Agreed, FGCOM server in use is not of issue here apart from fgcom.flightgear.org being always offline / unreachable. It seems like it has been hacked or the server owner has just given up on it. I am also trying to look back at historic changes in the flightgear/src/Network/fgcom.cxx file to try and trace which version this issue seems to start with. The Last known good fgcom version that still works without crashes is an old compiled version that still used the "phonebook.txt" from the fgcom /data...

Thanks. Will check the server and let you know in a few hours if the fgcom server is getting the extra traffic from that change. It also depends on if people know that fgcom is working again. It should work out the box for new installs but I'm wondering about existing users that have turned it off. Is there any way of setting up a broadcast message or bot on the irc / in simulator chat with a message every 30 mins or so to announce that "FGCOM voice communications are now working on fgcom.ddns.net...

New incarnation of the FGCOM server is now active on fgcom.ddns.net. I have added functionality in the rear end of this server to accept all frequencies dialled into it (geolocated to within 100nm of a fixed position still as this is a feature of the clients). As long as all participants are on the same frequency EXACTLY and in close proximity to each other, they should hear each other.

Gijs, It's still testing, I wish to "load test" it with our current player base and see how it handles it before building a dedicated server or deploying to a cloud server. To this end, it wound be good to do a month trial where my server is number 1 in the list / "default" server or only entry in the fgcom settings dialog. Either that or if there is a way to push a change to your dns servers that would forward the traffic for fgcom.flightgear.org to fgcom.ddns.net for the month. Downside is I don't...

Gijs, Any chance of temporarily only having my testing server as the main FGCOM server? I.e. Changing the online tag for fgcom01 to false in the https://liveries.flightgear.org/mpstatus/mpservers.xml file? or raising the position of my server in the file to the top of the FGCOM servers list? Currently mobile with the server in question (as hosting on my laptop, but out using it for work until 2000hrs GMT tonight.) but if the change could be made, would be better for "out of the box voice" Line to...

Same or similar issue to what I have been explaining in ticket https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/2487/ Have a go at testing against my dev server at fgcom.ddns.net since the main one is permanently down. Gijs was good enough to put it into the Multiplayer/FGCOM dialog today, so should be easy to select now for testing no matter what platform we run. I don't have debugger access or the coding experience to help dig any more unfortunately. Kez
