Loss of ATC after a couple Minutes

[David Leh]

I have just started using XSquawkbox on VATSIM. It works fine for a few minutes while I am on a frequency talking to ATC then it just drops out, I can no longer then hear ATC until I switch to another frequency, then switch back. Best I can tell, ATC is always able to hear my outgoing voice, I just loose their transmissions after a couple minutes until I do the frequency switch.

 

 

I am using XPlane X 64 bit; Windows 7, XSquawkbox 1.3.1

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

Thanks, but not sure this is my issue because I have no problems with FSX w/ FSInn (i.e.- that works fine) it is only XPlane w/ XSquawkBox that has this problem.

 

I would think if it was a port or firewall issue, neither would work.

 

Would you agree?

 

Thanks,

Any thoughts on this? I would love to fly on VATSIM with XPlane, but just cant for this reason.

 

Thanks,

Not necessarily - Poor NAT impelmentations or tuning would definitely cause it - it does sound a bit to me like you're getting a NAT timeout and that's closing off the voice channels prematurely. See if there's a NAT session timeout on your router, and if there is, you could try increasing it - personally, I'd just get a better router.

 

This one is really hard for me to verify anyway - I'm not having these problems with XSB so it does appear to be outside of XSB itself.
