Hi Martin,

Hmmmmm, quite, quite interesting ;=))

After setting up openjdk-6-jre, and Eclipse, found 
one small fix needed to avoid multiple mp server 
packet rejection - in -

de.knewcleus.fgfs/src/de/knewcleus/fgfs/multiplayer/
protocol/MultiplayerPacket.java

-   public static final int MAX_PACKET_SIZE=1024;
+   public static final int MAX_PACKET_SIZE=1200; // FIX20111226

This is the current max. size from a recent -
<FG>/src/MultiPlayer/multiplaymgr.cxx

With this fix it seemed to handle well the mpserver 
link, packet exchange, etc, and graphically added current 
aircraft, showing callsign and a nice predicted forward 
track...

And I was able to create for myself another new 
sector.xml from the samples given, for an airport 
of my choice, thanks to mapserver shapefile 
downloads, etc... which all seemed to work well ;=))

BUT I could NOT seem to get the comms (fgcom?) 
working... any ideas, pointers...

It has a small 'FGCOMM console' window accepting an 
active and standby frequency, but this does not 
seem to do anything... it seems nothing is done with 
the entered 'active' frequency...

>From our newsletter I can see OpenRadar is in need of 
a new 'maintainer'... and I can see the source is 
littered with at least 16 'TODO' comments... 

And at first glance, the FGCOMM code seems far 
too minimal, but there are no 'TODO' in this area... but 
I can not find any code to make it work... 

Has anybody ever had this OpenRadar comms code working?

Tried -
http://wiki.flightgear.org/OpenRadar - stunningly brief ;=((

http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10221 
seems more interested in using Atlas as the base...

http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Stand_Alone_ATC_Control_Development
likewise seems to again favor Atlas...

But are there other places where I can read more specifically 
about this java OpenRadar setup, running, operations? 

Or is it ALL only in the actual java code? It does 
not seem to have any 'README' files, just some 215 java 
sources...

Regards,
Geoff.
