2024 EFB not clickable in the cockpit

Version: tested both 1.4.9.0 and stable builds

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Context: Any aircraft

Bug description: I can’t find a way to make the new EFB gauge clickable in the cockpit. The gauge displays fine when added using the new [EFB] section in panel.cfg, but can’t be interacted with.

Below is the mouse aircraft sample straight from 2024 SDK, with one wasm, one html, and one EFB gauge in panel.cfg.

  • wasm gauge is clickable
  • html gauge is clickable
  • efb gauge not clickable

Either it’s bugged, or SDK documentation is missing some crucial step needed to make it work.

Maybe this can help.

It does not help. Same problem there, no resolution.

Hello @some1

There’s a requirement for the EFB to be a SimAttachment at the moment.
The panel.cfg the EFB is declared in as well as the GLTF that contains the node and material it’s rendered on need to be in an attachment.
This should not be the case and we will address this in a future update.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Sylvain

Hi Sylvain, thanks for answering. If I’m reading this correctly, we can make our custom tablet object as a SimAttachment, and it will work? If so, that solves our current problem.

Cheers.

Yes, that’s what we expect.
