Still problems with high ASCII folder names?

[Mathijs Kok 32803]

Are there still people with MyDocument folder names with high ASCII characters that see issues using the EFB?

We just tried it with very weird folder names and could not see the issue anymore.

Okay, thanks for the reports, we'll try to fix that this week.

Just a quick additional question, exactly WHAT does not work on those systems?

[mopperle 3303]

I think it is this typical error: "webbrowser failed to load url...."

[Mathijs Kok 32803]

okay, merci.

C:\Users\Sergio Hernández\Documents\Aerosoft\General\A3XX EFB\A330

 

That´s my route

Just to let you know, guys: this issue is not forgotten. It has a higher priority, so recently I made related changes in my side.

And now we're waiting for another developer's input, it will take hopefully another few days.

The new update doesn´t fix the error....

[Mathijs Kok 32803]

We know, we are still trying to find a way to solve this. Not easy.

Do note that every add-on using this tool has the same issue so pressure is on.

Guys,

I think the EFB should work with your paths now. Please try the updated build, see the attachment.

Just overwrite the old build located in "Panel_Fallback\WebSimGauge" folder of your specific aircraft.

But in case of the problem persists, please close the sim and upload the "EFB_Ctrl.log" from the "Data" folder!

 

Next: I wonder do other modules work well in your end? Does this problem takes place with EFB only?

Thanks.

EFB_Ctrl.dll

[apaloosa96 4]

It works perfectly now, thank you!!

[Mathijs Kok 32803]

Thanks for that report! Good to see a long lasting issue solved.

Thanks for reporting!

So, do other modules work well in your end? No problems with a navdatabase, for instance?

 

[scampion 2]

I can also confirm that it works with the new EFB_Ctrl.dll file !

 

thanks !

[mikvir 1]

Everything works perfect on my side now. Thanks!
