I just tested tracking on 02 and 05...neither is tracking my flights. :? :(

The last time this happened back in May I found that the MP servers had to be "reset" in order to begin tracking again. Does anyone know how to contact the MP Server Admins and request a look-see?

bnex10 (I think that's his username) is the admin of mpserver05. I think pigeond is the admin of mpserver01. I suppose an email or forum pm would be good enough.
EDIT: I just sent a PM to bnex10. If I don't hear back from him before tomorrow, I'll send an email. I'm sure he's already gotten a message from the tracker admin, however.

Where is this "Flightgear Tracker"? The only thing, I know of is the MP Map, and that's live...doesn't record?

In my sig where it says "check out my flights", click "flights", and replace "redneck" with "rickace". If you have flown on a tracked server, you will see a log of hours accumulated in each aircraft you have flown, as well as all kinds of data on your flights.

Awesome thanks :D But is this information correct? Max altitude: 61 feet? I flew from San Jose to LA below 100ft??? That kinda sounds inaccurate. 61k (61,000) is not plausible either.

Perhaps you teleported. The tracker does not discriminate between normal flight, resets, teleports, replays, etc.

Awesome. That means the world race can go on.
mpserver05 has been reset as well.

Cool...it's back online! :D :shock:

I'm really confused...somehow a bunch of my lost flight time ended up being added but boy does this look weird. :lol:

As far as I can tell, I'm not being tracked any more - a search of my callsign shows I've only used the Harrier and Citroen 2CV, when in fact I've logged a lot more time on SR-71s and 777s. I'm using V2 under Windows, any other information gladly given for a suggestion. Thanks in advance.

The mpserver you used either wasn't tracked or had lost contact with the tracker. When the latter happens the server needs to be restarted (and that might not happen right away).

Thanks, Anders. I've moved to a MP server in France (instead of UK, mpserver04) and my latest flights are showing up.

Once again, MP02 and MP05 are not tracking flights.

I'm not sure how to report this or who to contact. Additionally, a bunch of us had an impromptu event today and some flyers couldn't see others, some servers would not see other servers, and none of it was tracked. :oops: :cry:

Is there a way to officially notify someone that flights are not being tracked or that there are server issues?

Thanks in advance!

Just echoing what was said above me. I had been using MP05 for a few months now and noticed just tonight that it hadn't tracked any of my flights since August 9th. Even switching to some other servers didn't make a difference.
