About

Finally, after all the years and time spent since I first started experimenting in 2009, I am very proud to introduce the first ever Open Source, completely stand alone YSFlight Server.

This server does NOT rely on ANY of the YSFlight Executable files. It involves absolutely no reverse engineering of any of the YSFlight Executables, and since ALL the work has been completed by myself, there is absolutely no copyright breaches.

How To Use

Ensure YSFlight is Installed in C:/Program Files/YSFLIGHT.COM/YSFlight (default) and then just launch OpenYS-ServerMode.exe from any location.

Alternatively, edit Settings.dat to your preferences and than run OpenYS-ServerMode.exe

Minimum System Requirements:
Windows XP SP3 or newer
Microsoft .Net 4.0 Framework or newer

Legal

In a nutshell:

If you wish to release a new program based on this source code, your new program must be released under an identical licence to this program.
If you wish to release a new program based on this source code, you MUST provide attribution (credits) to myself for the original work.
If you wish to release a new program based on this source code, you MUST NOT sell the program in any way - No Donations for your program, no end sales. Nothing.

Bugs

Known Bugs:
-A few non-crucial packets are being ignored at the moment (score and query airstates...) - this is intended.
-Ground objects don't move - this is intended.
-No AI Aircraft - this is intended.

Bug Reports:
-Best done via post below or PM to xX_SuperSic58_Xx here at YSFHQ or via email to: [email protected]

NOTE: Normally the program would send bug reports but since doing a massive server upgrade this is temporarily not implemented - if you see something and can reliably reproduce, please tell me!

A bug report is especially useful if you can repeat the problem reliably, but I do need a minimum amount of information. I make it my effort to fix all bugs as prioty 1. Extending the program is priority 2.

If I forget to fix your bug in a release, please remind me!

Any plans of porting a version for Linux?

Flake · Post by **Flake** » Thu Jan 15, 2015 3:03 am

Nope but it doesn't use any Windows DLL Libraries, It should be pretty easy to compile for Linux with a .Net 4.5 Compiler or above. Same for Mac I guess. Modifications would need to be made to support the linux/mac file structure though.

The program is now windows only. Sorry, not sorry.

Just fixed a few socket crash problems on connections and disconnections. Tested the release and all appears to be working right now. Strange, it didn't whinge in debug mode...

Is there any chance that we will be able to select an alternate installation site?

Just simlink.

Hmm. I just tested it thru wine. Opened for two seconds, showed some text for a split second and closed. I'll see what I can do about recompiling it.

Maybe I'm just missing something. How do you select the map?

I have it coded in already actually.

Add the path to the YS install as the first program argument.

Next version I will add the ability to change port from 7915 as argument 2, and field name as argument 3.

Speaking of which, it only runs SMALL_MAP at the moment. Oops. I'll sort that out tonight! hahaha.

Run it through a command prompt first so It falls back to command line and show me what the error is.

Can anyone (cough, vnaf, venom, crow, dt, etc. cough) please test the program for flight lag purposes? Is the distance lag worse/better/negligable?

Post by **Neocon** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 3:09 pm

Another bug I have noticed that I didn't see above is that it doesn't seem to load all of the installed aircraft in a .lst. I looked at them but didn't see a pattern. Example: The NCA cessnas do not show up, the classics and bush fleets other than one aircraft from each do not show up, but most of the main fleet does show up.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 6:34 pm

I noticed the same issue Patrick has. I also noticed when launching from a ground STP the aircraft spawn at an angle.

Onto formation flight I was testing it with someone and noticed their aircraft was shaking backwards and forwards when I got close, although there were no abrupt lag spikes which often strike in the standard server protocol.

Scarecrow · Post by **Scarecrow** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 11:06 pm

I'd be happy to test from a distance lag perspective, however I have no clue how to use it. I start it and the program crashes after implementing metadata.

I tried this myself too and noticed I was missing a few. I think it's because I did not capitalise the identify name. For example, I was loading RPFW_F15D but not RPFW_a380ST. I think that's sorted out now.

How qoi. May I ask what map/start position you were using and which heading the aircraft is now facing? It's either a failure to convert the heading value from the start position (only supporting degrees right now, could be why) or it's a failure to convert the start position to a spawn position/orientation on joining flight.

EDIT: Solved - I was doing Angle / 180 * PI for the flight data, which brings it to (0.00-6.28) instead of Angle /360 * 65535 which brings it to (0-65535). So the heading WAS changing but only by like, 0.0009 degrees from north. Lol.

They'll still shake a bit like they used to - I haven't made any changes to things like that - any better or worse? I think the difference with my server compared to Soji's is that my program is threaded where his is sequential. Thus is one aircraft lags on Soji's server, ALL aircraft lag because there server doesn't handle their data until the first aircraft catches up.

Had a look at the code and the only reason can think of is that it's trying to convert the identify variable to uppercase when there is no data there, null.

I added a condition check to stop this happening but without further details I can't be sure.

In Source, you'll see OpenYS/bin/debug/openys.exe - run that version because the stack tracing will be a bit more accurate in the reporting (will tell me the exact line number in the code) where it all goes wrong. Thanks for your help.

That made me laugh thinking about someone starting a flight and realizing they are flying sideways at 200 knots
