CH (Claude Hanssens) Client and Server. Based on a excisting TCP/IP connection it provides you with a great set of tools. You can connect 2-30+ PC's and simulate the ATC (with true Radar screens ) on the server side and the planes on the client side. Perfectly suited for flight clubs and events.

The CH Client part will take information from FS98 and send it to the CH Server part over the TCP/IP network. The CH Server will display the information coming from the FS98 via the CH Client part. This information will be displayed in a tabular format on a special form. An other form will show the aircraft on a radar screen. This radar screen will also display other information like beacons (VOR, NDB, ...) , geographical data and airports. This information is taken from a MS Access database. The CH Server part has also the capacity to generate "Devil orders". These are commands sent to the planes: the CH Server can modify almost every thing in FS98: weather conditions, position, aircraft control,… It is possible to connect together many CH Client (aircraft) and many CH Server (radar screens). CH Programs has the possibility to send text messages between FS98 and CH Servers. CH Data Manager allows the user to add, edit or delete data from the CH database.

If you have two or more PC's connected your may first download the documentation (458Kb) and if you are still interested you may download the client file (2469Kb) , the server files 1 (2696Kb) and 2 (2221Kb) and the data file (3595Kb). Information on the CH-site. Please inform me if these files are not available anymore.
