Yes, I think a separate black box gateway application to vatsim would be a very plausible way to move forward. You could keep all the NDA/Proprietary stuff in it's own sandbox and separate from FlightGear. That way you don't have to worry about incompatible license issues. Your black box knows how to speak vatsim and flightgear, and flightgear doesn't need to learn how to speak vatsim, which is probably not possible anyway given their licensing restrictions.

Curt.

Hello *,
I am new to the FlightGear developer list and so I know not very much
about former discusions about FlightGear and VATSIM.
I try to build a realtime radio for FlightGear based on VoIP (I have already
an alpha release - I just have to test this software behind NAT). The
next step would be to create a radar screen.
At this point I thaught that it would be nicer to create a VATSIM
gateway but as some developers told me there are problems with NDAs and
the protocol (not open source :-( ).
But what about a "black-box" outside of FlightGear which acts as a
gateway to VATSIM? This program may be not open source but it is quite
not necessary because it can use the flexible protocol architecture of
FlightGear to communicate with VATSIM.
How about this for the FlighGear community? If this is acceptable I
would suggest that I try to contact VATSIM and will hear what they mean
about this.
Regards, Holger
