I'm just getting back into rooting around in the code and I don't yet have a solid grasp on all the parts. AFAIK, the only native support for an external module is OpenGC from what I've seen so far. I was referring the creation of a universal method of obtaining data from the sim via

If C++ doesn't scare you, you have no business using it. Sorry, but that was just too open. I had to take the shot. But seriously, there's more truth in that statement than a sarcastic retort like it deserves. The time to run screaming from a project is the moment the architect declares

If you start a project and need OO features, either do it properly (in Python or Objective-C), or do it the hard way with GLib/GObject. Naw, Object Pascal is my first love. :) I'd better shut up on the mailing list of a giant project written in C++... I still admire you folks for getting it

I would propose that the server be structured so that a purely civilian/non-combat version could be run. I don't want it to be possible for some idiot to come and blow me out of the sky when I'm practicing ILS approaches in my C172 at my local airport. I guess there ought to be an explicit
