Dear ATCs,
I have updated the download section at sourceforge. There is only one version, the latest one.
If you use OR already, simply download the JAR and replace your existing file after renaming the old one...
If you are new, please read all the documentation we have here: http://wiki.flightgear.org/OpenRadarDownload
Many things have been changed behind the curtain to bring OR back to work: Most significant:
* OR supports the old AND the new MP protocol at the same time. As long as we still have old clients or clients running "visible to all" I leave the old protocol active. OR sees both types of clients and can chat to both at the same time. Please remember, you clients can only chat with clients using the same protocol.
* OR support the new reception range feature that has been added to the MP protocol. If you zoom out, you will see clients from further away, max 2000NM radius, as defined by the MP protocol. You receive also their chat messages, so OR has its Chat Filter for range RNG back and enabled by default. To avoid, that your flightstripbay does not flow over, you can define your working range on the lower right of your radar screen. This setting filters the contacts in flightstrip and the visible chat message in RNG filter mode (right side, above Chat panel).
IMPORTANT: Your clients can receive your chat messages only, if YOU ARE IN THEIR reception radius. The FGFS clients will use the default 100NM radius. So they will not read your chat messages >100NM radius. Use FGCOM or mumble...

I have also updated data files like the SID/STAR routes taken from repository. Thank you for your patience! Happy Easter!
