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 concieved 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. Dolomynum is Windows-only, but Martin Domig created a platform-independent re-implementation, named QuteScoop. Please visit his page for info.

News

Version 1.2.3 was released on 24th June 2008. This is only a minor update; the most important thing you will notice is the new mouse behavior (move the mouse over a pilot / airport to view routes, left-click for pilot / ATC data, right click for airport data; Shift is not used any more). It also updates data files and adds some more error checks.


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 (or any other FSD network)
- Three-dimensional OpenGL map with accurate geographical and aeronautical information
- Shows clients on a map or in lists, 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
- Able to gather and store structured statistics about ongoing events that can be analyzed later (SkyWard)

 

Help the Dolomynum Project

Create: Dolomynum is open source, so everyone can modify it or create software based on it, within the limits of the GPL license. The VB6 source of the current version is included in the download. Feel free to experiment with it, fix its problems, or add more features. If we show the power of Open Source to online networks, they will likely be more opened in their future software developments.

Update: If data is incorrect or missing (airports not recognized, sector boundaries wrong etc), please study the data files and send me any necessary corrections so I can include it in an update and keep the data centralized. You can use sectorview.exe (in \tools) to view current sectors, and sconv.exe to convert sectors from IvAc / IvAe / ASRC / VRC / Servinfo to Dolomynum format.

Spread: Dolomynum still has a relatively small user base. If you like it and wish that more people knew about it, please recommend it to your online flyer friends. If you are a webmaster of an online flying related website (flightsim news portals, general FS sites, IVAO divisions, VATSIM VACCs), feel free to link to this site (check the Pictures page for banners / icons).
