No comm

Post by NM Doug »

Tried connecting a few times tonight, but no luck. Tried radio checks on delivery, ground, and tower at KSEE. I'm guessing it's just on my end - can you check to see if I showed up on the PE system around 02Z or so?

(Sometimes, my computer just feels tuckered out, it seems! :) )

There was a voice server outage for about 8 minutes this evening. The controllers did their best to send private messages to all affected pilots, but you were unfortunately missed.

The machine which runs the voice server is also the drone server. There is a resource leak associated with generating the drones, requiring a restart of that machine every 6 weeks or so. I shall set a calendar reminder to restart it once a month outside of business hours. The voice server restarts have happened a few times since launch and always seem to happen when it's busy...never during the afternoon when it's quiet. Annoying :)

Sorry about the inconvenience.

I just have impeccable timing, that's all! :) I logged off, set my transponder to 7600, and did a lost-comm flight (except for taking off, that is ;) ). 'Til next time!

P.S. Sheltered Existence was fun!
