Reply To: Frequently loosing connection to X-Plane

Hi, Gunther –

Yes, I’ve noticed those settings, but it seems like a workaround to me, not a fix. IMO, CLS2SIM shouldn’t be disconnecting. In P3D, it doesn’t. I think you had it right when you said early on that the CLS2SIM-XPlane connection is unstable.

IIRC, in X-Plane 11, I was not experiencing disconnect issues; I’ve uninstalled it now that XP12 is out, so can’t test it. But it’s X-Plane 12 that CLS2SIM can’t seem to deal with properly, and I’ve NEVER had any disconnect issues in P3D.

I still suspect it has something to do with the “XPlane10Connector” plugin CLS2SIM installs – “X-Plane 10” was years ago. I’m not a coder, so it’s just a guess, but the disconnects and the CLS2SIM Dataref errors XPlane 12 produces point to something that’s not right. Why should CLS2SIM be disconnecting on its own in the first place?

Regards,

David
