Hello List,
some of you may already have taken notice of my multiplayer server for
flightgear (http://www.o-schroeder.de/fg_server). It's working quite well in
sane environments but I want to improve it and therefor have some questions
you may be able to answer.

Hello,
3) artificial life at airports The server gives a lot of
opportunities. One of the first things which came to my mind was
artificial traffic at airports. It should be fairly easy to write
clients in any (network capable) language which do simulate a client.

It could be that VFR-equipped planes (esp. those w/o radar) only need
things within the visibility range. I don't know about airborne radars,
never flew
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to run FlightGear without the 'command
prompt' window opening, or at least to have it minimized when it
opens. Is there a way to do this?
Also, I've looked for a 'borderless window' option in the OpenGL
commands with no success. Is there a way to create a bor

This bug showed up when I updated from CVS last weekend. Description
follows:
(1) With the default c172, fgfs hangs with the "loading scenery
objects" is displayed if --airport= (any airport from w110n40) It does
not hang for the j3cub or the pa28-161.
(2) With (atleast som) airports outside

So the question is: How can I easily calculate the distance and how many
nautical miles are "out of reach" (thinking of e.g. radar systems) ?
I think the range should be user configurable.
For VFR we have a nearly hard coded limit of 10 NM f

There is a traffic manager in FlightGear. May be you can make use of that.

Thank you very much. That's exactly what I needed.

Got a little further suggestion with the multiplayer. It's probably
just a server side thing though.
It might be worthwhile for the server to accept "observer" client.
You can connect to the server as an observer, i.e. no aircraft. You get
information about players online, where they are,

Hmm I would imagine the server doesn't need to broadcast these
observers to others. It's not an actual player.
I suppose using an invisible aircraft would work now as an observer.
If the server could handle som
