These are the sorts of things you might want/need if you are not connected to a MMP server ... as I understand it, the current focus of everything in the src/ATC/ directory is a stand alone fictitious environment not connected to any MP server. > Similarly, if a client is acting as a adjunct to a server, it will > need a scenario loaded from the command line, or provided by the > server to control its spawning and behavior of AI planes.

But my preference would be to control all the AI traffic in the server and not burden the core FlightGear code with it. Note that unless you are < 100' away from an airplane, there is no way you are going to be able to tell if it's running real flight dynamics, or some ultra-simple non-physics based engine that just moves the airplane along some predetermined route. 99.9999% of the time in civilian aviation, you should never get that close to an airplane.
