I believe the mp 'team' ;) are aware of this problem but it's not 
a trivial one to solve.

It's not impossible, of course, but in addition to everything 
that is currently being passed between mp clients, a widely 
varying range of animation data would also have to be exchanged, 
in a scheme that would also have to cope with multiple instances 
of identical aircraft.

Certainly, having some standardisation in the model and animation 
scheme would help but atm, I don't think that enough people have 
developed enough aircraft to have gathered enough knowledge to 
know what requirements would have to be met in the standards.

Put another way, I don't think we know enough yet, to be able to 
define a standard that would cope with any eventuality.
