Connection Error in busy environment

Hello,

 

as I am typing I have been trying to connect vPilot for more than an hour in Frankfurt. I keep getting constant authentication response timeout. I then placed my flight on an airport without ATC or airplanes and suddenly the connection works. When I try to place it back in Frankfurt of course vPilot disconnects first, then tries to reconnect when the new location is set causing the same error over and over. Flight is thus cancelled. I can't reference to this anywhere. Am I the only one ever to experience this? Frankfurt is really busy with multiple controller and aircraft. I tried on January 18th. From 1900-2000 UTC in EDDF

This is not a vPilot error. A server authentication error is generally something to do with the server. Did you try a different server? If not, and the error persists, suggest trying a different server.

Hello Don,

 

as mentioned above, I tried ALL the servers in vPilot when I was parked in EDDF. On TNCB where there was no other ATC/Pilot it logged on on first try. There were 17 aircraft and at least 20 ATC units nearby. Could that have played a role in the authentication timing out?

Sorry, I did not infer from the above that you "as mentioned above... tried ALL the servers". Don't know. I've been doing this for over 11 years and don't recall folks having that type of issue. Good luck.

I've just released version 2.1.19 which should fix the auth timeout. You can get the new version through the automatic update if you have it enabled, or by downloading from the site:
