Eric,
I'd be interested to know if things like the telnet interface (and other
network interfaces) get closed and reopened correctly. This sounds like a
kind of drastic thing to do ... to reset the entire network subsystem, but
maybe it will be ok.
Does it only reset when you explicitly ask for a Network subsystem reset, or
does this also get reset whenever you reposition the aircraft or select
"reset" from the file menu. That could actually be a problem for situations
where a person is running a hybrid of systems talking to each other, or
multiple copies of flightgear and connections are broken and have to be
re-established.
This one sounds drastic enough that it might come back and bite us in a
variety of ways for certain uses of the software.
Thanks,
Curt.
