Yes it's solved. Nothing to do with your program. It was my own mistake.

Thanks again for the support.

Very nice program so far. Discovered a few things and have some suggestions.

• You need to start the flight BEFORE beginning anything with GSX. If you start GSX boarding before starting the flight in SimPassengers, the fligth in SimPassengers never starts. Don't know if it's a bug exactly, but just an observation.

• In the SimPassengers window in-sim, a clock with the current time would be a nice addtion. Perhaps in both local time and UTC time?

• An expected arrival time (ETA) shown would also be a nice addtion. Since SimPassengers already know the start of the flight and the duration of the flight (as it's announced in the welcome aboard) an ETA would be possible and a nice addition in the window?

Other than that. Very nice so far. Keep up the great work! :)

Hi @anilcougar ,

this "Please log in on the launcher app first" lark is getting tiresome at this stage

[img]

This is on the latest version 1.1.7 .😞

@Sparkrite Hi!

I see one problem with the screenshot and that is "[email protected]" email address. That was my mistake and was changed to [email protected] with version 1.1.7

To be on the safe side, can you please completely uninstall SP and redownload and reinstall SP 1.1.7

That problem was fixed with the latest version tho.

I used the old screenshot in the post above.

I have un/re/installed V1.1.7 many times and while it may offer a temporary "workaround", the bug is STILL present.

This is also borne out by many posters on your Discord group reporting the same issue.

Hi there,

Is this also for GA? Or smaller commercial aircraft.

Thanks,

Hi Captains,

First of all, I sincerely apologize to those who have not been able to use SP as expected.

We recently identified two major issues:

1. Some users were unable to start a flight because the Bridge continued to request a login, even though they were already logged in through the Launcher.

2. In some cases, the Bridge was unable to read the aircraft’s GPS position correctly.

Let me start with the login issue.

SP uses WebSocket connections to provide fast, real-time communication between the Bridge, Launcher, and our servers. However, users connect from many different network environments, with different firewall rules, antivirus software, NAT configurations, and system setups.

We released two versions intended to resolve this issue. Those updates worked for some users, but unfortunately did not solve the problem for everyone. In a few cases, they also caused SP to stop working for users who had previously been able to run it.

At that point, instead of continuing to release speculative fixes, we enabled verbose logging, collected connection data, and investigated the complete login flow.

We found the problem and fixed it.

Our servers are now more tolerant of different network environments, and the login issue appears to be resolved. According to our logs, 18 user connections have been successfully established since last night, with no recurrence of the problem so far.

The important part is that this was a server-side fix, so no new SP version is required for the login issue.

Now, regarding the less common GPS position issue:

Not everyone is running SP on a high-end computer, and some systems may already be under heavy load when a flight is started. In certain cases, the Bridge attempted to read the aircraft’s position before the simulator was ready to provide it, causing the flight to be rejected.

We have fixed this as well. However, this correction requires a new SP version, which is scheduled for release this Sunday.

Thank you again for your patience, your reports, and for helping us identify the problem.

Blue skies!

ps: and one final note for @Sparkrite his patience and help us identify the issue was golden. Thanks brother.

@anilcougar Very quiet here of late ???🤷‍♂️

Guys,

SimPassengers 1.1.8 is out.

This one got a little out of hand (:

It started as a fairly normal update and somehow ended up with 30 supported languages, airline specific boarding music, a pile of announcement changes and a few bugs that had apparently been sitting there quietly waiting for us to notice them.

The main change is the cabin language system.

Passenger announcements now follow the airline you are flying for. Lufthansa speaks German and English, Turkish speaks Turkish and English, Iberia speaks Spanish and English, JAL speaks Japanese and English, and so on.

English speaking airlines stay in English, so there is no silly English followed by the same English again.

The other big change is boarding music.

There is now a Real World Music library. If SimPassengers knows the airline, it picks the matching boarding music automatically. If it does not, it just falls back to your normal track.

We also went through the announcements again after actually flying with them and changed quite a few things that sounded wrong once you heard them in the aircraft.

Flight time is now gate to gate, aircraft names are pronounced properly, airport names are spoken as cities, the arrival update has much more useful information, and the captain no longer tells you pushback is about to start while you are already going backwards (:

We also found that "cabin crew, be seated for landing" had never actually played.

Ever.

That is fixed now. And please don't forget to run the launcher and switch to High Quality audio engine

The bridge reconnect issue after restarting MSFS is also fixed. The old bridge process was sometimes staying alive after the sim closed and blocking the next one.

Anders Bermann also managed to find an airline mapping problem during beta by flying Heathrow to Brussels and getting welcomed "on behalf of BEL".

So thanks Anders for breaking it before everyone else could (:

There are a few other things in there too, including the new Hall of Fame, Advanced aircraft showing in gold on the live map and the pilot card inside the launcher.

Anyway, 1.1.8 is available now.

Install it over the existing version as usual.

If you find something stupid, let me know. We seem to be getting pretty good at finding those lately (:

1.1.9 is mostly a data release.

It started with a simple report from a pilot flying Aeroitalia: there was no Italian announcement.

That turned into a much bigger cleanup than we expected.

We went through roughly 250 airline records and found quite a few cases where the airline name, country or ICAO code was either outdated or simply wrong.

A few examples:

• Korean Air, Asiana, Jeju Air and Air Busan had never announced in Korean. Their country was stored as "Republic of Korea", while the language table expected "South Korea", so the match never happened.

• The same issue affected Syrian, Dutch and Russian carriers. 21 airlines in total were missing their expected language because of this.

• Aeroitalia was being identified as "Aerial Transit Company", an old US company that no longer exists. That meant Aeroitalia flights were running announcements in English instead of Italian.

• Sky Alps was still tied to an old Swiss European Air Lines entry, so an Italian regional airline was announcing in German.

• ITA Airways, AJet, Akasa Air, Riyadh Air, Air Peace, easyJet Europe and quite a few others are now recognised properly for the first time.

• Mozambique's flag carrier will no longer introduce itself as "Linhas A".

• We found 12 ICAO codes that pointed to two airlines at once. One of the better examples was MAI, which could resolve to a defunct Kyrgyz airline and make a Mauritania Airlines flight announce in Russian.

• Belgium now uses French for its local-language announcements, and Brussels Airlines is properly recognised by name.

We also changed how SimPassengers reads the flight logs you send us. The next report should give us considerably more useful information than the previous format did.

And genuinely, keep sending those logs when something sounds wrong.

This entire release exists because one pilot flew an Italian airline, noticed there was no Italian in the cabin, and took the time to report it.

That one report uncovered all of this.

A special thanks to Emiliano Gnudi, whose report about missing Italian announcements on an Aeroitalia flight started this whole investigation. One good bug report ended up uncovering issues across roughly 250 airline records. That is exactly why these reports matter.

1.1.9 is available now.
