Arnt Karlsen: "..in the GNU spirit; Why not simply _use_ IRC for FG MP???
It'll be fast paced etc alright, but it allows e.g. #FG-ATC, #FG-newbies,
#FG-dogfight etc, e.g. on the same ports we use now."
The additional benefit here would be that anyone with access to an MPMap and an
IRC client (even a web-based one like mibbit.com) could log on from any PC,
even a non-FG-capable one, and act as an ad-hoc text-only air traffic
controller. (And I use the word "benefit" somewhat loosely, as it opens up the
possibility for more "abuse of power" of that role by the uninformed and
unprofessional, as we occasionally encounter now.)
The question that immediately brings to mind is: how would range-testing be
incorprorated into that? Or would it be abandoned? Or would the interface
need to be driven similarly to FGCom, where "virtual" channels get opened and
joined in some dynamic fashion?
