• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS20 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) SDK Sample - not able to get the changes compiled

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to get into EFB development using the SDK EFB sample for MSFS2024.

When I was working with SDK 1.4.3, I could compile and display it without any problems, however, I was unable to see any changes when I edit the sources, SamplePage.TSX and SamplePopup.TSX. I have no idea how the compilation works, and from where the compiler gets the sources. But the sample app at least appeared on the EFB.

In SDK 1.4.4, It is even worse - I get a compiled package, bot nothing is in it - just a stub. Nothing appears on EFB.

[EDIT] I got it to compile and produce output in 1.4.4. (forgot to use all the npm commands) but I am still not seeing any changes. I can even see the changes in the built TemplateApp.js, but they are not shown in the actual EFB in-sim. I DO see the changes, but only if I re-start the sim. Do I really have to re-start the sim if I want to see the changes???

Any idea what is going on? I find SDK samples to be incomplete and full of inconsistencies between documentation and code.

Thanks in advance!
