Justin Shannon Posted November 28, 2019 at 07:12 PM Posted November 28, 2019 at 07:12 PM Version 1.1.6.0 of xPilot is now available for download from the web site, or via the automatic update utility built into the pilot client. The following items were added or fixed in this version: Fix issue that could prevent the transponder ident button from sending the ident status to the network Add network connection status dataref (xpilot/login/status) integer, 0 = disconnected, 1 = connected Add audio receive status dataref (xpilot/audio/rx) integer, 0 = no audio being received, 1 = audio being received Play alert sound if forcibly disconnected from the network Play alert sound if unintentionally disconnected from the voice server Fix issue that could cause an unhandled exception if the ptt key/button is pressed prematurely through the binded X-Plane command before the voice server connection is started Re-design Settings window Reinstate aural notification for incoming radio messages. A new option has been added to the settings window to disable this. Note: You will still receive an aural notification for direct radio messages regardless of your settings Changing the audio input and output device now takes effect immediately. The "Disable realistic radio effects" now takes effect immediately Add change log to the new update dialog If X-Plane is still running when an update is downloaded, a notification message will appear prompting the end user to close X-Plane before installing the update Don't connect to voice server in towerview mode Set xpilot/ptt dataref value if the PTT set within the UI client is toggled It is important that you close X-Plane before installing the update, otherwise the X-Plane plugin cannot be properly updated.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted November 30, 2019 at 04:05 PM Posted November 30, 2019 at 04:05 PM You probably need to recheck your Windows Microphone Privacy Settings to ensure the app is still in there as permitted. I'm starting to get the feeling that this tends to come up frequently after a new update is released, so possibly the update somehow knocks it off of the whitelisted app list for mic access...? That hasn't happened to me but I know I have my security settings dialed down pretty far on my flight sim computer. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, The only time I've seen this error happen is if Windows is blocking microphone access to xPilot. Have you installed any Windows updates or audio driver updates recently? Do you have any antivirus software running that could be blocking microphone access?

There has been no Windows updates the last couple of days and the anti-virus software AVAST has not been changed either. Today when I fired up xPilot I got the automatic update and got the message I posted on the screen.

Hi Justin, Found the solution! It was not in the privacy settings. I clicked on the 'problems and solutions' button for the microphone in the Windows sound settings and it found something. After that I started xPilot and I got no more errors. It's strange because I know that I haven't changed anything in the Windows sound settings this whole week! Murphy must have been lurking around when the update was being installed.

I looked into it a couple of years ago for another project, but it was pretty lacking back then. I'll have another look at it...
