I never even thought about TTS. Although with the speed of development, do them both because the text would be faster to implement and give way to the TTS when it's polished? I'm thinking standalone apps including the ATC radar so you could man a control position and also fly. Unless it is very busy, controlling can be boring. I'm careful not to suggest stuff unless I could help with it but I'm really excited about the progress being made in the area of ATC recently. As a plus to the developers, good ATC apps will increase casual pilot usage and give you a base to see your work in action like never before. The last ATC discussion we had drew the interest of Virtual Airline enthusiasts on the user list.
