If you view another players/pilot's plane, you only see the cockpit panels and perhasp part of the tail or insignia. This is because the property list isn't send over the network.

Also can we add a "ping" function to flightgear which requests the server to send a packet back to the user's client. This will make is easier to debug people's MP setup. The MP server will not send the player's packets back to itself, fair enough decision except if there is only one player connected. > > (C) which features need to be completed? > > replacing the non-GPL-compatible sun/moon stuff > Using an alternative GUI theme by default would IMHO be a good idea. > Doesn't have to be mine, of course.
