I have just installed the newest version of SRS 1.4.8.0 but cannot for the life of me seem to connect to the server, has anyone else had connection issues with the new version at all?

Hi Matt, if you tried connecting earlier, you couldn't as I believe the server as crashed, I couldn't connect SRS earlier either, nor see the RAFAIR server in the DCS server list.

I have not been able to connect. In my case, from what Ciribob says, it is likely to be due to my using HOTAS - there is a clash in the export.lua/UDP - and who wants a clash in your UDPs?

However, on Ciribob's advice I have reverted to 1.4.6, which plays OK with 1.4.8. So if you can't get it to connect, or you are using HOTAS, I suggest you re-install 1.4.6.

Have just tried to connect on 1.4.6, and it won't. So it looks as though it may be down, as Paul surmised.

It was indeed the server, crisis averted!
