Controller-pilot data link communication (CPDLC) is a direct connection between ATC and aircraft through which pilots and controllers can communicate based on text, thereby relieving radio traffic. Its use is increasing everywhere in real life, and an extension to FlightGear is currently under development to support it in the multi-player environment.
Status in FlightGear multi-player
Recent efforts have already taken place towards implementing it in MP:
- the Virtual FSWeekend Hackathon 2020 attracted a team to work on the CPDLC proposal;
- a merge request is pending to augment the MP system with CPDLC;
- a generic CPDLC dialog add-on is available (see screenshot);
- work is currently in progress on at least one cockpit CPDLC panel;
- ATC client ATC-pie is fully operational, ready to service its first logons to come.
