I don't know what happened to my reply with all the SF mailing list troubles but ... If we write a proxy app that actually emulates the X-Plane plugin interface/API we can : 1. Not need X-Plane or a second computer 2. Use both the IVAO and VATSIM networks with the XSquawkBox clients 3. Be cross platform (Mac, Linux and Win32) since the XSquawkBox clients run on all three 4. Still be using a network approved client a.k.a. VATSIM/IVAO <=> XSquawkbox <=> proxy app <=> FlightGear The proxy app to FlightGear side would be a piece of cake to code - only the X-Plane interface emulation would be a trick.
