The messages from half a world away can AFAICS only be due to a breakdown of the distance check in fgms - otherwise they'd never reach your FlightGear instance. However, such a breakage could be due to a bug in fgms (e.g. in the decoding of the position) or due to the sending FlightGear instance sending bogus data. I have also seen these far away messages but have assumed that I got them due to the sender having NaN in his position (i.e. the sender's FG crashed but managed to fire off a last packet with messed up position data). I have no real evidence that that really is the case, though. Running with FPE traps enabled or instrumenting the code in multiplayer.nas might give some more information. > Log on messages are also a bit on the fritz : you can see this happens with > individuals log-on messages being spoken by other nics : afaik, only someguy > uses Phhhhhhfffftt but I saw among others, syd sign on with that message ;) Log on messages are just like any MP chat message. I recall having seen occasional misattributed MP chat messages for a long time, so I don't think that is a new problem. (Typically I'd react to mpdummy saying things (though in some cases that could be a callsign clash). As for the problem of the late initialization of the valid property (compared to the model-added property): How about the listener just setting an update flag which cause the pilot dialog to regenerate the pilot list the next time it runs? That way the arrival of a new user will appear atomic to the dialog update code (since it is only the listener that is run from inside the C++ setValue() call).
