I don't think we actually have a transponder, but that's also the function that could easily stay with X-Plane for the time being since it's not very often you play around with it during flight. PTT is probably something FlightGear doesn't have, so maybe this is a good time to add it to the property tree, so that whoever needs it can wire joystick buttons and instrument functions to it. It's probably a good idea to add more than one PTT -- how many are there in a real aircraft? (I'm thinking of the old days -- the crew of a 707 was something like 5 people, did they all have PTTs?) > FG has a real-time weather fetch capability from metar stations. Are > you aware of that?

I can give it a try once I've fixed my Linux machine at home so it will run X-Plane at all... I just need to know how to handle the network in a portable manner -- any ideas? I don't think X-Plane has a network layer that can be accessed from the plugins, but I'll check again just in case.
