Hope this helps Peter,Report following further test flights 010317. WAT04, WAT06, and intermittently WAT01.
Dan started at EGOS awaiting us to join, at this stage he had not sync'd any weather. I then joined and we synchronised weather with my pc and not the server so that we could both see the same. i had rain and 14kts @ 213, whereas Dan experienced clear skies and 10Kts @211 and saw my hover in front of him as jumping about. ( i can hear the comments of my hover skills already being questioned, but they were not that bad !!!!) My view of dan's aircraft was not jumping, we then performed a right hand circuit departing from 036 with Dan leading us out. all smooth up to the turn where there were glitches / lag that caused the airframes to not be in formation.
Part way through the circuits we swapped positions and i took flight lead, again the flight was constant to the point of the turns as the cyclic inputs are not being shared in time and this is creating a lag that is hard to follow and catch up on.
We landed on the 36 feathers and awaited Mac's airframe to join. whilst monitoring the "Nodes" "Airframes" and "log", we could sometimes see mac in the nodes but not airframes, or airframes and nodes for about 20 seconds and then he would dissappear again. numerous attempts were made to connect and dissconnect by mac to renew the lists, but to no avail as his airframe would only sometimes be seen briefly.
the log was indicating :-
"01/03/2017 21:11:04 Simconnect exception: 25" this was shortly after removing someones shared "fuel trucks / baggage carts and sewage trucks ???

followed by lots of simconnect exception 3's........
we gave up after an hour of testing and trying to fly with Mac, but to no avail.
(just noted from my own report that Mac's connection would last for EXACTLY 1 min and then the connection was lost. REF timings from the monitor log)
