Correct - it's not intended to queue messages.  Messages transmitted at the 
same time end up displayed on top of each other and appear garbled, much as 
messages transmitted at the same time probably sound garbled, screeched, or one 
non-existant in real life.  All the message collision logic is in the ATC and 
AI units, which attempt to speak only when the frequency is clear.  There are a 
few bugs in there, so sometimes garbled speech occurs!

I do agree though that the basic ATC display can be nearly unreadable under 
some colour conditions - it's very much a quick hack ;-)

Cheers - Dave
