Please make sure X-Plane is running and a flight plan is loaded" Prior to that I received a message "Waiting for X-Plane connection" Help is needed please.

Arthur Jones Posted May 10, 2020 at 08:46 PM Author Posted May 10, 2020 at 08:46 PM Things that I have checked: x Pilot is in the root file of X Plane. I do not have a Flight Plan entered in x Pilot. I have tried starting both first. I have another copy of X Plane on this computer but no x Pilot in that one. Shoobee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Edvin Aaro Posted May 10, 2020 at 09:29 PM Posted May 10, 2020 at 09:29 PM Hi Arthur, I moved this to the xPilot section as that is more appropriate. 🙂 When you say you started both first, did you spawn in at a gate in X-plane? You should also try searching this forum for that error, as there might be others with the same problem here. Hope all works out for you!

Arthur Jones Posted May 10, 2020 at 10:26 PM Author Posted May 10, 2020 at 10:26 PM I read that doc and it didn't seem to help. I started at a gate. I started one software and then the other. Shoobee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted May 10, 2020 at 10:47 PM Posted May 10, 2020 at 10:47 PM I would assume that xpilot is trying to find its associated plugin in the other copy of X-Plane. 1 Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Shannon Posted May 10, 2020 at 10:49 PM Posted May 10, 2020 at 10:49 PM This his happening because xPilot is unable to read the datarefs from X-Plane.

Arthur Jones Posted May 11, 2020 at 01:36 PM Author Posted May 11, 2020 at 01:36 PM You suggested in one of your post to insure that the radio button on the Network Tab be set to receive incoming traffic. There is no radio button at the bottom at the page. Shoobee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Jones Posted May 11, 2020 at 02:37 PM Author Posted May 11, 2020 at 02:37 PM Bottom of X Plane/Network has Reset Networking Configuration on left side and Done on right side? Shoobee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Shannon Posted May 11, 2020 at 02:51 PM Posted May 11, 2020 at 02:51 PM Hmmm... there should be a radio option like this... what version of X-Plane are you running? Another thing to check is to make sure X-Plane is allowed through your firewall: https://www.x-plane.com/kb/allowing-x-plane-through-your-firewall/ Controller (C3), Los Angeles ARTCC Developer: xPilot, vATIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Shannon Posted May 11, 2020 at 03:03 PM Posted May 11, 2020 at 03:03 PM (edited) Ah, I guess that option is only in 11.50. Did you verify that X-Plane is allowed through your firewall? Edit: Also, does the UDP ports in my screenshot match your UDP ports?

Arthur Jones Posted May 11, 2020 at 04:57 PM Author Posted May 11, 2020 at 04:57 PM It was a firewall problem. Working now. Thanks Shoobee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
