I've had this happen quite a few times while SimServer is still running in the background after a FS session. I try to access the Internet and get "page cannot be reached" for every page. As soon as I close SimServer the pages will load perfectly.

Is this a known issue?

Hi Mike,

I don't have an explanation how this could happen. Yes, SimServer does create a webserver but it listens on specific ports not utilized by typical internet applications. What's your setup like? Are you connected to a router directly via cable or wifi? Do you use a proxy? It's the first time I read this and the underlying architecture hasn't changed since the initial launch in 2015 so I'm baffled.

Yeah I was pretty confused about it too. It doesn't happen every time, just very occasionally which is really odd.  If it's not a known problem I'll try and dig a bit deeper next time it happens. It's possible it's an  interaction with a VPN client or Wireshark or some other dev software I have loaded.

Happens here too if i run it and its sitting idle. for some time

I just open a topic about this without realizing people are having my same issue.

I haven't open the specified ports for SimServer to talk free that might help I will try it out and report

 

Opening the Ports did not helped still interrupts Internet connection

Ok so it seem like the internet issue doesn't happen when Prepar3D v4 is running. I used the software for 3 Hours and just sat at the airport doing other stuff with VPilot also active so I would know exactly when connection was drop, but it never happened. I might do a longer test but it seems pretty convincing to me.

Same here, if i leave it active when P3D is shutdown, i loose internet eventually.

 

Same actually happens when i leave the ProjectFLY client running too, oddly enough.

 

 

Same problem here...

I have to add that since a few days, connection with simserver is lost and unable to reconnect (keep trying, but to no avail...).

Only after generating a new QR-code and make a new connection, is solves but only for a few hours.

I have 2 iPads connected for the 2 CDU's on the B747, sometimes only one is working.
