Forced restart - no time shift

[voske 36]

 

For some reason (probably something to do with my pc) PSXT will usually do at least one restart while being parked at a busy airport. I noticed that after the restart it reverts to real time instead of sim time and I've got to uncheck and check the Sim time checkbox again to get PSXT back to sim time. Not a big issue now that I'm aware of it, but it might something that's connected to the bug that was fixed in 6.6.1?

I've added the log below (I omitted the live aircraft matching and the parked aircraft).

You were right, same problem. Now hopefully fixed in 6.7.1

Thx for the heads up!

6.7.1. seems impossible to replay traffic in my case. Live traffic is imported correctly but the time shift box in the latest version is not automatically checked anymore when I shift time in the sim.  

When I check the box manually it results in no (replayed) traffic.  Please find my cropped log/parameters files below. Perhaps it's an RT thing?

Did you check the Sim time box?

In the log i see it at false ...

Yes, that's the strange part of it. I manually have to check the box and see the shifted time appear as before but somehow the log reads false.

I set the value to 'true' in my parameters but still I only see this: 0 live replay traffic. The '4' parked live is a remainder of the previous real time traffic shift.

I was able to reproduce your probelm here. It looks a bug slipped in. Will investigate and repair.

BTW delete your lfolder4 parameter.  It is not necessary.

It was not a bug, but a RT issue. If you shift back in time say 10 hours you will see traffic appear. Same as going back 3 days. There must have been a problem in RT storing historical data.

I know that the cloud server RT is using is in maintenance these days, so probably something has gone wrong.

Thank you for looking into the issue!
