It's not a matter if it _should_ or not. The relevant details of the
protocol, at least as used by VASTIM, are 'closed',
Security by obscurity, as far as I am reading the forums... stupid.

Indeed, and I find it very annoying. Instead of developing our own ATC
network strategies if would be terribly nice if we could simply jump on
that train - without violating copyrights, NDA's or whatever ....

Hopefully one day we'll provide an open source alternative to that.

Yes, but we should take into account that it takes a while until we
have such a network infrastructure that offers ATC service at almost
every medium large airport areound the clock  ;-)

But if it could be combined with Dave Culp's AI controller then you might have, at least, a 'silicon-based' based controller available on demand and plug-in when the 'carbon-based'
controller was not available. Throw in some tts and speech recognition...

Not a trivial task or something you build over a weekend. Probably a job bigger and more
complex that eclipses all of effort put forth on Flightgear to date.

Any volunteers???    :-)
