[Opengc-devel] OpenGC Port/Network

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

Hi

Thank you Damion, for all the info.

Your explanation was very clear. I'll research the problem further. BTW:
Some older manuals for Borland C++ ( pre 1995) do not call out typename as a
keyword but you would think by now all compilers would include it.

There is a small test program called socktest.tgz  located at
http://vso.cape.com/~nhv. Unfortunately, you have to download most of the
flightgear source and libraries to use it. But it does follow a lot of what
you said regards networks,UDP vs TCP/IP, etc. and the general approach for
connecting via a network. I'll be using  merge the OpenGC code with the
network interface to the flightgear state variables.

Once I get this working, I hope to add it to the FlightGear package and
continue expanding the flight deck. Will need DEPs (data entry panels),
system instrumentation, and a few more flight gauges - HSI, radar altimeter,
maps, whatever.

Again, thank you for the quick response and info.
