I'm not certain if it's really the kids we have to fear. I guess some
grown-ups that are going wild are much worse .... !
In total I don't think such effort is for the benefit of the FlightGear
simulator - well, the regulars on this list will remember that we
already had such discussion several times.
Putting dogfight and shooting/destroying capabilities into FlightGear
will attract a dubious clientele that no serious 'pilot' wants to get
molested by in their simulated environment. Certainly some of those
people will find enough different ways to annoy the serious pilot even
if he can block them from shooting him.
As a consequence I'd propose considering to let this stuff run in an
isolated environment, say a 'sandbox', where it can't do harm to the
rest of us.
Regards,
Martin.
