Peter, At the moment I use port 6112 port forwarded via the router to my external address for all external connections. My group then simply uses the DNS URL to connect. Internally I connect using port 6112 via the LAN IP address to the hub. Are you suggesting that I choose a different port (maybe 6...

Hello, We have been using JoinFS for a few weeks trying to weed out any issues. This past weekend of use were on a group flight using V 1.2.8 or 1.2.10. The hub was using 1.2.10 and had port forwarded port 6112 to DDNS as it has for several weeks now. Connections are far and wide; South Africa, Fran...

Hello again, I did change the address of the whazzup file location and there were many more aircraft showing. I looked at each one in the whazzup file and each one seemed to have a unique callsign. Today I change my static whazzup file from a flight last Sunday where only four aircraft showed but th...

Thanks for checking,

I was on the system when you were testing.
I shall try using a different whazzup address to see if that makes any difference.

Hello, I have sent a PM with a URL to get a zip file that includes all of the details about the map on my local site. The php reload settings were changed form 60000 to 3000 on my active site. I also did a static test using a php WWebserver 7.1.10 on another PC using the whazzup contents of the deta...

Hello again, Today we had a group flight of 7 pilots. My web page displayed only four aircraft of the 7. The one provided through JoinFS client link showed all pilots. What I noticed is that there were 4 identical models (N71FS) and only one of them displayed on my map. Is it possible that the php w...

After having read a few posts relating to connections I decided to shut down the FSX that was running and simply start JoinFS. As this system is used solely for the hub and associated web page fed by whazzup perhaps the best solution is to leave well enough alone? The log indicated that it was looki...

Just as a matter of interest I connected using P3Dv4.1. A new user joined but disappeared. I refreshed the user window and saw that the user was shown as not connected but did continue to be seen by the web map. I disconnected from the network and reconnected. The user 47314 showed up again but then...

Hello, I did send a PM with the site location. Today I tried resetting the simconnect version on the system where the hub/web is running. After rebooting, although a simconnect issue has yet to be solved, I can now see 5 concurrent users on the web which matches the set of connections active. I am p...

Hi Peter, I removed all simconnects and installed just 61259. Upon starting joinfs the same conflict exists. The simconnect number is for XPack but I do not have that version of FSX. Perhaps that might be part of the issue? Note that I did try joinfs with only the FSX simconnect native to the FSX ve...

Hello, I have set up a web page for our small group's flights. I used the older php Windows installer (5.x.x). The page shows planes and the right-side pull-out shows the identities. What I am finding is that that side-board and displayed planes seems to be limited to a list of 4. I had 4 planes act...

Thanks,
Perhaps I should remove all of them and re-install 61259 alone?

Hello again, I did not see the post from Monday; however, today I decided to update the hub to the latest version. I have included the log captured from version 1.2.8 and also the beginning of the logs from 1.2.10. The system was rebooted before the new sessions were started. I have attached 2 zip f...

Thanks for the suggestions.
I will try the log route.
Now I just need to get enough of my group together to try this.
Once I do have that going I will capture the log details and send.

Hello, We have bee testing JoinFS for a few weeks. Usually there are no more than 3 concurrent users. The hub is 1.2.8 running on a local Windows 10 64 bit low end system. Internet for the hub is via WiFi and a broadband cable connection. The hub machine also has the suggested web server to provide ...

Alrighty then, I updated to Ver 1.2.8 on my hub machine. After updating I found that I could no longer connect clients internally to my external URL. I changed to my internal IP and connections worked again. I guess the networking changes have ruled out using external sources for internal LAN connec...

Thanks so much for the replies.
Time for me to get on with Version 1.2.8.

Hello, Perhaps someone might be able to help? How often does the client/hub regenerate the whazzup.txt file ? I am assuming that my local hub is generating this file. Also assuming that the php settings can change to something like 5000 or 5 seconds. Reasoning: Trying to make the map update position...

Not a problem Peter,
I was just thinking of ease of use for my fellow club pilots.
Yesterday and today the client link to "Map" is not getting to the default website; hence, my asking for an option.
I have already given them a link on our website.

Hello, I have managed to set up a joinfs hub that my fellow club pilots can connect to. Using DDNS I also have been able to set it up so that I can use the external URL to connect to thew joinfs session running on my LAN. I have now also managed to get a running joinfs map on that same machine that ...
