Satanshu Mishra Posted April 27, 2020 at 10:22 AM Posted April 27, 2020 at 10:22 AM (edited) Hello Everyone, I just installed vPilot on my New computer. After Doing the necessary setup and booting up FSX, I try to login to VATSIM. While vPilot initially connects, With in 30 seconds it disconnects giving "Network error: Client authentication response timeout" as the reason. Can someone suggest a solution to this issue cause I was really looking forwards to doing a pleasant flight today.

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 29, 2020 at 01:17 PM Posted April 29, 2020 at 01:17 PM One shot into the dark: do you have a VPN? Could you try to connect through VPN, pretending that you are "somewhere else", e.g. a European country?

I tried one of the Free VPNs available but that resulted in no success either. Any other advise?

Andrew Ogden Posted April 29, 2020 at 09:17 PM Posted April 29, 2020 at 09:17 PM (edited) Free VPNs are usually horrifically unreliable. Have you considered looking at a more permanent VPN solution?

Have you considered looking at a more permanent VPN solution? Actually I have tried a pretty reliable Pay-ware VPN as well however the problem seems to be a bit more confusing. As of now I am able to login to VATSIM using vPilot however if I am to enter the European or UK regions I will be faced with this timeout error. Clearly this isn't a problem with the internet location as I am am to connect to and interact with ATC on all other regions (USA, Asia, etc.). With all my addons and Home Base being in the aforementioned regions, I feel a bit annoyed but this is progress and we are closing in on the problem. I am open to any suggestions on what might be causing this error and how to solve it.

Mohamed Zaheer Zafarullah Posted April 30, 2020 at 02:34 AM Posted April 30, 2020 at 02:34 AM Same Issue here !! And Yes I am residing in Middle East region as well!! I've been facing the same issue for more than a month now. Tried majority of all the solution listed in different forums that google could possibly find, but still the issue remained same. The only thing that worked for me until 2 days ago was to connect Vpilot to Vatsim-Sydney server, now since it is decommissioned, I'm back to Nothing. Any Help or Advise would be highly appreciated !! To add up, below are the few steps tried so far: Uninstalled Bitdefender Internet Security installed on my machine and disabled Windows defender. Restarted and even did complete reset of the Router multiple times. Installed a copy of FSX Steam that I owned previously on my second machine and tested only to get the same result. Tried port forwarding on the Router as suggested in a different forum (though it was an older post) To isolate any Vpilot issue tested with Swift Client too but still receiving the error. One important thing that I've noticed lately after reading a post from a forum is that it's occuring only while flying from Airports in Europe !!

Daniel Richardson Posted April 30, 2020 at 07:25 AM Posted April 30, 2020 at 07:25 AM (edited) Hi all, jumping over from another forum again, i'm also living in the UAE and have been having this issue for a while (about a month) i was also using the Sydney server with marginal success, whilst it would not disconnect entirely from the network, the voice server would be constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. Hopefully there'll be some kind of fix for this but i have a feeling it's the ISP's (mine is Etisalat) fiddling with the bandwidth... Shame, there used to be 2 UAE servers for VATSIM as well!

Me too under the same ISP, and until lately I was also under the impression it could have something to do with ISP. But what is observed here is that the mentioned issue only appears whenever I am flying within Europe. Any other airport across the globe it's connecting flawlessly no matter which server is selected. May be if you could as well, verify and confirm the same?

I'll take a look now and try to connect, i tried earlier in the day to connect at WSSS and still got the exact same fault, i also tried the multiple server options given by vpilot. I'm boosted a little by Andreas's post, hopefully now it's got some attention we can get a fix... inshallah! *Update as of 1512LT / 1112UTC, i am connected on the Singapore server in KCVG and it seems to be connected ok... Will try the UK and see if it keeps the connection **Still experiencing issues in the UK Edited April 30, 2020 at 11:20 AM by Daniel Richardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The internet in this region is so heavily filtered and controlled before it gets to the end user that i can see there being an error somewhere along the line that's disallowing connections onto vatsim (think along the lines of VOIP blocking which is ridiculous in itself and a whole different story)... But it's still very, very strange that we are able to fly in the USA but nowhere else on the planet. One would think that sim location would have nothing to do with it since our computers are all sitting in one place!

umair saleem Posted May 2, 2020 at 02:39 PM Posted May 2, 2020 at 02:39 PM I managed to stay connected (on USA-East) for a flight from EPWA to EDDK. On landing i disconnected to check if i can reconnect and now its the same error on all the servers. Yet again for some reason the some locations in sim for e.g. any airport in USA connection is no problem anywhere else such as Europe it keeps giving response time out errors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satanshu Mishra Posted May 3, 2020 at 02:56 PM Author Posted May 3, 2020 at 02:56 PM (edited) An update regarding my position. the issue seems to be getting better as I was able to stay connected on Canada and UK1 server at EGLL for a good 5 mins. I am currently connected with a stable connection at EGLL listening to Ground speak on the USA-West server however I for whatever reason do not have any controllers in range even though I can hear them speak. I am hoping this trend will continue and that the issue will self rectify itself...in the near future.

But hopefully it will start to improve soon, especially if it's working for you **Quick update @1747z, now i'm back to having issues connecting at all, and even the USA is now no longer working for me, constant disconnections after roughly 20 seconds 🙄 i've attached a screenshot of my vpilot, the multipile connections are me trying different servers Edited May 3, 2020 at 05:56 PM by Daniel Richardson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually just happened to me right now with that version from April. This keeps on and on. I think they manage well to get this failing all the time. To be honest, three weeks ago this was working fine. Then I decided to reset my Computer eight times because of a Windows issue and four days later when i start up VATSIM it gives me this error. So i dont know if this is a vPilot issue or a Vatsim server issue but it looks more like the later. Can someone give 2.5.1 a try and let us know? I dont know if its possible to use this version of vPilot but it may be worth a shot to either isolate vPilot as the problem or further solidify the problem being purely with Vatsim servers. Although logically, if this were a VATSIM issue, then how are people from other parts of the world having no issue of the sort? Its all very strange...🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
