XSquawkBox Bugs Page
This page contains a list of all known bugs. Please refer to this page before reporting a bug,
or to learn how to work around a bug. See the end of the page to report a bug.
Known bugs that will probably not be fixed.
Planes may appear in the ground or floating above the ground.
This is due to the limitations of the protocol; different flight sims report altitude
by different standards (center of gravity, landing gear, etc.); this cannot be fixed in
the short term, but I am looking at this in the long term with the author of SquawkBox 3
for MSFS. This problem is exasperated when a match plane is poorly matched to its model.
(If a skycrane is on the ground drawn as a jetranger the jetranger will appear to be hovering
because it is so much smaller.)
Planes do not reflect each others landing lights or control surfaces.
This is limited by the protocol and will be addressed in a future version of XSquawkBox.
Fixed Bugs
Bug fixes for public beta 11:
- VATSIM: Voice rooms won't exit and restart repeatedly when two controllers are in
the same room on the same frequency.
- Model sets on Linux: this is actually fixed by X-Plane for Linux 816. This build of
X-Plane also fixes a nasty bug where the FMC would lock out. So definitely upgrade to
816!
Bug fixes for public beta 10:
- TCAS should work again.
- CSL doesn't use planes withh liveries as defaults unless the CSL file says so.
Bug fixes for public beta 9:
- Plugin doesn't crash with Linux XP811.
- Plugin doesn't crash on CSL errors.
- Voice rooms are not confused by URLs on VATSIM.
Bug fixes for public beta 8:
- IVAO crash on quit fixed.
Bug fixes for release candidate 7:
- Macintosh VATSIM build crashes after a few hours.
- Slow framerate on servers without weather. (This will now go away after a few minutes.)
- Smoother multiplayer.

Bug fixes for release candidate 6:
- Throttle will not change when other planes are visible.
- Bad METARs will not set barometric pressure to zero.
Bug fixes for release candidate 5:
- Planes don't all look like the 747.
Bug fixes for release candidate 4:
- Pathnames to aircraft are now correct through X-Plane 7.62.
