This question pops up from time to time. In fact I wrote a similar mail some years ago :-) > I see the VATSIM and IVAO networks - I guess they both define their > respective protocols? As far as I know: they have closed protocols and you have to sign a kind of NDA to take a look inside. > Are these protocols to be used in an ATC-like environment, where > position updates every few seconds are sufficient?

There is a multiplayer protocol which you can use for this. Also there is a radar application in development but I don't know the actual state. Charles Ingels and myself are working on a module for real radio simulation realized through VoIP/Asterisk. The current state is that we are working hard on version 3. Version 1 was just a test, 2 was working until my server crashed but had some problems. Now we are trying to do everything right and hope to get it running for Linuxday 2009 in Berlin. > Are there available implementations / libraries for these protocols, > maybe open source? Does FlightGear has its own implementation of these? Perhaps you take a look at http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=583. This is the archive for this list and there was a big thread some weeks ago which may give you answers to your questions.
