The "remote" FDM is already a possibility and there is an example of a remote joystick but how easy would it be to break up the rest of flightgear?"[http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09046.html] | * "[...]I think a more flexible approach may be "self-contained" modules communicating by passing "properties" over TCP.

* "If one of the computers taking part in the multiplayer network has generated a bunch of AI aircraft, will they all be propagated to the rest of the multiplayer members ? If so, you might be able to dodge the processor load of full aircraft simulations, by having two computers with one having the human and a graphics display and the other having all the AI and no graphics display. Just a thought.
