Ross Carlson Posted February 9, 2018 at 03:58 PM Posted February 9, 2018 at 03:58 PM I decided against that since it would require that vPilot have a way to automatically keep its ICAO code list up to date. It's doable, just not a priority right now. What I would probably do is just prompt the user to confirm that they want to use the code they entered, if it is not found in the list of known codes. That would allow the user to still use a new (or fictitious) code that isn't in the database yet for whatever reason.

Clarke Kruger Posted February 10, 2018 at 02:26 AM Posted February 10, 2018 at 02:26 AM Problem with that is people will still put in B77F, MD1F, B747, PA28 because they still believe those are the proper ICAO codes Clarke Kruger Edmonton (CYEG) AB, Canada VATSIM Network Supervisor | Team 1 Have a question?

Ross Carlson Posted February 10, 2018 at 02:27 AM Posted February 10, 2018 at 02:27 AM Of course ... there's no silver bullet ... but it would cut down on the bad codes a lot of they had to acknowledge a popup when they enter an unknown code. And it could suggest a better code as well. E.g. if they enter B747, vPilot could suggest B744, and they could switch to B744 by pressing a button.

Thanks Don, I'll add it to the wish list. Do you think it should clear out the route (and perhaps alternate) fields? And maybe add or subtract 1,000 from the cruise altitude?

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted February 10, 2018 at 05:19 AM Author Board of Governors Posted February 10, 2018 at 05:19 AM Thanks. Good points that I hadn't even thought of. I'd recommend clearing route, alternate and altitude. Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Kelly 1422405 Posted April 11, 2018 at 09:32 PM Posted April 11, 2018 at 09:32 PM Don't want to necro a thread but having serious trouble with vPilot and port-forwarding, since I'm on an IPV6 router that doesn't allow forwarding, but still getting the typical "audio cuts out" problems [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ociated with it. It could also be that the port is going inactive, and the router shuts the connection, but as mentioned before, sending empty packets to maintain the connection might be a solution? Either way, in it's current state it doesn't seem that vPilot isn't really compatible with IPV6 users, which is a real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm missing something (which is possible, I don't have a lot of experience with IPV6 networking,) this isn't a question of vPilot's support for IPV6 ... it's a question of VATSIM's voice library and servers supporting IPV6. I'm not sure if the voice code library supports IPV6, but I can say that one of the most popular voice servers, rw.liveatc.net, has no IPV6 address. Are you saying your router doesn't allow you to set up IPV4 port forwarding?

Marcel Ritzema Posted April 16, 2018 at 03:40 PM Posted April 16, 2018 at 03:40 PM Hiya, Deadhard user of FsInn is converting to vPilot. Have 2 request to make, i do apologize f they already came up earlier: - Would be nice to have to PPT-key mapped to both a joystick key/button and a keyboard key. - Can it made possible to file "VFR" as your cruise altitude, as done in real-life: Realife example: (FPL-GNWFS-VG -C172/L-S/S -EGSX0830 -N0090VFR DCT DVR DCT KONAN DCT COA DCT 5258N00837E DCT 5301N00848E DCT -EDDW0415 EDDV -EET/EBBU0101 EHAA0134 EDWW0306 RMK/PILOT ROBERT Mxxxxxxxxxx +44770xxxxx, CREATED BY SKYDEMON, SUPP INFO RQS KBLIHAEX) Thanks for considering.
