A new [[TCAS]] instrument is available in the latest GIT version of FlightGear. | |||
The TCAS works with AI and multiplayer aircraft, provides aural warnings for conflicting traffic and is also capable of driving a realistic traffic display. AI aircraft also respond to TCAS alerts and take evasive action - meaning you can trigger some basic interaction with AI aircraft. | |||

Chris (papillon81) took care of the Concorde's TCAS and converted it to the new generic system by ThorstenB. The old Concorde-specific one was implemented using NASAL and xml and he got rid of about 1800 LOC in the process. He also created a new glass instrument (the only one in the Concorde's cockpit), modeled according to some web sources. The new system works with both AI and multiplayer traffic. | Chris (papillon81) took care of the Concorde's [[TCAS]] and converted it to the new generic system by ThorstenB.
