Yes, version 0.0.6 knows about player positions and only sends data to clients which are in range. The range is configured on the server side. Currently it is defined per default to 100nm. Version 0.0.6 also supports server to server communication, so multiple servers build one consistant virtual world. regards, Oliver _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
