it'd be nice to extend the communications
possibilities a little bit (like permission for
taxiing to the other end of runway when it's desirable
to do so due to wind direction, the tower telling you
what altitude/flight level to mantain etc. I'm no
expert on ATC conventions (like when to contact the
tower, what to report, what not to report..) but you
get the idea). Not that it was a very important
feature - I just thought it'd feel more real.

While on the subject of nifty features, it would be fun if the ATC went
to the multiplayer server when connected so that it may keep track of
which planes are taxing, taking off, or approaching, and tell the other
pilots to hold if the runway is busy :) I suspect it would require a
small change in the multiplayer code/protocol, and the ATC code, but
most of the intelligence would have to be implemented at the multiplayer
server.
