Mark Swan Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:12 PM Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:12 PM I've tried disabling my anti-virus and Windows Firewall is set to allow vSTARS. I've also tried running vSTARS as an administrator. Is there anything else it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:17 PM Author Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:17 PM Not that I know of ... if it were my machine, I'd run a packet sniffer and see if I can figure out why the download is failing. If you wait until after the server list download error appears BEFORE opening the settings, does it work? It should show you the last-saved server list, one of which is included in the default empty config file.

Mark Swan Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:20 PM Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:20 PM The error appears a few seconds after I start vSTARS, before I select to open a facility file, and I try to open settings after I open the facility file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:28 PM Author Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:28 PM Sounds like maybe somehow your cached server list got wiped out. Can you send me your vstarsconfig.xml file? Send me a link via PM. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:42 PM Author Posted June 19, 2017 at 02:42 PM Yup, somehow your cached server list got wiped out. I've looked through the code and I don't see how that could happen. In your config file, replace with this: <CachedServers> <string>4k1TtUZ1nMPNLZ+wSpkWmh+XJ59IS8vu</string> <string>cLr0UMkbKn0RaJtf4vbnSEezPrpv2jM3</string> <string>u65ZS/Db6ogfeAJf3VFD5AqplOiZL8Yc</string> <string>nFMkI7Z/mS2LrNEoqFqyburALllzrYN2</string> <string>Ij0W+XaSQ5H9VRX3u5NM40Fd3OA6KgdW</string> <string>UGVYQmHNW7tRUr5TOuo0LvpEILpnjd1TQV3c4DoqB1Y=</string> <string>VyZd/HPj+UoBGBdwLLFTaPW6xQAyf3uK</string> <string>yypsknI4KOTZnVFwvcELJIAhROfFU/nI</string> <string>Q99hP/C9u0VR2pRbNTcDxqvo6ZXMuizo</string> <string>gdXXJARo4KuT0P/Mwm9OebI6vX3jZLpj</string> <string>DUW+7vfFVZYEYjvWSgGuBQTorBTrarAr</string> <string>IaAPNojEBRqyxhdwujS9JkFd3OA6KgdW</string> <string>0iial2q8AXrEt6yVYzjP5Ef/C+UlFC1a</string> <string>fvwcVNu5aTmeNNIVPIPtTVQ0gSUhHKzy</string> <string>mQkHhEUclR+hhgpbr9/RU5ImYQ1n8cvN</string> <string>hCNziza/NPW576xAv5UKIZ6CLNprOcya3hmgV5zn3KE=</string> </CachedServers> I would like to understand how the cached servers list got wiped out, so if this problem recurs, please let me know ... we might be able to get it fixed if we are able to reproduce it.

Taylor Broad Posted June 25, 2017 at 03:59 AM Posted June 25, 2017 at 03:59 AM Just a quick feature request. I am finding myself using vSTARS in the TWR/GND/DEL positions on the network. The one thing is that I need to manually CTRL + F to set the vis range for those positions. Then when I get a updated file from my FE, those settings wipe. Is it possible this can be stored in the Settings dialog? Taylor BroadSenior Developer - Virtual Airlines VATSIM Virtual Airlines Dept.

Is it possible this can be stored in the Settings dialog? These settings will wipe because they are part of the facility file. You'll just have to change it every time you update your file (which hopefully isn't terribly frequently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brin Brody Posted January 21, 2018 at 08:09 PM Posted January 21, 2018 at 08:09 PM Hi there... Been using STARs to work a Tower position, and though it's not built for it, it works pretty well. The only issue I'm seeing is the flight strips. It might be an issue I've created on my own, due to lack of knowledge, but I've been unable to use strips that aren't pushed from another controller. When pushed from another controller, either below, or above, they put themselves nicely in the bay. However, when working top down, flight strips need to be automatically generated. This is supposedly possible using the separators, and defining parameters for each... I've configured them properly, I believe but have not been receiving auto-generated strips. For example, the Departures separator has the departure field properly set up but never brings in new departures. Similarly, arrivals do not appear under the Arrivals separator, which is also properly configured. User error, or is this broken somehow?

Oh it's built for it alright. Looks like it! Appeared to be very TRACON based (as expected) after a first look. Didn’t expect nearly as much TWR support. Thanks.

Ross Carlson Posted October 22, 2018 at 05:10 AM Author Posted October 22, 2018 at 05:10 AM vSTARS version 1.1.7 has been in open beta for over a year now, so I think it's time to call it stable. 1.1.7 is now the official stable version available via the Download page on the vSTARS web site. Thank you to everyone that helped test the open beta version!

Enrico Noia Posted October 22, 2018 at 05:50 AM Posted October 22, 2018 at 05:50 AM Will the "unhandled exception" issue when switching comms be investigated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted October 22, 2018 at 03:39 PM Author Posted October 22, 2018 at 03:39 PM Enrico, if you're referring to the error that occurs if you reconnect to a voice channel (like if you disconnect then reconnect) then that is on the bug list and will be investigated the next time I work on the code. If you're referring to something else, please post a new thread with all the details. Thanks.
