Imrpovements for the game

[run05]

Hello everybody,
I play this game sometimes since 1 year. I really like this game but I
will know if we can give routes with 2 or 3 waypoints to the
airplanes. Or give a radial to a VOR station. If it doesn't exist, it
is possible to modify the game ?
Thank you, run05.

Well, giving a radial to VOR might be pretty tricky. What should the
approach controller expect from the pilot as a response? Continuing in
the current heading unless it interrupts the radial? Or flying towards
VOR and _then_ from it on the radial? Or some random curve to get to
the radial? Such a command would allow multiple correct pathways which
is not a good idea for ATC purposes.

However I agree that having a stack of commands for a single aircraft
would be useful. The syntax might be like

ANYID C BEACON1 THEN C 6 AND C BEACON2 THEN C 4 AND C 270

(fly towards BEACON1, then - when reached - climb/descend to 6000 ft
and fly towards BEACON@, then - when reached - descend to 4000 ft and
set heading 270°)

Note the difference:
C 6 AND C BEACON
versus
C 6 THEN C BEACON

The later form turns to the BEACON after the required flight level
6000 ft is reached. The first form starts changing the flight level
and the heading at the same moment.

Hello,

Where are these mods being tracked? Where can someone see the
progress?

Thanks,

Or instead of all that memorization, why not a simple '+' to group
waypoints together? i.e JBU207 C CRI + TEB + LGA

In this case the aircraft would fly a pattern/traffic flow from CRI to
TEB then to LGA and old at lag if no other commands were given.

This is the only improvement i can think of other than better/ more
precise positioning of the nav aids in the game.

Any chance of adding voice commands and feedback?

I'd also like to see the ability to give a heading and altitude
command at the same time instead of two different commands
