The project modules specifications

 

 

In order to begin to develop the project more, a good understanding is necessary.Due to the assigned areas of discussion, a selection can be done by on groups. The Flight Gear Data Server is so the most important part of the parameter values handling. Since this module is supposed to run on local networks, it doesn't  matter where exactly it has been started.

The important fact is that the user must provide the correct IP address of the Flight Gear Simulator in the local network. Otherwise no connection can be made from the module. Another thing which must be closely traced is about the delays that crop up due to the network environment and more important to the slowness of the TELNET conection handle procedures. For this it must be outlined the specific item within the section of the further improvements proposals.

The connection between the Data server and the Simulator is wanted to be very stable since any flaw on the receiving or sending packages through the network can lead to some malfunctions or wrong ways of running. However several kind of Java exceptions that can be throwed have been treated through the program  sources. From this point of view it can be said that all the software programs on the project are err tolerable.

The project sources are fully oriented so as to take the advantage of being developed under a Java platform. All the network connections are based on low level comunication methods that can be found on the initial Java class java.io.* There is about a few kinds of network socket procedures to be used.
