> does this mean I'm off the hook ? This one looks MUCH nicer :) I know very little about FlightGear's ATC aircraft, even less do I know about how to use it. Note that this so-called "OpenRADAR" (we called it this way because we were short of better ideas for a nice name :-) takes a totally different approach and therefore is probably not a 'competition' to FlightGear's ATC aircraft. OpenRADAR does not depend on the huge infrastructure which is required to run FlightGear but, on the other hand, it also doesn't serve any of the features which are unique to FlightGear, like this live chatting stuff for example Instead, OpenRADAR is really meant to be a pure RADAR console for whichever simulation or real-life datagram protocol you'd like to write a parser frontend (just think of a FLARM reciever, for example, or maybe even EUROCONTROL's ASTERIX). Nothing less, but also nothing more. Thus, in order to be used with FlightGear or any other simulation, it's best complemented by a reasonable voice-communication tool, like FGCOM - or a real radio :-) In addition to that, OpenRADAR is also different from FlightGear's ATC aircraft in that it requires you to 'configure' every sector you'd like to monitor.
