Indeed, the idea of cutting FlightGear into modules is not a new one
and has been floating around way before this nice "new arcitecture"
paper came up that everybody takes as a reference.
Using some sort of networked database is a nice start and definitely
honours the idea of portability - yet I don't see such thing that is
capable of handling data at a rate that meets the requirements of
FlightGear. OpenLDAP as well as MySQL are very bad at handling a high
rate of concurrent read/write requests - they miss the target by a huge
distance, they both are faaar to complex (even MySQL :-) for such a
task.
Personally I think some thing like distributed shared memory might fill
the gap. I've been doing some literature research on this topic several
years ago, the idea looks pretty promising and different OpenSource
implementations already have been around by that time - but I would not
like to be the one to debug such a tricky beast .... :-)
Cheers,
Martin.
