Hello everyone! I'm new to this list, but due to my work I am going to have a lot to do with FlightGear and will hopefully be able to contribute a little to the development too.
I have found an issue with the udp-communication between 32bit and 64bit systems. To reproduce try using the --native-ctrls option for communication between the different architectures. As you will see it is not working as the udp-packets received have a different size than expected. The underlying reason is that class-objects are stored differently on both machines even though all variables are strictly the same size, e.g. 32bit ints and 64bit doubles. Key to solving this is the class FGNetCtrls in net_ctrls.hxx. What I did is declare all variables of the class in such an order, that they can fit the same way in 32bit as well as in 64bit chunks. This is probably not the most elegant solution, so I hope you cann suggest a better one. Curiously, --native-fdm works without a problem, as its variables are by accident(?) already declared in a right order.
