I was not aware that it is possible to switch to another clients cockpit. However, if this really depends on properties which get not transmitted over the network yet, we should disable this in the upcoming release. Sending properties over the net is more complicated than sending some values.

If you only want to debug the transmitted data you can simply connect 2 clients directly, without a server in the middle. Note that you can only connect 2 clients directly, not more. If you only want to know if the server recognises your (or any other) connection, you can simply telnet to the server and see the list of it's clients. The telnet port is commonly CONNECT-PORT +1. cheers, Oliver _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
