AvPlan EFB will now receive location information from X-Plane.

Enabling Microsoft Flight Simulator/ Prepar3D interface

Connecting AvPlan EFB to Microsoft Flight Simulator or Prepar3D requires additional modules and settings need to be completed before being able to connect. This procedure is beyond the scope of this particular manual. For more detailed instructions, download the AvPlan EFB – FSX Connection Guide for further guidance on this process:

Follow the same instructions/settings for Flight Simulator X as for Prepar3D, as Prepar3D is built from the core of FSX.
