I have successfully integrated the VIP3 model set with SquawkBox 3, so accurate representation of the planes in your vacinity is working.

In related news, I have uncovered a way to control lights, gear and control surfaces on remote aircraft. This means that it is now theoretically possible to accurately see the state of those things on planes. The lights will enhance the realism of night flying and the gear will prevent you from seeing a plane taxi while it hovers several feet off the ground.

I am awaiting delivery of the CSL model set plugin, which will allow more detailed testing of a heterogeneous model set plugin environment.
