WU11 LNM - Connection lost when using active pause (updated)

[antonvs]

This is indeed good news, also I have found than it no longer connects reliably to MSFS. Has this been addressed?

Thanks!. It's out yet?

Nope. Patience.😉 Gimme a few days. You'll see notice at the usual channels and here in the forum.

LNM does not seem to be working with SU11 anymore. I keep my fingers crossed for a fix.

What does this mean? Details please. 😉

@albar965. Alex, with regard to simconnect, this is with the current release version (2.6.19). I found as soon as I started using SU11, the session would connect OK but in no time connection is lost and I no longer see the Yellow plane position Icon or the Wind vane. I think the first time I noticed may have been one hour into a flight. After that, it would no longer connect at all. Either by pressing the "simulator connect" menu option or by re-starting LNM. I was flying the new DHC-2 at the time. The next day (yesterday) I tried the default SR-22 but have the same issue.

I also use Virtual.Flight transmitter and still see the Red icon of my aircraft as well as any MP Aircraft I'm with so that is still connecting OK

I have reported on the Got Gravel Discord that I am a moderator in about this thread here and two other members had this to say

- <Willy>, Aha! I knew I wasn’t going crazy. Anton, thanks again my friend 🙂

- >STOL Addictics [The Hodge146]>, Thanks for this!  It was really difficult to navigate with NVGs and LNM not connecting.
 

So others there are having the same issue as well.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can give you more information, I can't remember if there is a error log in LNM.

Cheers Anton.

Hi Anton,

known connection issues are so far reported when using FSLTL or active pause. I have no idea how to fix this so far. LNM worked before. Then came SU11.🤷‍♂️

Try not to use other SimConnect related tools. Maybe there is the issue.

I will try the latest beta version, oh and I don't use FSLTL

[antonvs]

From a quick test of 2.8.1 beta, I do not have any connection issues so far. I will report back after my current two hour flight. In addition, all the Airport details now show on the map as well

[antonvs]

I had no problem for the first leg of a flight plan, then after taking off on the second leg (even in beta 2.8.1) I lost connection again.

I have tried disconnecting Flight.online transmitter but that doesn't seem to be the cause. I will exit at my next landing and return to a fresh session of MSFS to see what happens then.

[antonvs]

LNM connection problem found!!!!!!!!

It happens anytime and every time I hit Active Pause. The plane icon freezes on the map and will no longer follow the plane when you come out of Active Pause.

I am now looking to see what happens if I use Active Pause from the dropdown toolbar rather that a switch I have bound to my Saiitek X55 controllers. I am also having an unrelated issue since SU11 and wonder if both these issues are some change in how the X55 is now operating since the update.

Known problem mentioned in the threads. Don't use active pause for now. Reported to Asobo already.

BTW: This thread is about airport names.😉

I am wondering if my troubles with LNM dropping connection are also something that has changed since SU11. I have now narrowed it down to anytime and every time I hit Active Pause. The plane icon freezes on the map and will no longer follow the plane when you come out of Active Pause. If I hit the LNM reconnect button/menu the plane icon and wind indicator disappear and the only way I can solve this is to restart the sim (LNM does not even have to be closed and re-opened).

 I am wondering if both the issues while they seam unrelated may be due to controller settings/bindings. I use a Saitek X-55 stick and throttles and when I study the bindings I have for active pause on button 3 on the stick.

I can see this show as Gear toggle button 3 if I do a search on the stick. If I do a search for button three on the throttle is shows as "active pause". The opposite to what they should be. See screenshot. This is proving beyond my logic.

There are now two other members of the Got Gravel discord that have reported back that they are getting the same issue. If we use active pause from the dropdown menu there is no problem in LNM

I have made a bit of a breakthrough. While still using my active pause on my joystick, the sim pauses as normal, when I press the button again the sim comes out of active pause but the LNM stays paused. If I then click on active pause on the tool bar on/off then LNM starts again. So the issue when using the toggle Active pause bind does not toggle, it only set active pause on and is not sending a signal to turn it back off. That is it is not toggling. Just act one way only.

[albar965]

I split a few posts into a new topic.

[antonvs]

For now, my work around will be to ignore the two keybinds and just use the keyboard or the dropdown menu.

Restarting LNM does not help. But for me it is a relatively clear issue of the sim if simulator restart helps on the other side. This means that something gets broke on their side.

I'd say everybody let Asobo know on their forums. I'll try to find out if there is a workaround.

Just to add another data point, I am not seeing this occurring when I use active pause. Have tried multiple pause/unpause and it stays connected. I am running 2.8.1.beta.

*Edit: this is using active pause button in the toolbar.

[albar965]

Just tested: The active pause bug was fixed in the SU12 beta. No more connection drops. 👍

👍👍👍👍Alex
