Open Source online network status checker
Dolomynum has released a new open source application for online simmers to check the status of networks:
Dolomynum (also known as DLMN or Don’t Lose My Number) is an independent and lightweight tool that runs locally on your PC and shows the status (members online as controllers, pilots and observers) of FSD-based online flying networks such as IVAO and VATSIM (similar to the Servinfo or WhazzUp softwares). Features are mainly limited for showing online status - so don’t expect functions like route planning, textures, weather and so on. It is a network traffic viewer, not an all-in-one virtual aviation tool.
Originally conceived in December 2006, it went into a public beta in April 2007, and gone gold in October 2007. It is open source software distributed under the GPL. Currently it works only on Windows; but soon will likely be ported to other systems.
Main features of Dolomynum
- First open-source software showing the status of FSD networks, approved for online usage
- Faster and more stable than any popular comparable software
- Able to show data from both IVAO and VATSIM, and even combine them into one map
- Three-dimensional OpenGL map with accurate coastlines, country borders and sector boundaries, and editable colour schemes
- Able to show clients on the map or in a list, client information in popup windows, and airport traffic in lists
- Flexible interpretation of callsigns, expandable and modular databases
- Always-on-top console able to display various kind of important information by interpreting text commands
- Includes tools that can view and convert sector data, edit colour schemes, or change settings
