FlightGear Candidate Projects

TODO: put here suitable ideas for projects

FlightGear Multiplayer Server

• reduce bandwidth used by not relaying information to server "N" about aircraft that are not visible to any fliers on server "N"

FlightGear Launch Control (fgrun)

• offer (via checkbox option) automatic selection of nearest MP server based on geographic location (by IP address), lowest lag (ping time) or server bandwidth usage

• place commonly used (or as added by user) command line options as individual items in a listbox with a checkbox or radio button for each such that they can be easily found and turned on/off individually and their values easily changed.

FlightGear YASim

• improve interaction of aircraft with the ground. Helicopters tend to rotate (rotor torque?) and/or slide around when on the ground.
