It's probably not as much work as it seems, because the only parts that need to be changed are the texture files, and the references to the texture files. Currently the "interested enough to code it" level probably isn't high enough (including for myself), but I can see a need for multiple livery support coming in the forseeable future. David Luff, David Culp, Erik Hofman, and me have been discussing some issues related to AI traffic offlist. Yesterday I managed to impliment a first rough prototype top level flightplan manager, which listst the current status of any aircraft listed in the database, as either enroute between AAAA and BBBB, or parked at airport AAAA. I'm using data from projectai (http://www.projectai.com) to test the algorithms, but we could also throw in our own data. I'm still a long way away from a fully implimented AI manager, but it was quite satsisfying to see that I got this part already working within a day of coding.
I'll try and write some more about AI traffic, in a dedicated thread, Cheers, Durk _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
