Server list failed

[Bahaeddine El-Zarif]

Hello Ross,

 

I was going to make a flight today on VATSIM, however vPilot fails to download the servers. The full message is pasted below.

 

Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) SP1 and FSX SP2

 

Ran it as admin and normally, both without a luck to get an updated server list, which eventually provides the unhandled exception if you try to open the settings.

 

[20:16:24] Server list download failed. Using previously-cached server list. Error: System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 5.9.159.186:80

Can you successfully get to http://status.vatsim.net via a web browser?

It does work yes.

You describe it as an unhandled exception, but it looks like it is being handled. Can you confirm whether or not this is an unhandled exception? Does it crash vPilot?

Unhandled exception happens when you try to click on the settings after that message has appeared. But it seems to be gone now.

 

If you click on Quit it does of course.

[Ross Carlson]

Can you send me your GlobalExceptions.txt file? That will have the details of the unhandled exception, and I should be able to handle it in code.

 

And let me know which version of vPilot you're using.

I am using the latest version of vPilot 2.0.2.3 and I can't seem to find the file. Do you have any idea where it could be located?

[Ross Carlson]

It will be in the same folder as the vPilot.exe file. By default, that is here:

 

%localappdata%\vPilot

[Bahaeddine El-Zarif]

There is no file with the name of GlobalExceptions.txt in that folder.

 

However, it works now without any problems.

Ross, in case you're still interested in fixing this anyway, I was able to reproduce the unhandled exception when you attempt to open settings when vPilot has no cached servers (and was unable to retrieve them upon program start):

I'm using version 2.0.2.3 as well.

[Ross Carlson]

Okay, thanks ... should be an easy fix.

[Ross Carlson]

This is fixed in 2.0.3 which is now available via automatic update.
