Error connecting to voice server: connect failed (Forbidden - )

[Kristian Lavarone]

Hey guys,

So I've been a pilot for vatsim for a few years now and I've been active the entire time. However, about 4-5 months ago, I started controlling too. Here is the problem I am facing;

 

I log on as an ATC observer using AFV and euroscope, and am able to connect to the voice servers and observe/control normally. 

4-5 hours later, I will open up P3Dv4 and open up Vpilot, and when I click connect, im faced with the error message "Error connecting to voice server: connect failed (Forbidden - )" 

So I figured that there is a slight delay in the system from knowing when I am logged in as a controller, and logged in as a pilot. However, it has been more then 24 hours, and I still get this error message. 

 

Vpilot still connects and runs normally, however with no connection to the voice servers. I have not touched or opened my controlling AFV or Euroscope since, or had my account de/reactived recently.

 

Is anyone able to help sort this out, so that I don't have to wait 24 hours+ to fly after I control?

This is not the case at all, can you try updating your vPilot to the latest version and see if that helps? 

[Kristian Lavarone]

Yup, Tried that a no luck, also tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, yet still getting the problem.

 

I have only ever faced this problem when I went from controlling to flying or vis versa. Normally the error message goes away after a few hours, however this time, its been giving the message for 48 hours +, which makes me wonder if it will go away this time.

I can assure you that your account is in good standing, and there is nothing from a Membership perspective that is preventing you from connecting.

 

Are you certain that your controlling client has completely shut down?  Maybe try a reboot?
