Should not be necessary. All you do is to output the AI aircraft positions to all clients connected. The server itself fetches the data from the internet or whatever the source. No need to have a client for every AI plane. In a way you "fake" connected players on your customized server. > Then I would > connect to the server myself and perhaps fly around manually so I can see > the other aircraft?
