There is currently development ongoing to implement multiplayer using AIModels. However, a RADAR system doesn't need this. A RADAR station just needs position information of nearby aircrafts. Additional info might be the channels a pilot listens to with his voice com equipment. Our efforts to use AIModels include sending properties over the wire, so it would be easy to include any frequencies if needed. A RADAR station can be implemented as a listener to the server, so the server sends information of aircrafts to the radar just as to any other client. Maybe I have to add some minor changes to the server code, but all in all it should be pretty simple to create a listener. Any volunteers to implement a RADAR, step forward! :) regards, Oliver ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
