Jurgen Mitchell 1293162 Posted May 18, 2018 at 10:14 AM Author Posted May 18, 2018 at 10:14 AM Hi, I'm using Vpilot (latest version) and I fly VFR only, so I send the following message which I have done on many other occasions without problems; " EGKA trfc rdy to taxi to rwy 02" that when the error message appears in red.

Ross Carlson Posted May 19, 2018 at 09:05 PM Posted May 19, 2018 at 09:05 PM There's no way to attach files in these forums ... you have to upload it to a file sharing service like imgur, etc. You can use dropbox if you want, and just provide me with the link.

I think maybe you have to put it in your public folder.

Ross Carlson Posted May 21, 2018 at 04:25 PM Posted May 21, 2018 at 04:25 PM Very strange ... no idea why a simple text message would cause a syntax error to be generated by the server. Do you know how to start vPilot with a command line parameter? If so, start it with the "-netlog" parameter. This will cause it to log all incoming and outgoing network packets to a file. If you then send me that file, I might be able to see what's going on.

Ross Carlson Posted May 22, 2018 at 03:09 PM Posted May 22, 2018 at 03:09 PM Do a little googling on how to create a shortcut and add command line arguments, you should find lots of examples.

Jurgen Mitchell 1293162 Posted May 30, 2018 at 01:22 PM Author Posted May 30, 2018 at 01:22 PM Hi Ross, finally sorted my issue by uninstalling vpilot then installing and setting it up to run on FSX-SE, now works fine. Jürgen M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
