i was just fixing to say that there is migration code in the binaries so removing previous configuration data should not be necessary any more like it may have been at some point in the past... uninstalling previous versions should not be necessary... perhaps your shortcut hadn't been updated? i dunno and don't have any way to test them...

I decided to move to the stable release 2018.1.1.
With the version 2017.3.1, I've been successfully trying the connection to VatSim using this tutorial: http://thejabberwocky.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1032

When I try with 2018.1.1 there is a telnet connection problem between FG and SquawkGear when FG is started:

2018.1.1 :

2017.3.1:

The command line options are the same for both:

"C:\Program Files\FlightGear 2018.1.1\bin\fgfs.exe" --launcher --generic=socket,out,1,127.0.0.1,1863,tcp,squawk --telnet=socket,in,1,127.0.0.1,5900,tcp --multiplay=out,10,mpserver01.flightgear.org,0 --multiplay=in,10,,5000 --telnet=5401

yeah, you'll want to look and see if there's an area here on these forums for VATSIM related discussions... if there is, post your problem there instead of in this topic... this topic can actually be closed now since the release is out and we don't need to test the RCs any more ;) if there's no area available here for VATSIM stuff, you'll probably have to ask over there on that other forum for assistance...

i don't know anything about VATSIM so i can't really help there but i will ask how you're passing the related parameters to FG... are you putting them into the "Additional Settings" section of the launcher's "Settings" tab?


[edit]

ahhh... i see your command line at the bottom of your post... i don't see anything immediately wrong with it but that doesn't mean much in this case...

The thing is that it works fine with 2017.3.1.
It seems to be a Telnet issue between FG and Sqawkgear so isn't really VatSim.

I don't know anything about Sqawkgear but it appears that FG is initiating a connection to port 55225. This doesn't appear to be happening with FG 2018.1.1

Last week I managed to finally make connection to VATSIM, it runs fine on my (Win 10) computer and FG 2018.1.1. Did you not forget to copy the squawk.xml, radios.xml etc files from your Squawkgear install folder to fgdata?

When the *. deb packages (Ubuntu) can be expected?

the .deb for the release? i don't know... i don't know who manages that... the only one i know of is the PPA operated by saircot here in the forum... i don't remember the digits on the end of their handle :( you can search their name in the members list and inquire of them if they know...

That's exactly what I did, I hope he does not mind if I post his reply here :) :

Hi,

I'll be uploading the new version this weekend.
