We actually did manage to get the OLK code working under Linux. It required a few changes as it was seg-faulting. The OLK code is a serious frame rate killer though. Every frame it opens a TCP socket to the server, sends its position, then closes the socket. It then opens another socket to the server, requests all the other aircrafts positions and closes again. Feel free to browse and comment on our new multiplayer implementation. Since it is UDP it is a much lower performance hit. As it is integrated into the IO subsystem, you can specify the rate the protocol runs at to further tweak performance. We typically run 10 - 30 Hz on our Tower sim prototype. The code and some documentation are on my website. http://tysonfamily.net/flightgear If you have any problems Duncan and I both lurk on the list and should be able to help.
