The SquawkGear files are ready for use !
SquawkGear ("SquawkBox for FlightGear") is a program that lets you fly your FG sim on the VATSIM network. Current features include:
- human ATC via text and voice
- private messages with ATC and other aircraft
- you can visualise other VATSIM aircraft out your windshield
Runways and taxiways appear well aligned between VATSIM (MSFS scenery) and FlightGear in my tests.
Outstanding issues:
- you will appear as a B747-400 to the controller and other pilots. I'm working on a fix so that you can specify your aircraft type and capabilities
- VATSIM weather is not injected into FG. But if you use FG's live metar updates, this is usually quite close to VATSIM weather.
