I presume the SSDP and DNS traffic is on a different port to AFV? My wild guess would be to try updating your NIC driver or use a different NIC.
-
Are you able to send all your traffic through a VPN? If this worked, that would likely confirm that your ISP/ISP supplied router has an issue. There's the definite possibility of using ipv6 in a future vPilot update if this has a demonstrably good chance of fixing it.

The traffic to focus on would be the UDP traffic. You'll see UDP heartbeating every 3 seconds, with the client sending a heartbeat request, and the server replying with a heartbeat response. If 3 responses are not received (for whatever reason), the client will disconnect. I suggest that if you're able to capture your traffic over a vpilot disconnect event, you have a look at what is happening with the heartbeating.

Suggestion: Allow Duplicate Callsigns
Mark Barnes replied to Sterling Paulsen's topic in General Discussion
I don't have an opinion on the suggestion, only here to say it's not technically possible and wouldn't be worth the effort to make it technically possible. -
AFV error: POST api/v1/users/cid/callsigns/rego
Mark Barnes replied to John Golin's topic in Windows
If this occurs again - please restart your PC and report back if this fixed it. It'll be a valuable clue - perhaps an orphaned background thread is still running. -
[RESOLVED} cannot login username/password not recogniz

Please try again after 1300z today. (Ensuring you use the correct casing in your p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word) -
Hi John, Which screen reading program do you use? If there is a free version, we can get the developer to try using it when they look at improving the accessibility. Regards, Mark

Feature request: Traffic information exposed to Plugins
Mark Barnes replied to Mark Barnes's topic in vPilot
Ira; as mentioned by Kirk - Aerowinx PSX is a 747-400 virtual cockpit. It's so versatile, you can run it purely on screens like: or use it to drive a full cockpit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz1mKIpQU34 We're using it to drive a full sim with 3 projectors, 8 (maybe more, I've lost count) PCs & mostly genuine parts. What I'm asking Ross for is the VATSIM traffic data (the position/speed/type of all the aircraft nearby) so I can inject this data into PSX where it will use it in the TCAS system to show the other aircraft on the flight display(s). -

Any ideas when the next beta with these events will be available? (Approximately... I'm a volunteer developer myself so know the score) -
Feature request: Traffic information exposed to Plugins
Mark Barnes replied to Mark Barnes's topic in vPilot
Let's start with this and then when I've got something released & I've used the plugin interface in a bit more detail... we can evaluate everything else I've discussed at that point. Please let me know when the beta is out - it'll take me just a couple of hours to pull in a load of existing code into a new DLL project and test it all. Should be easy. Edit: Could I get the ability to at least turn off the simconnect calls doing the traffic injection? A method to enable/disable perhaps? Then I'll be able to start experimenting. -

That's what I'm doing currently - I've got some software that syncs the non-user vehicles amongst 3 instances of P3D (one is the 'master' and the other 2 are 'slaves' which isn't completely ideal - I'd like a single 'reference' source and 3 slave instances for absolute sync) and does the TCAS injection in one binary. I'm looking to separate these features so that I can release a vPilot plugin to the PSX community that just does TCAS injection, and keep the current multi-P3D-instance syncing private (as it would be a support nightmare) until I can make it easier to configure for users. As -
Feature request: Traffic information exposed to Plugins
Mark Barnes replied to Mark Barnes's topic in vPilot
That would be perfect - I was thinking of the same combination of 3 events. I can just maintain a List<> or ConcurrentDictionary<,> from those events then apply my filtering criteria to determine which ones to inject into PSX TCAS. (I am wondering if I might gain any benefit from the smoothed data vPilot is doing internally... but I'm happy to try the 5 second rate first) Partially related question: Does vPilot have a way of syncing traffic objects on 3 P3D instances? At the moment I'm pulling out the vehicle data from 1 P3D instance (the one that vPilot injects into) an -
I'm looking to inject TCAS data into PSX, please could you consider exposing aircraft Lat/Lon/Alt/Hdg of all aircraft that you're injecting into simconnect?
