Eric, I'd be interested to know if things like the telnet interface (and other network interfaces) get closed and reopened correctly. This sounds like a kind of drastic thing to do ... to reset the entire network subsystem, but maybe it will be ok. Does it only reset when you explicitly ask for a Network subsystem reset, or does this also get reset whenever you reposition the aircraft or select reset from the file menu. That could actually be a problem for situations where a person is running a hybrid of systems talking to each other, or multiple copies of flightgear and connections are broken and have to be re-established. This one sounds drastic enough that it might come back and bite us in a variety of ways for certain uses of the software.

The FGIO class has always been derived from the subsystem class but it was controlled explicitly. I' ve added a reinit stub for most classes since it wasn't present and isn't added to other classes than the generic protocol handler. So the reset should have no result for other classes. The only thing the generic protocol do is read the configuration file and setup the internals so they get used on the next update call, no sockets activity there.

I think reinit also runs when FlightGear gets reset, but like I said, only the generic protocol implements reinit. This one sounds drastic enough that it might come back and bite us in a variety of ways for certain uses of the software. I think it's less drastic than it sounds and don' t expect any problems (unless I've overlooked something). Erik -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Reloading a protocol file
Sounds good, I had envisioned that all the network and IO interfaces were being closed and deleted and reopened, but if that's not happening with this change then I think we are fine. Thanks, Curt.
