FlightGear 2017.3.1 versus VATSIM position problem

Postby SVW » Sun Nov 26, 2017 2:47 pm

Hi,
with v2017.3.1 FlightGear puts me correctly to the desired location, but in VATSIM I always show up at the position: lat=0 lon=0 (south atlantic near western Africa). Same with v2017.1.2, whereas with v2017.2.1 FG and VATSIM positions match perfectly.
Any ideas on how the versions differ?
cheers svw

Too stupid, simply forgot to put squawk.xml into Protocol folder, thought it would be there automatically, now it works!
