Hey all, Sorry for coming in late on this, but I can clear a few things up.

Yep, this is simply an artifact of the "rate" of the multiplayer tx. Receive multiplayer packet, update multiplayer position. There is no extrapolation or prediction. If you have a good spec machine, try increasing your rates until the movement of the other aircraft looks smooth. I've run rates of 25+ on our 2GHz/GF4 test rigs for very smooth movement. > The other interesting thing is positions of flaps, speed of the prop etc, > are not transmitted.

The multiplayer packet contains only aircraft position data (in the form of a model transformation matrix), the model type and some space for "chat" strings. No animation state/control surface information was included. This is probably a good spot for someone to continue our work if interested. I'm happy to explain our code and ideas to anyone interested. We basically did the minimum multiplayer coding required to prove our Tower Visual Simulator concept. Shame it went nowhere and we got moved onto other projects... Cheers all.
