No multiplayer connection after crash

Postby calcmandan » Sun Feb 16, 2014 7:49 pm

I was at EDDF and was just about to hold short on runway. I was talking with the tower and bam, heard a crash noise. I looked around my plane and I ran into the taxiway signs. Wha??

So I shut down fg and restarted again, this time the sim crashed while loading. Now, I can launch fg but I cannot connect to multiplayer.

Running FGo 1.3.1 and flightgear 2.10 on ubuntu. I can press 'connect' but it won't actually connect. The ui doesn't change at all.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Found the fix. I had to check to see what was locking UDP port 5000 in netstat by typing the following:

sudo netstat -apn | grep 5000

It showed it to be 1245/asterick

This command showed me the PID locking the port

sudo lsof -Pnl +M -i4

Then I unlocked it by killing the process:

sudo kill -9 1245

I'm back in business. Hope this helps someone in the future.

FGCom uses asterisk.

If it would happen again or if you could replicate the fault consistently, consider adding a bug report.

Ohhhhhhhh ok, I obviously saw that but it didn't make sense to me.

I'll keep that in mind and will report a bug if it happens consistently. Thanks for letting me know.

I think, what made me most mad about it was that I was communicating with a tower controller, got to the point where i was going to hold short of the runway, and then i heard the sudden crash sound. turned out i drove into a taxiway sign. didn't know they clipped the planes. then i couldn't get back on to start my flight.

i got to do it later after i fixed it and now in the middle of the atlantic.
