your concerns are definitely not misplaced and your feedback it is most
welcome.
Those ideas for multiplayer enhancements are at a very early stage and for
sure not everything has been thought of, discussed - let alone decided.
Our multiplayer protocol has a lot of room for being more "energy
efficient" and we should be able to push more information around without
increasing bandwith. Wx data
 does not change often and if AI information can be reduced to some
waypoint information ("proceed direct FOBAR") it /might/ work.

One thing can be said for sure. There will be a requirement updating the
fgms installation at some point in the future. Improvements in the protocol
are long overdue.


Kind Regards,
Torsten
