Just myself personally but I don't believe for a second you were moving even if this was supported which was validated when someone told you how they use the default EFB in 2024 and you responded with So even if this EFB was supported your next response confirmed you were never serious about moving, when someone suggested it you came up with PMDG as your "next" blocker... Sorry if I don't believe this was a genuine attempt to get you into 2024 but more of "another reason" not to... You sound like you are about to have a nervous breakdown, if someday, if and when 2024 gets past the Apha stage, I purchase it. Do you always get so obsessed with other people's decisions?

What are you on about? One post is an obsession? If so you are far more than obsessed... If you are driving down the road and you think the car in front of you is an a-hole for how they are driving there is a good chance they are an a-hole if EVERYONE else on the road is an a-hole then chances are the problem is you...

January 22, 20251 yr Moderator @psolk, if Bob moves to 2024 he can only use EFB if he relies on keeping 2020 installed. Over time the two will become different. If he wants to keep using EFB then staying with 2020 is his best bet. Ray (Cheshire, England).

January 23, 20251 yr I managed to download the 30 trial and play around with it and it reminds me of LNM. This video was very helpful: We are so blessed to have a free planner with MSFS 2024 that is so good, and getting better, that most of us will not need to spend a dime on an external planner. MSFS
January 23, 20251 yr On 1/21/2025 at 9:40 AM, Bobsk8 said: One of the nicest features of Avliasoft is when flying into an airport, you can easily see the wind, active runways, Stars, and transitions. You don't have to juggle with different pages of charts, just select runway, star, and transition and see how it looks. Don't like it, select another. This is a royal PIA if you have to look at different charts. Not sure if folks know, but this can also be easily accomplished on the MSFS 2024 Flight Planner website. Simply clicking the airport on the map or typing in the search bar and selecting it will bring up the airport information pane, which has the airport details, longest runway length, surface, best runway with current winds, a weather summary, and more. You can then click the Procedures button to get a graphical overlay of all the procedures on the map and their information; this page also allows you to filter procedures, you can even add the procedure to your route by either clicking the + icon on the map or on the page itself. And you can also go directly to the chart for the procedure if you like directly from that page, no need to go to the charts page and rifle through those. If you add the procedure to your route, any charts relevant to the procedure will automatically be added to your Kneeboard, so you're never having problems single pilot trying to do a bunch of clicking finding your chart amongst a pile of them for the airport. On top of that all, you can also do much the same thing with the planner built into the sim EFB. The airport info pane gives you all the runways with wind components, and on the route page if you go to select a procedure, it is overlayed on the map for you so you can see what it looks like ahead of time, with a list of the procedures and transitions you can browse through. Just like the web version, any relevant charts are automatically added to your Kneeboard, so they're ready to go when workload is high.

February 8, 20251 yr I have both msfs versions installed - 2020 and 2024 and they both share a single copy of FSUIPC7, the version I am currently running is 7.5.1. If you add the following two lines into the FSUIPC7 config.ini (General Section) then EFB should work fine. When using 2024 you need to start the EFB server up first before loading up the sim as the first line of the code tricks it into thinking that you are running 2020. The second line of code enables you to see the inflight aircraft as since the latest updates of FSUIPC7 you could only see the aircraft on the ground in Airport Mode. The two lines of code are: Init3308=13 AIAboveGroundLimit=100 I have used Aivlasoft EFB for many years and it has been a great piece of software. Aircraft coverage in EFB is 25 to 35nm approx. for LIttleNavMap you can get upto 60nm.

Thank you RichardA you are a gem... this is wonderful.. we should now be able to use Aivlasoft for at least the next 4 years..... woo hoo
February 9, 20251 yr To all the pilots that are just finding out about Aivlasoft and dismissing it as old hat and the new 2024 tablet is better.... you just dont get it ... Edited February 9, 20251 yr by aerostar

February 10, 20251 yr Moderator @RichardA, Such a useful post for all lovers of Aivlasoft EFB. This needs a separate post which can go into Tips & Tricks. Can you please create a new post in T&T with the relevant info and I’ll lock it. 👍 Ray (Cheshire, England).

Thanks Never mind, I tested it and it's fine. Thank you so much. I still use Aivlasoft for the ATC tab and love the Vertical display of the aircraft in the Arrival mode. Everything else I use Navigraph charts.
