I'm I'm having a problem tracking down in aiPlane where everything happens so I can hook in and have my script engine drive the plane... want to work together to do a new version of aiPlane that will hook in with aiScript ?? For aiPlane, I guess I would need hooks for throttle, airspeed, turning the plane, position, etc... need to figure out an abstracted "plane" that the script can control, and the plane implementation will carry out a simple set of commands (turn, climb, dive, etc... would need to decide what level of abstraction we want to interface at) > > It occurred to me what a server would be *really* useful for the other day > - load it up with full US airline timetables, and it should be able to > generate approximately the right traffic at any portion of any airway or > airport, with a bit of a random delay factor thrown in, and remove them > when out of user range.
