Re: [Flightgear-devel] IVAO support?

2003-01-20 Thread Mike Bonar
Major, I believe one of the developers is working/exploring this area.  See 
the IPC Communications thread.  It seems that their protocols are proprietary 
if I understand correctly.  Check out www.vatsim.net as well.

 You can connect as a pilot or air traffic controller, using TCP/IP
 protocols. My problem is that the programs they specify are all
 Window$-based, worse even, one of them is M$ FS.
 
 Has anyone tested this to see what functionality FlightGear is still
 missing to be useful in this scenario? It might be worth negotiating
 with the tech guys at IVAO to see whether a direct network interface
 between IVAO and FG could be implemented, rather than having to go
 through SquawkBox or so.
