I am trying to figure out if there's a way to run a simulator server locally in the new version of ES. This was very usefull in the old one when designing scenarios and files to test them, but now I can't figure out how to do so without connecting to sweatbox. I tried to uncheck the "connect to vatsim" button but this produces an error message.

 

Any hints?

That gives me an error

"VATSIM server found while non-VATSIM server was requested"

Do you have "Start sweatbox simulator session" as the connection mode?

I have had this problem just last night. It seems that somehow the ES server redirects localhost to the VATSIM server, or something similar that I can't explain. Use the similar function using IP "127.0.0.1". It servers the same purpose as "localhost".

Unfortunately that gives me the same error again

Can you try restarting Windows, starting only the FSD server and then EuroScope without first connecting to VATSIM?

I feel stupid now, so I've probably missed something obvious, but I thought the FSD server was built in to Euroscope? In other words I'm not sure what you need me to do.

Now that explains it. That mode has been moved to an external FSD server which has been installed with EuroScope:

LE: Basically you were connecting to your own proxy which was connected to VATSIM. At least that's what I think was happening. Now just start the external FSD server and proceed as before.
