Simplifying Aircraft Deployment: Difference between revisions

Updating an aircraft involves checks if the aircraft is installed and then comparing the installed version with the latest version on a server. if the versions are the same, alert the user that the versions are the same and no update will occur.

''Note:'' While explicit versioning (in XML files) may be one way to tackle the compatibility issue, another one might be to to read in both *-set.xml files and directly compare the resulting SGPropertyNode* structure, this could tell if the XML contents are identical. To do the same for resources included via XML files (i.e. textures, sounds, 3D models etc), one could calculate a simple CRC of each included file.
