For a long time, there are users complaining about the connectivity in the app. They lost connections either with Prepar3D/FSX/X-Plane or with the other half of G1000(PFD/MFD). My recent research shows that all those are caused by the reliability of the wifi network. It’s not a matter of the quality of the wifi signal(of course bad signals always lead to low network reliability), but the load on the network, in other words, how busy the network is. Your may have a very good signal on the wifi connection, you may even downloading or watching HD movies online without any sluggishness, but you may experience continuous connection lost in the G1000 apps. That is because the network band width is occupied by other applications that the app cannot transimit or receive data frequently enought to keep the app act smoothly or even lose the connection. The key to keep the connection is not how fast the communication is(like watching online movies), but how continuous it is. So keep other applications from occupying the network band width is important to avoid loss of connection for the G1000 apps.
I will make modifications to the brdige and the app, adding some auto reconnecting function to compensate the lost of connection when under such wifi condition. Please sitck around for the updates. But remember, the key to ensure a smoothly experience is to reduce network load.
Is there going to be a fix for this loss of connectivity? It is sporadic.
Auto connection has been implemented in the latest version. But it’s important that you have good network environment since the communication is real time.
it seems very bad on my computer, couldn’t use it at all. do you have any recm. for the wifi router?
It shouldn’t be the wifi router unless it’s malfunctioning. The most important is to insure you have good signals on all the devices and there is no other programs like video streaming apps occupying the network constantly.
Dear friends,
Do you have any suggestions for a router model or brand? I am very disappointed because the frequent connection loss makes the app unusable. Even without any other device or software on the network in dual-band connection, there is no way to make it work. Please suggest any solutions to fix this problem.
