X-Plane freezes when connecting to Pilotedge

[pellelle@hotmail.com]

Hi:

Yesterday when connecting to pilotedge X-Plane completely froze on me. FPS went from above 40 to 1 as soon as I connected to the network. Whats interesting is that once I was able to disconnect (it took a while since it was really slow) FPS went right back up to 40+. Tried several times connecting/disconnecting with the same results. Even restarted my computer and the problem persisted.

Please note that I have been a long time PE user and have never had this problem before. Two things come to mind that could potentially have triggered this:

1) The night before I flew on Vatsim via Xsquawkbox (dont know if there may be a conflict here). I hadnt used VATSIM in a while (and never on this new computer).
2) I Changed to a new computer (about a month ago) and when installing Pilotedge (newest version) noticed that the 2010 C++ redistributable file fow 64 bits (which is indicated needs to be downloaded for PE to work well) is no longer available. But i had been using Pilotedge many times in the past month with no problems.

By the way its not a computer problem...mine is new and very powerful (see specs below):

Intel Quad Core i-7 6700K Processor overclocked to 4.4GHz Plus Ultra-High End Water Cooler
64 Gigabytes of DDR-4 3000MHz DRAM
1TB M.2 SSD boot drive providing read and write speeds of over 500MB/s
8TB (8 Terabyte) Internal Cold Storage Archive Drive
Nvidia GTX 1080 with 8GB GDDR5X Memory

Thanks in advance for your help:

Did you remove xSquawkBox from the plugin folder before starting x-plane?
I think there is a conflict between the two.
Consider downloading the x-addon manager - http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/fi ... onmanager/

If you're running an iPad using traffic, the solution is to set the IP address in the VSProTrafficRelay.ini file to match the iPad IP address. No need to remove and reload the PE plugin.

I use Ipad with traffic enabled. Also remeber yesterday opening foreflight in my Iphone (i hadnt done that in a while). Might be related to a conflict in the VSProTraffic Relay file when opening foreflight in both Ipad and Iphone. Ill check tonight.

Ill also check disbling xsquawkbox today if that doesnt work. Thanks

Yep, that's it. Match the IP on the device you want traffic on and you'll be good.

Or if you're not using ForeFlight, rename the ini file to a .bak extension so that it doesn't try to send traffic and you should be good.

Thanks for your suggestions. WIll try tonight and will report back .

Problem Solved! The IP address on the VSTraffic ini file was different to my IPADS IP address. Changed the ini files IP to match IPads and it's working fine.

I guess the problem was triggered when I used fore flight on my iPhone as well (I'm sure that before the ip numbers on iPad and ini matched).

Thanks for all the help.

Its also going to happen everytime you update your iOS and it hands you a new IP address. Glad it solved it.
