happen regularly or randomly from time to time. How long is it not syncing up. Does it recover after n seconds. Are there any errors or warnings in the Client or Server logfile. How many 'add-ons' are running simultaneously?

N8 Little Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I just came across this topic that seems to have been unresolved. I see the same thing posted by OP. It only affects aircraft that are close and EFB starts to show the live aircraft. However, rather than replace the red icon, it adds a blue and the red and blue aircraft icons are both shown with the red icon trailing the blue. It looks like two separate aircraft and is pretty distracting. Is there any way to merge the two? Regards, Nate (aka N8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hello ??? (according to the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks) This cannot be solved as long as X-Plane does not properly provide the callsign of an aircraft (in this case the blue ones). On your screenshot you will see that the 'callsign' of the blue A/C icon on the left side is 'AC03' which unfortunately does not match the callsign 'UAL494' of the red A/C. Without matching callsigns EFB cannot eliminate the duplicates.

N8 Little Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Thanks for the reply. Would you be able to direct me to where I might find guidance on how to fix this problem in X-Plane? Thanks, Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hi Nate, you can't fix this. It's built in. Only Laminar Research could change this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8 Little Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I can live with that. Like OP, I've been on P3D for years and used the EFB all that time. I've recently started using X-Plane. In some ways, it works better in X-Plane (better taxiway labels). This issue is relatively minor. Thanks for your reply. Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
