Open Radar not showing any planes

Sorry, but here I have to give up. Something is different there. Please tell us, if you find out, what it is! Thanks for your patience and testing!

Ok. Thank you very much for all your help anyway

Dear Wolfram,

Thank you for the advice however I have always had those features disabled and it still doesn't work. What always strikes me as odd when I open Open Radar is the command window. It always says Problem to activate preset 1 connection refused.

Thanks for all the help

I think it may have worked your idea with ORCAM. well it's working now. Fingers crossed it will later.

A general explanation for everybody:

The latest update contained two small bugs:
(1) It is not possible to disable ORCAM 1, the main switch checkbox is inactive
(2) The new feature "MP Packet Forwarding" has had the internal default localhost:5000

Combined with OpenRadar listening on localhost:5000 for multiplayer packets from the MP Server this creates an endless loop, as all received packets will be sent and sent again to the original incomming port of OpenRadar. This saturates the available network resources very quickly and makes, that no new packets are received anymore.
The initial visible contacts disappear.

The solution is to use different ports.

(a) Please let OpenRadar listen for MP packets on port 5002 (tab settings). This allows you to run flightgear in parallel. It uses Port 5000 by default.
(b) For ORCAM1 use Port 5010 for MP forwarding (UDP) and Remote control (telnet, TCP), For ORCAM2 define Port 5020.

So things stay separated and produce no troubles.

The issues are fixed in next version already, additionally I will not allow to set the MP forward ports to the incomming MP port of OpenRadar.

I am very sorry. Thanks to seb2222 for his help and patience!

Your log contains
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: Cannot bind

Maybe FG was running while you tried to use Open Radar?! In that case you have to make sure you use different local port numbers for each programm, they cannot bind the same port at same time (however, destination port can/must be the same as it is defined by the server you want to connect to).
