I haven't seen this bug (yet), so the following is to some extent guesswork based on the information above. The MP chat system keeps a hash of all the incoming messages keyed against the callsign of the user. This is the only way I could think of to keep a track of the various messages to avoid repeating them. My suspicion is that there are multiple MP aircraft with the same callsign in the session. My there should be multiple mpdummy aircraft I am not sure, but it is obviously a situation that is going to become more common as FG MP becomes more popular, so the chat sub-system will have to deal with it. As a first attempt to fix this, I've uploaded a new version of multiplayer.nas which ignores duplicate callsigns (and also uses "var" properly) to http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/multiplayer.nas I think this will solve the problem. If you could try it and report back, that would be great. -Stuart ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Answers - Got a question? Someone out there knows the answer.
