Hi, I've tested this patch on Mac OS X. The result looks OK to me. By OK, I mean there seems no negative impact by this patch. About positive impact, I haven't got any since there were only 5 aircraft around KSFO while I was testing this, so I had no difference between original and patched version yet.
However, it is good since it works the same as original one. I'll do further test on this with more than 10 pilots on the server, and give you feed back.
