Zsolt Kadar Posted May 8, 2020 at 11:51 AM Posted May 8, 2020 at 11:51 AM Hi. Is there a possibility to run xPilot on two different copies of X-Plane (beta and .41) same PC, different hard drives. I tried to install xPilot separatly and even changed the Plugin Port Number in xPilot and in the Plugins menu in the sim with no success (keep getting a red error message when trying to connect saying to make sure that I have X-Plane running and a flight plan loaded - which I had) although everything is working properly on the stable version of X-Plane. I'm running the latest alpha version (1.3.7). Thanks very much in advance, any help or idea is greatly appreciated! Zsolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Shannon Posted May 8, 2020 at 01:44 PM Posted May 8, 2020 at 01:44 PM You shouldn't have to change the port number. When you ran the xPilot installer, did you change the "X-Plane Root Folder" option to point to the correct copy of X-Plane? 1 Controller (C3), Los Angeles ARTCC Developer: xPilot, vATIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's what I thought too that it should be working like you explained it but unfortunately it doesn't... this is why I made to copies of it and always start the one on the same disk just to not confuse things.

OK, let's start by uploading your X-Plane log.txt (if it's too large to upload here as an attachment, you can paste it here https://bin.clowd.io/ and share the link). Also, make sure you don't have any orphaned X-Plane.exe or xPilot.exe processes running in the background. 1 Controller (C3), Los Angeles ARTCC Developer: xPilot, vATIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Shannon Posted May 8, 2020 at 02:41 PM Posted May 8, 2020 at 02:41 PM Your log file looks normal. Something's gone wonky with the X-Plane networking. Make sure the UDP ports within X-Plane (Settings > Network) haven't changed (should be 49010, 49000 and 49001 respectively). Also make sure the radio option at the bottom of the Network Tab is set to "Accept incoming connections". You can also try clicking the "Reset Networking Configuration" button. If none of this works, then maybe try restarting your computer to see if that clears up the issue... 1 Controller (C3), Los Angeles ARTCC Developer: xPilot, vATIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsolt Kadar Posted May 8, 2020 at 02:49 PM Author Posted May 8, 2020 at 02:49 PM (edited) Justin, you're a star! Thank you very much for all your help and for getting back to me so quickly. The Network Tab was set to 'Disable incoming traffic' for some reason (honestly never touched that) , and setting it back to 'Accept incoming connections' solved the issue. Do you think then that I could have only one copy of it in the AppData folder and it still should be running or shall I leave it as it is now?

As long as you're using the same version of xPilot for both copies of X-Plane, yes. 1 Controller (C3), Los Angeles ARTCC Developer: xPilot, vATIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
