Invalid Protocol Revision Error

[Darren Weingard]

First, I did search for this topic.  Found two strings where other users had the problem but both times it ended up with a person saying I have no idea why you are getting this error.

1.  Running Windows 10, and the most recent stable release of vpilot

2. Have a valid vatsim account and vpilot is connected to the sim

3. I have run both the sim and vpilot in administrator mode

4. every time I try to hit the connect button (just trying to connect as an observer to listen for a while and learn stuff), I get this error, Invalid Protocol Revision, error connecting to voice server, connect failed and then disconnect from server.

I was so looking forward to the next state of my flight sim career, can anyone help? Thanks.

Does this happen on all servers?

Does this happen if you connect in regular (not observer) mode?

Hi. Thanks for responding. Yes, it happened on all servers. I tried uninstalling vpilot and the. Downloaded it again. 

Made sure I wasn’t in MSFS when I installed it but made sure it was already running when I did the initial configuration in vpilot. It worked. 
 

I connected twice last night but never heard any sound. So now I have to troubleshoot that. It sure doesn’t seem easy to get on Vatsim and they make the whole thing pretty intimidating too. I hope I get to find out if it’s worth it.

I'm sure you're frustrated, but, I think it's important to keep in mind that not everyone encounters these errors.
