... like all the chat data, which is currently included in every packet :(
Part of the problem of course is that with UDP we can't rely on the
receiver having received the previous message.
I guess one option might be to distinguish between "core" data (position,
attitude, speed etc) which we want to be accurate, and "nice to have" data
which is not so time- or function- critical (chat text).
This latter data could be transmitted when it changes, and every (say) 5
seconds. We could then use a more flexible message format - for example
one which encodes the property name and value. The properties to be
exported in this way could then be indicated by an XML attribute.
For something like livery names, the end-user is not really going to
notice if the data is only updated irregularly, while it should stop the
average message size from increasing too much.
