Eurocontrol demanding the removal of 3rd party validation gateways?

This one worked for at least 10 years

The one they want to be used uses Flash and in general the idea in the past was to block “unauthorised” route development tools.

No, it doesn’t.

I wonder why Firefox asks whether to authorise flash to run on the popup which you get when you click on the validation link?

At one point, c. 2009, when Eurocontrol was doing all they could to block route development tools (Autoplan was the first one; I was a beta tester on it, and it really was great) they made their validation gateway a Flash “movie” which was obviously pretty difficult to machine-interface to.

Later they did allow route development tools but only via a B2B interface. That is what FlightPlanPro (what later became RocketRoute) and all other later tools use.

Are we talking about the same thing? Other features on that page use Flash, but not IFPS test validation.

I am now using the Structured Editor in Chrome and that works ok. And since Chrome doesn’t do Flash?

More interesting is what game is Eurocontrol playing?
