Re: [Flightgear-devel] Programmatic control of AI traffic
Hi Stuart, Thomas, Oliver Firstly thank-you to everyone so far, some good ideas have been put forward and It is seeming more likely that this might work. I don't have access to a live feed but I'm hoping to get a delayed one perhaps, in the same way as fboweb @ http://www.fboweb.com/ has. I'll be looking into either hacking the mp-server or developing a specialised mp-client as suggested. I have a feeling that the hacked server might be quicker to get going but the client would be the way to go in the longer term. Thanks again to everyone, I appreciate your help very much.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Programmatic control of AI traffic
Hi Thomas, Thanks for the reply. Would your solution allow me to manually control what might be thousands or aircraft? I haven't looked into the multiplayer protocol yet because I am just using the standalone exe on my pc. Would I be correct in thinking that I would implement the following: A "virtual" client (perhaps a thread) for each aircraft that connects to the multiplayer server as a computer-controlled "player". Then I would connect to the server myself and perhaps fly around manually so I can see the other aircraft? Thanks again, Barry. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Programmatic control of AI traffic
Thanks Leidson, I have seen the http and telnet interface and they are good. The problem is that it seems like you can only control your own plane in this way. There is an "AI" node in the properties tree but I can see no way of adding aircraft at run-time and this is my main concern. Maybe I can be more clear: I will be reading sample data of aircraft tracking. Using this data I would like to create or spawn a new aircraft inside flightgear for each unique flight I find. After this I would like to update their positions whenever I find updated tracking data. Thanks for all the replies, Barry. -Original Message- From: "Leidson Campos A.

I did a C module that interacts with Telnet server of FlightGear and controls the flight using the telnet properties/commands. It works fine.

[Flightgear-devel] Programmatic control of AI traffic
Hello all, I would like to use Flightgear to display real-time air traffic. At the moment I am using tracking data from this site: http://www.fly.faa.gov/ASDI/asdi.html What I would like to be able to do is to create and control aircraft programmatically from a c++ application. I have tried to find out if this is possible myself and I came across some useful info on the wiki that allows you to write flight plans in xml. This isn't suitable for me unfortunately because I need to create and control aircraft "on the fly" rather than have it all defined at startup. Does anyone know if want I want is possible? Thanks for any help, Barry. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
