December 25, 201213 yr I can't figure out (using the internet) if the EFB approach charts are real world charts or fake ones created by EFB based on FSX and AIRAC information... Anyone here who knows this?
December 25, 201213 yr To the best of my knowledge EFB generates the charts based on the AIRAC information, so in that sense they are fake. John-Alan Pascoe
December 25, 201213 yr If your looking for UK charts, I use these e.g EGNX http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/public/index.php%3Foption=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=60&Itemid=109.html David Murden.

December 25, 201213 yr To the best of my knowledge EFB generates the charts based on the AIRAC information, so in that sense they are fake. Ok, thanks! If your looking for UK charts, I use these e.g EGNX http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/public/index.php%3Foption=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=60&Itemid=109.html Wow, great site! Exactly what I needed. I just had a look at the initial approach chart for the Hearthrow 27L ILS and it exactly tells me what I needed/wanted to know (the STAR in the PMDG 737NGX FMC didn't tell me enough and I see now I need to add a speed constraint at a certain point: up to now I always came in too high and too fast). Think I will forget about EFB again (also because the charts aren't real: I also just read somewhere that for instance DH is the same FSX default on all charts and not the real one).
December 25, 201213 yr From their website, fake.... "Aeronautical Charts The charts you need for your flight are rendered on demand, based on several sources like flight simulator data and Navigraph FMS data (SIDs, STARs and Approaches). One complete Navigraph AIRAC cycle (1101) will be shipped together with the installation package, so even if you are not a subscriber to the Navigraph service, you are ready to start flying. Many thanks to Navigraph for this generous gesture. Current revisions of the navigation data may be purchased from www.navigraph.com." http://www.aivlasoft.com/products/efb/index.html Jay
December 25, 201213 yr Well that charts are there and they have the altitude restrictions, glide path angle and frequencies. It would be nice of they had all the information like a real chart does. Truthfully I would like to say that for $70 I use it all the time, but I don't. Stick with the free charts. Lee

December 25, 201213 yr Thanks all, I'll stick with free charts indeed. I fly in England all the time now and link that NyxxUK posted is all I need. I was thinking about the EFD because the idea of having everything right there at your fingertips looked nice, but if it isn't complete I'd have to look for pdf's online anyway. And btw that link almost gives me everything at my fingertips too.
December 25, 201213 yr I know I was talking about the Aivlasoft EFB though. Well, it's your choice to pay for fake charts!!! I'll continue to get real charts for free! Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
December 25, 201213 yr I prefer to look at them as "synthetic" charts rather than "fake." I typically don't use them where I have Jepps or Navigraph plates, but they work in the absence of other options at some of the lesser-travelled worldwide destinations.

December 25, 201213 yr EFB isn't just about charts...there's quite a bit more to this program than that. Wayne KlocknerUnited Virtual
December 25, 201213 yr and am I to understand that you have now concluded after all this approach chart generation battering you think FSX is now real? Good to hear. Next thing you know, we will hear that Orbx England is real and all that other stuff you see out the window of the airliners is fake. Merry Christmas all. Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
December 25, 201213 yr Well, it's your choice to pay for fake charts!!! I'll continue to get real charts for free! I dont understand why you are getting upset? I didnt try to persuade you to get the Aivlasoft, I was just saying what I know having owned the product. I do like the product I find it quite useful. Would I but it again? Probably not, not for $70 anyway. I would be a lot happier if I found a good program to use to get it on to an Ipad. I understand Air Display has an fps impact? lee
