EFB Configuration
Stratux Europe Edition simultaneously supports three different protocols to connect to EFBs or Flight Simulators:
- GDL90 (Stratux will send unicast to all connected DHCP clients, using UDP Port 4000)
- FLARM-NMEA (EFB initiates the connection, using TCP Port 2000)
- Flight Simulator (X-Plane)
Different EFBs have different qualities in their implementation. This page is intended to provide experiences with different EFBs and how they need to be configured to work as good as possible with Stratux Europe Edition. Other configurations are possible, this is just what experience has shown to work best.
These settings apply as of 1.5b2-eu010.
