[Xcsoar-user] Does anyone else have problems with Skylines tracking via XCSoar?

[Bogdan Manoiu]

Good afternoon,

On all the flights I did this year, XCSoar did not transmit the position to Skylines anymore.

The tracking code is verified correct. Next I tried an separate skylines tracking app (Skylines tracker) and my position instantly appeared in Skylines.

Moreover the tracking works correctly in Livetrack24.

Does anybody know what happened?

Thank you

Dear Bogdan,

from what I heard, the problem is, that the SkyLines server changed the IP address, but in some old softwares (like the old XCSoar), the IP was written directly in the cone (i.e., it do not use the DNS hostname to resolve the IP address).

This has been fixed in the code some time ago, but it seems, that it is working only in the testing version of the XCSoar (the RED one, version 7.0-preview15). The old one (blue, v6.8.14) seems to be affected and not working.

I would suggest you to install the XCSoar testing (red) and use it instead of the "blue one". The testing version is perfectly stable and working fine -- I use it myself for more than 2 seasons without any hiccups. And the tracking works fine in it (tested right now).

Cheers,

there was a problem in the SkyLines's database approx. 2 weeks ago, but it was fixed by Tobias last week. Could you confirm, that the problem

Dear Roman,

Yes, you were correct. I installed the test XCSoar (which I like very much by the way) and this instantly fixed the problem.

WX is quite bad in the UK these days but hopefully I will be able to test it in flight.

Thanks once again!
