9 months ago I really dislike the idea to duplicate the radio models in lua space. Maybe there is an option to reuse the c++ models (can lua use c libs? Or maybe a custom binary like the test tool that the bot can optionally query?)
edit: looks like it can:
- https://www.lua.org/pil/26.2.html
- and
os.execute - or if supported http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-io.popen
Currently the replay bot just sends data and leaves it to the server to sort that out.
[ ] However, we might pause actual sending data when no valid fgcom-mumble clients are connected, which will save some bandwith.
[ ] Also it might be desirable to just send when potential clients are in range, based on rough frequency range (uhf/vhf/hf).
This should of course be optional and controllable by appropriate switches.
