Chris Horsfield 953288 Posted August 12, 2019 at 10:20 AM Posted August 12, 2019 at 10:20 AM Hi guys, For some reason, quite randomly, whilst trying to log in to VATSIM via Squawkbox4 as usual, I am constantly getting connection refused, and there is no servers list... I have changed nothing from a few days ago when I last flew online... Any info/help as to why this may be happening is much appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Ziegler 822229 Posted August 12, 2019 at 03:54 PM Posted August 12, 2019 at 03:54 PM I am having the same problem. Have been flying with SB on Vatsim the last few days, today I get the connection refused message in red. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen whyles 1073580 Posted August 13, 2019 at 12:41 PM Posted August 13, 2019 at 12:41 PM I have the same issue all of a sudden but dont know how to enter the new ip address you mentioned any help greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEORGE STERGIOULAS Posted August 13, 2019 at 01:35 PM Posted August 13, 2019 at 01:35 PM vPilot only has a list of servers which I guess is pulling from one of them? I found out I cannot connect to any of the European servers but it did connect to the US servers... That was last night, I will try again tonight.

Uwe von der Ahe 811367 Posted August 13, 2019 at 04:58 PM Posted August 13, 2019 at 04:58 PM When connecting with SB type in the numbers in the field "server". It's the upper list field with some predefined servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris, Firstly please watch your language. I have removed the offending part. Please remember we have people from all ages and walks of life here. Secondly, the error message should have been a great hint. The server you were trying has been retired. Why not choose another one? !SERVERS: CANADA:165.22.239.218:Toronto, Canada:CANADA:1: GERMANY:167.71.49.142:Frankfurt, Germany:GERMANY:1: AUSTRALIA:180.200.247.40:Australia:OCEANIA:1: SINGAPORE:68.183.185.148:Singapore:SINGAPORE:1: UK:167.71.136.59:London, UK:UK:1: USA-EAST:134.209.67.219:New York, USA:USA-EAST:1: USA-WEST:165.22.163.56:San Francisco, USA:USA-WEST:1: Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEORGE STERGIOULAS Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:43 PM Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:43 PM Does anyone know if vPilot updates the server list automatically? Would I see the new UK server as an option now for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Blackburn Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:50 PM Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:50 PM It should do George. If it doesn't you would be advised that a cached list is being used. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEORGE STERGIOULAS Posted August 16, 2019 at 01:11 PM Posted August 16, 2019 at 01:11 PM Thanks for the reply, I would like to do a flight when I'm back from work tonight (still picking my jaw off the floor after looking at the latest previews MS published from MSFS 2020... If the list is cached, is there a command to force it to refresh by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted August 16, 2019 at 02:45 PM Posted August 16, 2019 at 02:45 PM vPilot automatically fetches the current server list when it first starts up. It will only use the previously-cached list if something causes the server list download to fail. Therefore, there is no need for a command to manually refresh the list.

Andreas Fuchs Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:17 PM Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:17 PM Works for me. The part where SB4 is fetching information from VATSIM at startup took a bit longer than usual, but I then just copy-pasted the IP of a random server (Singapore, in my case) before connecting to VATSIM.

Miguel Frias Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:52 PM Posted August 27, 2019 at 10:52 PM Yes it was similar to that. I had to paste one of the current servers. Apparently neither squawkbox not fsinn are picking up the updated server list. But in the end it worked that's what important Miguel Frias Senior Instructor (I3) & Certified Pilot (P4), ZLA I-11 graduate Portugal vACC Training Director (ACCPT2), VATEUD Operations Director (VATEUD8) Portugal vACC, VATEUD, VATSIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seem to be some teething problems, but the more testers we have, the better.
