oskrypuch Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Having the flight number matching your VATSIM filed number, prevents the ghost showing when TFC is enabled in the client view. There used to be a way to set a default for your flight number when inputting the flightplan, minor issue of course, just need to put it in manually. Just installed into a new computer, and can't seem to find that setting. Is it still there? * Orest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Hi Orest thank you for bringing up this question. I did some tests to make sure I will give you the right answer. While testing I found a bug which I must have overseen in the past. The callsign will only be applied to a flight plan when this flight plan was imported as an ICAO formatted plan. I have to apologize for any inconvenience and I will fix it with the next update. It seems that I was too much focused on importing flight plans from SimBrief or PFPX when I developed this feature. For the time being the callsign is only applied to the current EFB flight plan if the flight plan was imported in the ICAO flight plan data format as displayed here: (FPL-SWR1662-IS -A20N/M -SDE2E3FGHIJ1RWXY/LB1 -LSZH0740 -N0459F290 DCT DEGES Z2 OSDOV M738 ADOSA L612 ALBET DCT -LIPZ0035 LOWL -PBN/A1B1C1D1O1S2 DOF/211121 REG/HBASA EET/LOVV0009 LIMM0018 OPR/SWR PER/C RMK/TCAS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskrypuch Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Well, my pleasure to be of help, and look forward to the fix. If I can import from SimBrief now, it may be academic. Will check that out. * Orest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskrypuch Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Actually, that doesn't help. We forward the flight plan from our dispatch, rather than (necessarily) the Pilot ID that is used to log in to VATSIM. But, given that I'm the primary developer, I can certainly amend that! * Orest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskrypuch Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Looks like you've fixed this already, thanks. * Orest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjoglove Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Just thought I would jump on this post rather than starting another. I am finding that when we import a flight plan from simbrief into EFBV2 it keeps the old (previous flight) flight number in the create flight template box in aivlasoft. I have to manually re-enter the correct call sign into the efb callsign box. I'm not sure if this is the same problem you had above (apologise if not). I didn't have this issue till I installed it on a new PC and did an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aivlasoft Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Ben, did you update Client and Server to the latest version? Can you describe how you import the plan from SimBrief? Are you using the downloader, or the built in function in EFB Client? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Version 2.3 Build #133) Simbrief downloader program as I have always doen which then imports it into the aivlasoft efb. The .efbr file is locate in the create file plan and routing etc is fine. It is just that the call sign is not updated to reflect the new one in the plan. It defaults back to the one previously used in the last flight. Hence, we have to manually change it to the new one.

aivlasoft Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Ben, the .efbr file format does not contain the callsign. When using the SimBrief downloader program, you will not get any information about the current callsign. That's by design. Just use the built-in download in EFB, which downloads an XML-file from SimBrief which contains all required information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
