when we are conected to online vatsim or ivao. fsinn or squakbox create a local multiplayer session to mimic local traffic.

fsnavigator and the tcas can retrieve data from the local traffic and represent it in the nav display.

it's a more reliable and trustworthy data, because it does not depend on 60s updates from whazzup.txt

the local session is localhost:23432

ps:the plugin to make it work, seems to be AIBridge by Jose Oliveira, a free plugin from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html

Unfortunately this wouldn't work as is today since the AI traffic is downloaded from the Internet and not from the plugin.

So it is only updated every 60-120 seconds from whazzup. The way forward would be to get a live feed of traffic to our server and then distribute it from there to all AirTrack instances that wish to receive it. You could then see the little planes on the MFD moving around you, or even track one of them.

Something for the future perhaps ...
