Honestly, I'm really curious to know what the _real_ driving force is behind this protectionism. Is this stupid arrogance ("if they want to participate, they'll have to follow our rules - not matter if it makes sense"), simply incompetence ("one of these bad guys out there might compromise our servers if the protocol gets published") or do they really have to fear something if some third party implements their protocol ? Anyway, if they don't want FlightGear users to participate .... does anyone have an idea if the "FlightProject" network still is supported by an active community ? http://www.flightproject.net/ Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
