EFB update any time soon?

Laurreth

It's been far too long since the 0.1.9 update broke rather vital parts of the EFB. Tickets were all closed because the issues were already known and "being worked on". Fron the looks of it, other JF planes are using largely the same EFB, so I assume they either have the same bugs, or the issues have been resolved but aren't made available for the 146. That's a bit of a bummer since payload management outside of that is not great.

Oh yeah, fixing that one mater warning when enabling MWS test would also be appreciated.

In another topic they responded:

"We are aiming to have the next update to the 146 Professional released this week..."

I assume pasting the EFB changes over from their latest F28 update will be part of it, which might fix what they broke in last update.

Laurreth

It would be sweet to see, the 146 Pro is one of my favourite planes and I'd love to be less frustrated by it.

@laurreth The update has just been released: https://community.justflight.com/topic/3387/update-change-logs-v0-1-10-released-edited-8-9-23/1

@martyn Cheers, thanks for the mention :-D I've been reloading the changelog now and then.

Laurreth

@martyn That all seems to work fine now (user experience is a bit clunky with th way how number entry works on the "plane" page, but that's not too bad IMO), but importing plane load from a Simbrief plan only appears to set fuel, and leaves passengers and cargo untouched. Is that by design, or worth opening a ticket over?

Laurreth

@martyn And to add insult to injury, the on-screen keyboard broke on the 3rd flight, it's not showing up any more, and I cannot interact with the input fields on the plane page any more other than clicking on them to make them active or by using the far too coarse +/- controls.

This appears to be caused by the state saving feature and I opened a ticket.

Martyn

@laurreth Thanks for spotting that issue. It's now been fixed.

Martyn

@laurreth I've just tried importing a flight plan and it set the fuel, passengers and cargo. If that issue occurs again, please submit a ticket.

Laurreth

@martyn I'll ping support about that then, I suspect there may be something else fishy with that part of the system, maybe some bad data on my end, since state saving only remembers fuel and forgets cargo and pax.
