=== New ATC-pie release and OpenRadar interoperability ===
[[File:ATC-pie-logo.png|96x96px|left]] ''"[http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=25573#p234276 the fully multiplayer environment a controller deserves]"''
Announced as beta in January and released as stable early February, ATC-pie has happily served a few ATC sessions in its first month of existance. In particular, it seems to have found comfortable homes for adoption in EKCH and LFOK already. Meanwhile, progress was made on its development to reach the important milestone of general and continuous ATC coordination on Flightgear with the '''handover feature''', released this month.
Beginning to populate the network with a new program without dividing the MP network (esp. controllers) was challenge as interesting as necessary. Collaborative work made this possible, enabling both OpenRadar and ATC-pie users to exchange strips in a transparent way, regardless of their software preference.
