Hi John, A while ago I proposed (and been working on conceptial designs) for a scenario and multiplayer server (called Cumulas).
Between my hectic work schedules (I am a Full Flight Simulator Software Engineer by trade) I have been putting together some basic design foundations, maybe we could lias and work together on the project to speed it along ?
