L-39C Multiuser "You have left the crew" ... "Login session has expired."

[jda8818]

Greetings to all:

L-39C flight training attempt on my Local LAN behind my router.  Two Win 10 machines, logged in with same credentials (mine) on both machines, recent purchase of L-39 for this purpose present.  Get to the point where the student has accepted the instructor into the rear seat and the student un-pauses his instance.  The instructor's machine is remotely un-paused at this point and all seems OK.  But within a few minutes the instructor is messaged with "You have left the crew" followed by an exit from the entire program and a message box reading "Login session has expired".  Seemingly inconsistent timing of this but the "Login session has expired." message always appears on one of the two machines.

Do I need two accounts (both with L-39 modules)? Two different people (two accounts) logged in, one on each machine? 

Client v. Player in ME? Tried it both ways.

Dyn. Spawn Template in the ME for the mission?  Tried it both ways.

Priority issues? Pilot v Instructor v equal priority.

Public Server Checkbox? Seems to work unchecked on my LAN (Student pilot in server at 192.168.0.xxx:10308) 

Server Maintenance?  (doubt it)

As usual, thanks in advance for any and all comments/suggestions!  Not sure which log files to provide if necessary.

Seems you got it right, if I read you correctly. Windows account doesn't matter. two separate DCS user accounts each with an L-39 license. Each DCS user account logged in on different computers.
Did you try to swap who's student/instructor. Seems one computer lost access to the DCS license server or you actually use the same DCS accounts on both computers.
Have you tried the free T-45 community module?

Actually, I'm logged in with my DCS account on both machines.  Same account both machines, so there is only one L-39C module instance available for what will actually be two people using it.  My student has his own DCS account, but does not yet own the L-39 module.  He'll buy it if that's the problem ... 

Thanks MAXsenna for your quick response!

Didn't know there was a T-45 community module.  That's in use at the present time I think.  I'll certainly check that out. Thanks for that MAXsenna.  Shades of Growler Jams on YT.

Ah, misunderstood! Well, there you have it. Two accounts/licenses. Strange you were able to do two concurrent logins with the same account though. I guess that's why one was kicked. 

Did it kick you back to the GUI, or the desktop? Maybe some clues in the log. Never tested this myself.

Kicked me back to the desktop.  OK two accounts, two licenses are necessary.  I guess my logic can be rationalized by noting that the RealWorld situation only requires one airplane!  

Thanks for your interest MAXsenna!

Right! Definitely two concurrent logins then. I'll wager that if you do a test and login on both computers again, even without flying, one of them will get kicked after a while.

As for the T-45. Even if it is "abandoned", it's still lots of fun. Download link in first post, and if you read through last year's posts, there are some community fixes one can apply. If you have questions, users are still active in the thread.

Youtube video guy whose channel is known as 'Growler Jams' has several videos of himself in the EA-18G Growler which are interesting.  He apparently spent about ten years flying the Growler off of carriers etc  and is now instructing somewhere in the southwest in the T-45.  Pretty cool videos including one real-life example of in-flight refueling in the Growler which I enjoyed when I was struggling with the DCS F18.  He is a good narrator.

I'm hoping for more from him in the T-45.  I'm certainly going to check out the DCS community version ... Thanks Again MAXsenna!
