Connection delay since P3Dv4.1

Hi Steve,

Since installing P3Dv4.1/GIT 3.4.1.0, I've been experiencing a connection delay of around 30 secs each time I start GIT. This happens regardless of aircraft.

During the delay, the GoFlight and SimConnect icons on the Status page are green with the Aircraft icon showing red. After the delay, the Aircraft icon flashes green.

Not sure if this is connected, but I've also noticed the HEADING rotary has stopped working when using the Aerosoft CRJ X (I'm using the config downloaded from your web site). The MCP-PRO display updates when using the mouse to turn the HEADING rotary in the VC, but turning the rotary on the unit has no effect. This was working previous to installing P3Dv4.1. When testing the event in Detective, it works fine however.

Both P3Dv4 and GIT are being run as administrator.

Below are the log entries I'm seeing on starting GIT - please let me know if you need any further info.

Thanks,
Dennis

    I suspect the delay is because Winsock and Lua are not connecting on your PC for some reason. Check this error is appearing every time and then we have confirmed the cause.

    Thanks Steve, I can confirm this is happening every time, even after several re-boots of my PC. Do you have any pointers that may help me in finding the root cause? Unfortunately I'm not familiar with either Winsock or Lua .

    Appreciate your help as always.

    Kind regards,
    Dennis

    If you don't have a LUA Config.txt file in Documents\GoFlight Interface Tool, re-download GIT and reinstall. If you do have one, can you post the contents.

    Thx
    Steve

    Please find below the contents of the LUA Config.txt file as requested:

    hostname: localhost
    port: 27015
    path: default
    luatimeout: 500
    luahookcount: 3

    Try changing the port number. If no good, disable any firewall software you have and see if that fixes it. Also make sure the GoFlight Interface Module.dll is 2.4

    Best wishes

    Thanks Steve. I discovered that the Apple Mobile Device Support service was using port 27015 and, as I no longer use Apple devices, have now disabled that service. This has meant WinSock now connects to this port successfully.

    However, I now have an FSUIPC connection error...see log below.

    Any ideas what may be the cause of this one? Checked using netstat and no processes appear to be using port 8385.

    It's nothing to worry about unless you use Lua Tasks in Detective which I plan to make obsolete at some point now that GIT has Lua built in.

    Best wishes
    Steve

    No, I don't use Lua Tasks so will ignore this one.

    Many thanks Steve, your support is much appreciated as always!
