For example "Half Moon Bay Traffic, > G-FGFS is type Cessna, inbound from the south-west at > 4,000ft, straight in approach runway 30, 4 miles to run". > - The chat repetition bug should now be completely fixed > (though I have only seen it twice, so I can't be 100% certain). > - Going backwards and forwards through the message tree is > now more reliable. > > The patch consists of a number of files (from > http://www.nanjika.co.uk/flightgear/chatmenu.tar.gz): > - multiplayer.nas: a complete replacement for Nasal/multiplayer.nas > - chat-menu.xml: a new dialog to be placed under gui/dialogs > - chat-menu-entries: an XML file defining the various chat > messages, based on CAP-143 (UK standard radio phraseology). > To be placed under ATC/ > > The patch also changes a small number of other files, for > which diffs are included below. > > As Melchior doesn't spend much time using Multiplayer, he has > asked that I post to the list, so someone with more MP > experience can review and commit it to CVS. > > I think this is a big improvement over the current broken > chat implementation and improves the MP experience > significantly.

I've tested this all with Start, and after some changes and bug fixes it is now in cvs-head. Unfortunately, my cvs client has crashed, and I can't backport it to plib until tomorrow.
