Please check the time synchronization on your computer. Due to heavy attacks to our services we had to increase the security, and requests with an invalid/outdated timestamp will be rejected. Your computer time most likely reports to differ from World Reference Time by more than 3 minutes. (Right click Windows Start icon -> Settings -> enter "time" -> Change Date/Time and make sure Synchronization is on)

    and either Select an exiting ticket from the list and click on UPDATE TICKET or click on Create new ticket
  5. 5.
    Add any info needed and hit submit.
Note: if for reproducing the problem no simulation connection is needed please do so from a fresh SPAD.neXt start without Simulator running. If simulator is needed do it after a new start not after a over the pond flight It's no joy to gravel through megabytes of unnecessary logfiles if you update the ticket after a 5 hour flight. Processing of such tickets is declined.
