FG Disconnecting v 2020.3.8

Postby Robertfm » Tue Aug 03, 2021 7:27 pm

Anyone else experiencing random disconnection of FG. It is not my internet, other pages remain open and running. There is no one location it has happened 5 times this week, over water, over land, always on Autopilot, so not handling issues. Always flying PA28 Warrior 11 161, different altitudes.

When it happens on the occasions I was actually monitoring there was a buzz, then the flight paused on it's own then FG closed.

Auto notification on so perhaps Devs could take a look. Todays one about 7pm UK time. Thanks.

I had similar big troubles with 2020.3.8. This release is very unstable on all my machines.

2020.3.10 is latest, IIRC... 2020.3.11 is on deck, i think...

I looked at down load page and it is still showing just 2020.3 the same as the version that is 2020.3.8. So where is 2020.3.10 download. I have not seen this pop up when loading FG as previously.

which download page?
i just looked here: https://www.flightgear.org/download/
when hovering over the link "Download FlightGear 2020.3 for Windows (versions 7, 8, 10)" it shows https://sourceforge.net/projects/flightgear/files/release-2020.3/FlightGear-2020.3.11.exe/download which looks like 2020.3.11 to me ;)
i don't see anything on the FG download page indicating the time/date it was last updated so it may have been updated between your post and mine...

What meant was it doesn't show the latest version it just shows, 2020.3, previously it has shown the exact version. I will go to Source and take a look. Thanks.

I am currently downloaded it, thanks. The first port of call is the FG download page, the only point I was making was at this point it would show the total version number for instance 2018.3.4 now it doesn't so until you go to the source page you don't actually know there is a change. Given the Source page auto starts at 5 seconds 'you' may needlessly start a download of a version you already have. Not a big deal, just an observation.

Just when I thought the 2020.3.11 was doing fine an inexplicable drop out @ 5500ft on AP over Ireland.

Some posts were split off to the new topic Crashes and low fps with 2020.3.10 and 2020.3.11.
