IVAO traffic in v255

[reatalk228]

I no longer get the "green" IVAO traffic on my map. I can only get the "blue" VATSIM, is there something I missed in the setup?

It's working from here - maybe there are connection issues between you and their server.

It was working when v255 originally released, but about a month ago it stopped, vatsim works fine but nothing shows up for IVAO. Online Poll is set to 30 secs for each.

Anything in the log?

[reatalk228]

Completely empty for IVAO....VATSIM still works fine and I checked to make sure it is v255. The crazy part is it was working fine the first 2-3 weeks then all of a sudden it stopped. I figured a server issue until it never came back even after a reinstall of Plan G v255. The poll settings are set to 30sec...i tried 15 and 60 still no luck...anything you got i'll try thanks.

I'll put some more logging in there, see if it shows anything - hopefully this weekend.

Thank you sir

I've added some extra logging around IVAO downloads. This is what you should see in the log file:

13:24:35.3 Connecting to IVAO v2 Whazzup server.
13:24:35.3 Timer = 60 seconds.
13:24:35.3 Attempting IVAO download.
13:24:37.3 Processing IVAO JSON data
13:24:37.4 69 Controller records.
13:24:37.4 889 Pilot records.

Additionally, you should see a file "whazzup.json" in your Plan-Gv4 Files\ivao folder (you may need to Show Hidden Files and Folders, as this is normally hidden)

There is only a VATSIM folder...I reinstalled the version you sent me after removing all plan G folders and this is the result,thanks

[tim arnot]

Hmmm. That tells me it doesn't get a file back from the Ivao server, but it also doesn't get an error. You could try manually creating the Ivao folder. I don't think it should make a difference, but you never know...

I don't know why it would return no file and no error. I'd expect some kind of error (bad url, server busy, access denied etc...) I'll need to investigate that further.

[reatalk228]

Ok, whatever you suggest I'll try. I seem to be the only person having this issue...whatever you recommend I will try, Plan G has Been my "go to" for about 10 years...If IVAO doesn't work I'll stay on VATSIM for the time being...thanks again.

[tim arnot]

It definitely looks like if you create the Plan-Gv4 Files/ivao folder by hand, it should start working.

[reatalk228]

yes sir, I just created the folder and it's working now, thanks for the easy fix...hopefully this helps someone else with the issue...thanks again
