It currently allows an aircraft to "LOGON" to a ATC service, request departure clearance, request gate info, send position reports and fuel reports back to a central service. It's based on a simplified FANS/ATN message set. It already knows how to parse the apt.dat file so could easily provide that data over the same mechanism. The server side also listens to MPchat and knows where ATC users are located. I've had a read up on the OpenRadar project just yesterday and I can see how I can get rid of some functions because they are better done in OpenRadar, but I can also see how my code could become a general data service.
