2D EFB Zibo on Air Manager

#1 Post by Richhall2711 »

I am using the TestFlight version of the iPad app 3.7 Air Manager. I am using the Zibo 2d EFB pad and have several issues with this. It does connect to x-plane 11 but i have a Red Cross on my iPad screen (image below) and i also have issues with several screens in particular the weight/fuel screen that shows the plane but no text or option to input any figures.

Have contacted the developer and am waiting for a response.

Would really appreciate any help

Thanks
Rich

For the red cross it could be that you're using a livery which is not a default one and someone made some change in the files where we shouldn't
, so the aircraft will not be recognized

For the additional Payload / Fuel / CG Envelope parts, they're handled in the Z_2D_XP EFB version 1.2.5 which is not embedded in the iPad APP (currently only 1.2.1), as the new instruments are part of a new iPad APP compilation and release, which is indeed not very soon
Nothing to do than wait until next compilation and release of the iPad APP

I also have to add new OPT pages added by @Zibo starting with 3_39_13d
so this will again be another story for the iPad APP

We're releasing 3.7 next month probably, so it might not take too long.

I am using version 3.7 as I’m a beta tester. I have seen this issue somewhere but can’t find it.

I am using the Z_2D_XP EFB version from the app. I understand about the updates etc but it’s just that it doesn’t work properly. Thanks for your reply anyway

Hello Rich

It is not that it doesn't work properly,
as already stated, @Zibo has added some new features since Z_2D_XP EFB 1.2.1
parts are handled in Z_2D_XP EFB 1.2.5 and last OPT pages should be in next 1.2.6 when I will work on it
Now you are only currently on 1.1.7 as shown in your screenshots, though no more than 1.2.1 is available for iPad users

So still have to wait the time when 1.2.6 will be ready, submitted to SI and then embedded by SI Team in next AM APP for iPad development and compilation, then publishing on Apple Store ...
still a long run ...

Gilles

[EDIT] corrected version number
