Great news Dave that you are freeing us from XPUIPC... fantastic ! ! Will we still be able to run P2ATC on a networked computer? Bruce

Yeah, they may have some extra logging going on that causes performance issues. I remember them admitting to doing that in the past for, I think it was a graphics issue they were trying to get to the bottom of. World Traffic was working pretty hard at the time so it may have been clogging things up. I'll let you know what I find when I have a chance to do a flight. Turning off World Traffic didn't stop the freezes, but turning off P2A_XPLink did. Bruce

I actually saw this issue as well. X-Plane 12 was freezing every 30 or so seconds for 5 or 6 seconds until I turned the P2A_XPLink plugin off in X-Plane's plugin manager. I didn't want to post until I had a chance to do some more testing but that won't happen till this weekend. This is the first time I have seen this. I was using X-Plane 12.1.3-r2, World Traffic, and P2A 0.0.28 when I experienced this. It was the first time I used the x-plane rc and P2A 0.0.28 so I had no idea where the problem was coming from (still don't 😄). Thought I would say something in case you guys wanted to look a little deeper, there is probably not a lot of us doing the x-plane/traffic thing. Everything was working pretty good before my change to X-Plane 12.1.3-r2 and P2A 0.0.28. I fly to Laquardia a lot with heavy traffic and have not seen these freezes previously. P2A has done a pretty good job of keeping me out of traffic trouble, you guys are doing a great job on that. One time at KLGA I had to wait for 4 planes to land before I was told to line up and wait, pretty cool guys ! ! Thanks ! ! Bruce

Traffic looks like it was working on the last hour and a half flight. Traffic was moving on the P2Av3 map and looked to be normal. I'm using the latest version of X-Plane 12. On the previous flight, where traffic looked to be stuck, I had opened and closed the World Traffic Radar screen a few times. I was trying to determine if the traffic was the same on the P2Av3 map as on the World Traffic Radar screen. On about the 3rd time I opened the World Traffic Radar screen, it started blinking and did not seem to be updating the aircraft position. I'm thinking that a problem with World Traffic may have been the cause of traffic appearing to be stuck in the same place for an hour or so. I'll report back if I find anything new. Thanks a lot Dave ! ! Bruce

Dave, The connection worked and I got icons on the map for the AI traffic. But, I don't think the traffic was updating its positions. It could have been a problem with World Traffic. I'll fly another flight later today and report back in this thread if it's working or start another thread if it's not. Thank you very much Dave ! ! Bruce

Hi Dave, Understandably, this is probably not high on your hit list. As of EarlyAccess_0.0.26C, remote access to the X-Plane traffic plug-in is not working. When you get a chance to look at it this might help a little. Relevant part of the log: 2024-10-31 12:16:14.2651|ERROR|P2ADataLinq.AsyncTCPClient|Error connecting to HostSystem.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:48007 It looks like the IP address in the input text box isn't being used as it is trying to connect to localhost 🙂 I can link the log file if you need it. This is not a nag 🙂, You're doing a great job Dave thank you much !!! Bruce

Thanks Dave, enjoy the rest of your weekend 🙂

Dave, I tried again with Early Access 0.0.20. I am still not able to connect. Thanks, Bruce

Thanks Dave, no hurry 😄 Bruce

Yes I did Dave. I shut v3 down and started v2 and traffic in v2 works as it should so I shouldn't have any network or sim/plugin issues. Here's the error I get.

Hello Dave, the new interface looks great nice job! Using V3 EarlyAccess_0.0.13 I haven't been able to connect to the X-Plane traffic plugin over the network. I was able to install the newer version of the plugin using the installer included in V3. I have firewalls turned off on the P2A and X-Plane computers. Connecting with P2A V2 works fine. Any ideas? Thanks ! ! Bruce

Correction: " I believe I had to adjust settings in XPUIPC to get P2ATC to see the battery and power." Should be "radio and power". Bruce

I have been using, since Oct 2022, a client/server that ARebs wrote and posted in a thread on the org. It has been working perfectly. I believe I had to adjust settings in XPUIPC to get P2ATC to see the battery and power. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/272191-crash-of-xpuipc/#comment-2426762 It is 2 apps, a server for the XP machine and client for the P2ATC machine. Very light weight and no noticeable resource draw on my 2 old boxes. It allows you to not have to run the XPUIPC client on the networked P2ATC machine that causes XP to crash. You will run the XPUIPC plugin in XP, ARebs' server on the XP machine and Arebs' client on the P2ATC machine. Bruce

C0nnex was going to set the tool up so you could get a license, for a small fee, with other editions. Probably not a big enough demand to remind him to make it happen. I'm sure he would if someone asked. He didn't even have a tool when I asked if it was possible to use SPAD.neXt in a remote joystick application. He said he might write one at a later date, 6 hours later I had a working tool LOL.

In case anyone else is looking for this. C0nnex at spadnext.com has 2 forums, a public one and a registered one. If I remember correctly I had to message C0nnex to get a login for the registered forum. The remote joystick tool is located in the Forum / SPAD.neXt / Registered / Complete Edition / Remote Joystick Beta thread. I also have the Complete Edition of SPAD.neXt which allows the Remote Joystick Beta tool to work by default, other editions may require a licence to get it to connect. Bruce
