New User: Needs Assistance with EFB

Hello

Im Tim and am very new to MSFS and gaming period. I started a private pilot game tonight and am already stuck on the part where you enter the plane and look at the EFB. I apologize if I am in the wrong forum, Im pretty dumb to forums too. Any help would be great.

Hi @RedBaron7275 and welcome to the forums! :slightly_smiling_face:
I’ve moved your post into this new topic so other users can assist with your question.

It would help to know which aircraft you are using, & if you could provide a bit more information on where / what is the sticking point, that would be useful too.

Thank you so much and agin I apologize I know next to nothing about computers. I started the private pilot license using the Cessna 172. Since I haven’t played MSFS in years I figured start at the beginning. If this helps I just completed the walk around moving chalks, and covers. I moved the ailerons and everything. It then says get inside and check out the EFB. I zoomed in and tried to mess with it for a while but I’m still stuck there. Just not sure what to do next…thanks again

The EFB is nothing more than the tablet (Electronic Flight Bag)

By “stuck there” do you mean outside the plane? If so, shift-c will put you back in the cockpit.

No I am in the cockpit.. I believe when you start your private pilot lessons it’s the 5th or 6th lesson. When you start the lesson you’re looking at the plane and you have to walk around it. Then you have to remove covers and actuate the ailerons rudder etc etc. Then it tells you to open the door and says your given a EFB please take some time to check it out. So I zoomed in on it with my mouse wheel and pressed some buttons and tried to go through it. I cannot continue with my lessons because I don’t know what im doing wrong, why it won’t let me proceed. Again I’m very sorry I don’t know much about computers I bought this computer from a buddy to only play MSFS and Rise of flight. That’s the best I can describe my dilemma. I appreciate everyones time and help it means alot

Hi,

I think you mean the Preflight training.

Once inside the airplane you’re asked to bring up the EFB (the key or button to do that should be displayed on screen)

Once you’re done, just close the EFB again with the button/key and the training should continue.
