Free Simulated Radar Client / News: Recent posts

Major feature added:
* Map is displayed (no airways, SIDs, STARs or IAPs yet)
* Added data/test.sct with lots of VORs, NDBs, etc.

Minor enhancements (thanks to escravana):
* Different aircraft symbols displayer in DSR-mode (not visible in demo ... coming soon)
* Echo-class supports coasting via squawk-mode

I would like to announce that Nelson Escravana (escravana) has joined the project. He is already coding stuff that will make the aircraft appear on the radar screen in different radar modes.
Anybody who is interested on using VATSIM (or IVAO) on Linux (or other systems) is welcome to contribute.

FreeSimRC now comes with "TowerView", a 3D "tower-simulator" which provides a 360 view from the tower. Aircraft on VATSIM are rendered in 3D (only B737-600, no textures yet). Satellite imagery can be used as ground texture (example included: EDDT - Tegel Airport, Berlin).
See "towerview.readme" for details.

Major feature added:
* Added VSCS panel (panel with used frequencies, activate with TAB)
* Most (non-voice) buttons working on A/G VSCS
* Selected frequencies displayed above command line
* Messages are displayed for frequencies which are set to receive
* Fixed a bug in the *.bat scripts (passing wrong parameter)

Some small features added:
* Added removing of old tracks via net.sf.freesimrc.AircraftManagerUpdater
* Added message panel which shows incoming radio traffic

Some small features added including:
* Aircraft vector lines
* Some buttons in "DC" menu actually work

See README for further details

FreeSimRC is a framework intending to provide a good base for radar clients for virtual air traffic control networks (like VATSIM or IVAO).
This release contains 2 little demo applications (a radar client and a flight strip display) which work with VATSIM only.
Both can be run offline with log files provided in the release.

Completed fist import into CVS, nothing spectacular, but something to work with.
Includes 2 little demo applications, which work online or with log-files.
