Carly Hoover developed core networking and data synchronization features for the oss-slu/PilotDataSynchronization repository, focusing on reliable client-server communication and real-time telemetry integration. She implemented a TCP client-server framework in C++ and Rust, enabling asynchronous data transmission between an X-Plane plugin and external endpoints. Her work included cross-platform build system management with CMake, robust logging, and a Google Test-based testing framework to ensure code quality. Carly also delivered a user-facing connection status indicator in the UI, improving operational transparency. The engineering approach emphasized maintainability, testability, and cross-environment reliability, resulting in a stable foundation for future flight simulation integrations.

April 2025 (2025-04) monthly summary for oss-slu/PilotDataSynchronization: Key feature delivered a Connection Status Indicator that provides user-facing visibility into the client-server connectivity. The implementation includes a new disconnected state variant in the connectivity enum, updates to the connectivity state structure to store connection information, and a UI button to trigger a status check. This enables real-time status reflection in the UI and faster issue diagnosis. No major bugs were reported or fixed this month. Overall impact includes improved reliability perception, reduced troubleshooting time, and clearer operational status for end users. Technologies and skills demonstrated include state modeling with enums, UI integration for connectivity checks, and maintainable changes to support monitoring hooks.

In March 2025, delivered foundational Rust-based client-server networking for PilotDataSynchronization, establishing a reliable TCP messaging path with an echo workflow. Implemented a channel-based connect workflow and refactored the channel module to support the networking layer, laying groundwork for real-time data synchronization and scalable future features. The work is anchored by commits 517f02c3a4b24b291b797a98f17dadb5059e4e81 (client server rust), 0e2e71a7834d2b1cc108515f783f9397633c046c (Connection message sent), and b930dfd13de10494eca7f540e4265eef23309608c (format changes). This establishes a robust, maintainable foundation with immediate business value: enabling low-latency messaging and a modular networking stack for PilotDataSynchronization.
