Drones are taking a rest

There's an issue I need to resolve this weekend that's causing controllers to have trouble staying connected to the network. The drones aren't causing the problem, but there's a good chance they're making it worse. I'm going to leave them offline for a little while until I can resolve this issue, hopefully this weekend.

Drop me a mail on what message they are receiving on disconnection, if any. I have an idea it might be some of the same thing we see at times.

Thx RJ, but this is a very different architecture to FSD.
I know what needs to be changed, it is a result of the authentication and logging system that was added late in the game.

Sorry RJ, these aren't the drones you are looking for.

The architectural changes were completed this evening and tested to the extent possible in a standalone environment. The change will be rolled out tomorrow morning before the service opens and will be testing with a few live aircraft and controllers.
This was a fairly major change in the internal message processing flows. It is quite possible that some subtle errors might happen as a result of this, under some rare (or not so rare circumstances). I'll post any known issues as they arise.
If system stability is compromised, I will revert to the current build of the server.

We were able to deploy and test late last night with several controllers, one live plane and a few controllers. All appears to be well.
Drones are back.
