connect to the NET and I still want to have the default behaviour
NO networking without explicit authorization !
Of course this doen't really matter to you or myself in that
we can compile in or own defaults, I am thinking of the
naive user who thinks that they have caught a virus because
their fire wall alarm starts ringing as soon as FGFS is fired up :-)
Yes, it would be nice to make it configuration item that decides
whether it is fired up, together with a menu item that manually starts it.
As I see it, the most important thing is to have terrasync somehow
detect that FGFS has finished execution and exit cleanly after the
current rsync batch is completed. It also needs to check for other
terrasync sessions when started and play nice with them somehow.
This could, for example, really shrink the base package. The scenery
only contains the actual airports in the bay area, and the textures
are only those needed to render the airport tiles. If we get our
materials colors reasonable, the loader can pick up scenery files
for a given tile and then collect any necessary textures afterwards.
