Any idea what happened to the Mumble server?
I read in a different FG forum that Josh is no longer on FG, it would be nice if Josh would respond so we know where we stand.

Yes - at the moment we have/had problems as well with MUMBLE as with the MPmap!

mumble: "itpns.ddns.net port 64738" is not available any more. Starting today we will try to use the new:
Address: "flightgear-radio. autosoft.fr"
Port: " 64738"
You will have to re-certificate (mumble will request that at first use)!
Let's try that starting tonight.

MPmap: After 3 days of not functioning -> this Morning it works again.
e.g. my: http://mpmap02.flightgear.org/v3/?ll=50 ... uminimized
You also might investigate the new "https://mpmap03.flightgear.org/". Depending of what you look for you may prefer either one!

I hope to see you all again for a nice weekend.

Josh mentioned this new address " octal.ddns.net" but that doesn't work either.

I entered "flightgear-radio. autosoft.fr" but I don't have a connection, is it working on your end?

flightgear-radio. autosoft.fr

There is a minor typo in the above address, there should not be a space between radio. autosoft. Should be like this "flightgear-radio.autosoft.fr"

It works so will see how this works.

STARs + SIDs
VATSIM is doing a major reorganization in which all their charts are not available any more for NON-members. The new VATSIM-Regional organization does not even show EDDF as an airport in Germany - so I cannot anymore refer to VATSIM for our charts etc.

Does anybody know an address where we in future can get reasonable (no-cost) charts for SID/STAR ??
(I would prefer no-cost in order to enable beginners to use those SID/STARs)

This one should be free - https://opennav.com/airport/EDDF

[legoboyvdlp]

Free up to date Jeppesen charts

https://vau.aero/navdb/chart/EDDF.pdf

[tdammers]

VATSIM Germany provides charts for the German airspace: https://vatsim-germany.org/pilots/aerodromes, they're still available to non-members (except for VFR charts, for some reason). Here's EDDF: https://vatsim-germany.org/pilots/aerodromes/EDDF

Well - this new "https://vatsim-germany.org/pilots/aerodromes/EDDF" seems workable - and contains exactly the old VATSIM-data I am using in OpenRadar since June2019. I also updated my references to it on our Film-List: http://www.emmerich-j.de/EDDF/Films/films.html! See also the other references on that page above the film-tables.

thx a million to tdammers and also to all other trying to help.

[AAL545]

I like the web site mentioned by tdammers. More detail and the maps are easier to read and very similar to what Iv'e been using for a while now. https://vatsim-germany.org/pilots/aerodromes/EDDF
What I also like is when you click on a SID it opens a new tab, there are lots of web sites that don't do this and the back button doesn't work. Dumb!!!!!!
I don't like to download if I don't know 100% this is what I'll be using for long term.

A very merry Xmas to You all.
I will not be available tonight - but depending on a very pretty lady I might be showing up 1. and/or 2. XmasDay.

One big Xmas-Wish from me to all of You: Please use MUMBLE !! The last days it sometimes was a little crowed - and then it is/was often very difficult to coordinate by typing!! Thus several participants may have been dissatisfied about the poor service -- without knowing that a lot more is going on than what they notice! Ask anybody else: Only when you also hear what is "Talked" on the radio you get an idea what really is happening around you - i.e. why you may have to wait or may even not be discovered by the ATC!! Because while he is typing he may be overlooking some actions and/or messages from you! (see e.g. movies on: http://www.emmerich-j.de/EDDF/Films/films.html.)

Pls use mumble!! because it is available without any additional costs for any PC-typ and also for Handy's (so you might not need an extra Headset for PC): See https://www.mumble.info/ For Installation-Instructions (German+English) see: http://www.emmerich-j.de/mumble/mumble.html

It seems that especially in Germany "Team-speak" is used a lot - so you might be interested in an comparison:
see https://praxistipps.chip.de/mumble-vs-t ... eich_50395

Anyhow: I wish you all a very nice Xmas-time.

Merry Christmas Jomo ! From New Zealand

Hi,

merry X-Mas to you too jomo

Reguarding the movies as discussed shortly yesterday: The movie from yesterday has again no sound for me - tried with 3 different clients on win, linux, android.

@all: do you have sound in joms actual movies?

I remember that it worked in the past - can't say before what time/date.

reguards, and best wishes for new year!

Tobias (LH-1701)

No sound. Playback is on permanent mute, so I don't believe it was recorded with sound.

[jomo]

Thank you guys for telling me that audio did not work in movies. (I am just a little disappoint that nobody has reported it already much earlier!)

I found the Problem: For Vokoscreen you have to enable the sound-recording with an extra little marker -- that marker was not active.
My big problem now: I know that since years - and it worked correct since years!! I cannot imagine what stupid guy did switch that marker to off ON MY PERSONAL COMPUTER with no access from other people - I must get a big big dog to protect my PC against such vandalism!!
(Of course it is absolutely impossible that I did that )

1.1.2020 I will be available! Till then have a happy NY-celebration!
