[Flightgear-devel] Multi-window display

[John W. <ca...@mm...>]

Has anyone ever tried the multi-window display option? If so has it worked?

Right now the data is coming across from the client to the server via the
sockets. Both
a small test program I wrote and the one provided by Norm confirms that the
fdm state
vector is available at the server socket and matches what the client sent.
However the
server screen initializes (just sky with no tile) and that's it....

Client -> fgfs --native=socket,out,30,192.168.2.255,udp (this is the
broadcast address, any machine
on tht 192.168.2.xxx network can see the datagram. I've also tried setting a
specific address and the result
is the same)

Server -> fgfs --native=socket,in,30,,udp --disable-panel --fdm=external

I notice that the writeup in the installation guide states:

 -protocol= medium,direction,hz,medium_options,...: I/O options, useful for
running FlightGear over a network or in interaction with external programs
(preliminary).

Can I (should I) assume that this function may not be fully debugged and
operational?
