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. LeeE Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
