[Flightgear-users] Synchronising more than 2 instances of Flightgear
Hi, I have Flightgear simultaneously running on two PCs (both Win32). I use an Ethernet network to connect the PCs, both of which have fixed IP addresses. The master PC has IP address 10.10.10.1 and the slave PC has IP address 10.10.10.2. The master PC sends UDP packets to the slave PC. In the Flightgear command for my master PC I have the following option: --native=socket,out,30,10.10.10.2,5500,udp In the Flightgear command for my slave PC I have the following options: --native=socket,in,30,,5500,udp --fdm=external This all works extremely well. The master is sending UDP packets to the slave (on address 10.10.10.2) and the slave is receiving UDP packets from anywhere. My question is this: How do I synchronise three (or more) instances of Flightgear? The three PCs will have the following addresses: 10.10.10.1 (Master) 10.10.10.2 (First Slave) 10.10.10.3 (Second Slave) I can still make both slaves receive UDP packets from anywhere, but how do I make the master PC transmit UDP packets to multiple slaves? Thanks for any advice, Kevin. ___ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

Hi Kevin, You can use the --native= option multiple times, one per each slave: --native=socket,out,30,10.10.10.2,5500,udp --native=socket,out,30,10.10.10.3,5500,udp Or you can use the --native= option once with the broadcast address. Or (in theory) you can use an address of broadcast and let plib figure out the broadcast address for you. Note that broadcast includes specially interpreted shell characters so you need to either specify this in you .fgfsrc or take special precautions to escape the and characters.

Be cautious here, I've read somewhere that Windows by default doesn't listen to the broadcasts address anymore since a particular version (I don't know which one, but I believe XP).
