Client requesting an xml file from server seems the best way to go.
A draft of format:
<aircrafts>
<aircraft>
<name short="A-10">Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II</name>
<download href="path/to/archive" />
<thumbnail href="path/to/tumbnail" />
<works-with>
<version>0.9.11</version>
<version>0.9.12</version>
</works-with>
<description>
Blah blah blah. Blah blah!<br />
blah blah.
</description>
</aircraft>
<aircraft>
<name short="Lightning">English Electric Lightning</name>
<download href="path/to/archive" />
<thumbnail href="path/to/tumbnail" />
<works-with>
<version>0.9.10</version>
<version>0.9.11</version>
<version>0.9.12</version>
</works-with>
<description>
Something here. Whatever. blah.
</description>
</aircraft>
</aircrafts>
Description could maybe allow some limited html (<br />, <h1/2/3...>, <a> and
maybe a few more)?
Version information may need a better format. Maybe blacklisting versions. Maybe
osg/plib info. Maybe other stuff too.
