[LINUX]YSFlight 20130805 (Rev. 2249) - some regressions
I have an issue with the latest version (see in the subject) of YSFlight for Linux (64 bit): whenever I join a server I have to wait a whole lot of time to log in (after 10-15 minutes I give up). This I compare with the previous ysflight version (some version from 2012). Maybe it's worth mentioning that I have about 3GB of addons. Still, it's a regression from my point of view since in my previous installed ysflight things went faster!
Another thing would be the UI: it's slower and uglier than the ncurses-like from the old YSFlight versions and the key combinations don't work anymore (e.g.: N, C: Network-Client)
And finally, whenever I am lucky enough to finally log in on a server and I start flying whenever I start typing in the chat the whole graphics 'stutter'.
All of these were tested with the 'ysflight2' binary.
The hw setup is: CPU: Intel P8600 (2.4Ghz), RAM: 4GB DDR3 (800Mhz), GPU: Nvidia 9600M GS
OS: Rosa Linux, 64 bit, nvidia driver (331.20).
If I can help you with any logs/traces please tell me and I'll gladly provide them.

Use case:
- log into the cvw171 server -> waited 20+ minutes didn't manage to log in
- the whole system started to drag, checked process status:
PID user PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
14821 emeric 20 0 4368m 2.8g 19m S 4 71.4 9:45.51 ysflight2
Is it a memory leak or the ysflight tries to load the whole addon stuff into memory?

In my humble opinion -- even it will be a tough task -- I would rather change the whole on-line mechanism part of YSFligh or optimize the current one if feasible. Since the YSFlight on-line community has grown pretty well this aspect is an important one so we can fly together no matter the geographical location. Also, the on-line capability of YSFlight is the main vector which made YSFlight popular and should not be neglected.

Another update: downloaded a fresh copy of ysflight for Linux (64 bit), no addons, only default planes and settings; passed 10 minutes already and I didn't finished logging in to the cvw-171st server; same on the 42south server.

***Edit*** ill keep the reset time to three hours... cant do two.
Also, it is not running the 2013 version of server. Its using the previous one, i call it 2012.. but i think its 2011..something. The new version of server doesn't reset for some reason.
If you need my help troubleshooting this issue let me know, ill be glad to help.

I strongly suggest you use the next earliest YSF version for any servers you are running.

You will need to down grade to resolve.
