Bahaeddine El-Zarif Posted July 19, 2016 at 01:56 AM Posted July 19, 2016 at 01:56 AM Hello Ross, I have downloaded the latest version of vPilot which is 2.0.8 and when I connect to VATSIM, I find that it disconnects me from the network on a random basis. Sometimes once and sometimes like 2 - 4 times. Windows 7 Home Premium x64 Flight Simulator X Deluxe SP2 (run as admin) vPilot 2.0.8 (running as admin) Thanks for your help, Bahaeddine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahaeddine El-Zarif Posted July 19, 2016 at 03:37 AM Author Posted July 19, 2016 at 03:37 AM Actually it happened this morning but I cannot really remember the actual phrase. It was something with the server authentication challenge. Bahaeddine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahaeddine El-Zarif Posted July 20, 2016 at 02:45 AM Author Posted July 20, 2016 at 02:45 AM Yes I have and I tried running it without admin access. No luck Have you tried all servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted July 20, 2016 at 02:57 AM Posted July 20, 2016 at 02:57 AM That error suggests that data is being lost or severely delayed in the connection between your computer and the VATSIM server. Have you tried using the ping tool in VAT-Spy to see what your latency is to the various servers?

Bahaeddine El-Zarif Posted July 20, 2016 at 03:02 AM Author Posted July 20, 2016 at 03:02 AM Ross, I usually connect to the USA West server until VATSIM implemented CANADA server.

Ross Carlson Posted July 20, 2016 at 03:12 AM Posted July 20, 2016 at 03:12 AM I'm afraid I have no idea what's causing the network dropouts. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Schober 1328585 Posted July 23, 2016 at 04:10 PM Posted July 23, 2016 at 04:10 PM Ross, the error mentioned by Bahaeddine happened several times this week to me, too, after updating to 2.0.8. Network error: The server has failed to respond to the authentication challenge. I do not necessarily [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume that this is caused by vPilot, because I had connection errors before the update, though never this frequently. Maybe it was only coincidence, but maybe you can use this input during the beta testing phase. The error occurred several times during two flights on different days. When it happened, it seemed to be directly after an outgoing voice or text message to a controller, but not after every message and, up to now, never when sending text messages on Unicom.
