Update on VATSIM work

I realize I haven't posted on this blog in many months, but I thought I'd do a short update just to talk about the things I've been working on.

Most of my work recently has gone into the VATSIM FSD. None of the changes have been earth-shattering, but they have involved things like updating the FSD to work with sqlite3, changing its build system to Cmake and improving its method of locating its configuration files. None of those changes will be noticed by VATSIM users, but they make life easier for those of us who work on the code and support the servers.

For those of you waiting with bated breath on the upper-layer wind improvements I've been working on, the bad news is it's still not finished. The good news is I've started working on it again. I'm currently in the process of changing the backend database from MySQL to Postgres. Once that's complete, I'll be able to go back to finishing up the wind management code.
