VATSIM announces VAT-Spy which is a simple application that allows you to view current ATC staffing and traffic levels on VATSIM. It is modeled after ServInfo, a very popular traffic and ATC viewer for multiple online flying networks. ServInfo is a fantastic program that left little room for improvement, but there were one or two areas that I wanted to do differently in VAT-Spy, mainly the map and the CPU usage during data downloads.
VAT-Spy's map looks very similar to ServInfo"s map, but it has a different interface for panning and zooming. You can smoothly pan and zoom the map using the mouse. See the documentation section for details.
As for CPU usage, VAT-Spy differs from ServInfo in that it is a multi-threaded application, which means that it does a lot of its work in the background while the user interface remains responsive. This means that, for example, you can still pan and zoom the map while VAT-Spy is downloading the latest VATSIM data. This also means that VAT-Spy can take advantage of multi-core processors ... one processor core can handle downloading and parsing the data, while the other core can handle drawing the map, etc.
For more information please visit the VAT-Spy homepage.
