I got some issues with my Vpilot....

 

after 10 minutes when im on a frequency, I cant hear any ATC and I need to refresh the frequency to hear again.

 

I have already tried to reinstall and update Vpilot, but it still doesnt work.

 

I would be very happy if someone could help me!

Are you possibly using a USB headset for vPilot? Sometimes with newer Windows they turn off power to USB ports, flipping frequency will just wake it up. Google "USB power windows" there's a setting to keep them always on. It's an ongoing issue with not just headsets/mic but also peddles, yokes, etc.

This is almost certainly a UDP port timeout issue.

 

The best solution is to go in to your router settings and forward UDP ports 3782 and 3290 to your vPilot machine.

Carl,

 

The UDP timeout is absolutely the issue. This router your are port forwarding on - is it the only router between you and your telco? i.e. this in in your house rather than in a university etc.

Confirm you forwarded UDP ports? Simon and Norman are right --- these symptoms are the cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ic symptoms of a port timeout issue.

Did you map 3782->3290 or is that what your entry looks like?

 

It should be one for 3782 and another for 3290.

That's wrong. That is mapping one port to another.

You need UDP port forwarding, not mapping.

Different routers use different terms, but they both mean the same thing. He's in the right place.

 

Carl, you only need port 3290, and you only need UDP. Both the WAN and LAN ports should be 3290. (3782 does not require forwarding/mapping.)

so I changed to only UDP and changed WAN and LAN ports to 3290 and logged on at EHAM (vasterdam), tuned the frequency and after 1 hour I could still hear the atc. thank you for the help everyone!
