Requirements

This section describes requirements to the FlightGear multiplayer protocol.

Architecture

  • Architecture to strive to support DIS/HLA (#1859058)
  • generic, data/purpose-agnostic server architecture that allows for arbitrary hash/value pairs to be published/subscribed to, so that a server's purpose would be only determined by the sort of data (properties) it is used to maintain/propagate(#1905987)

Protocol features

High Priority

  • Protocol to publish own data, and subscribe to data from others, while multiplayer server acting as a data dispatcher (#1847251, #1905987)
  • Protocol to publish multiple aircrafts from one client (#1849308)
  • Protocol to use selective data propagation mechanism (#1904577)

Medium Priority

  • Protocol to support multi-crew and non aircraft-class vehicles (#1883587)
  • Clients to set TOS (SO_PRIORITY) in IP packets (#1904264)
  • Clients to display a default model of a given category (light single engine, light twin engine, light helicopter, light twin jet, spacecraft) when missing exact aircraft model (#1866514)

Low Priority

  • Protocol to allow datalink communication; clients (aircraft, ATC) should be queryable via network (#1849311)
  • Protocol to have simple configuration (#1899371)

Global state

  • Server to support separate "worlds" to ensure that certain users only get to see certain users (#1866508)
  • Server to maintain a global status for each world (#1866504, #1849311)
    • date/time
    • weather
    • positions of automatic (random, AI) objects
    • runway status

Data filtering

  • Support use of Kalman filters for multiplayer data (#1867389)
  • Validate plausibilty of distributed flight data (#1866527)
