Actually, that is in fact on-topic, because as long as AI planes are local you don't have a common environment that can be controlled by an ATC. Of course AI planes should follow ATC instructions. That would also eliminate AnMaster's concern that ATC will be boring. I vote against implementing the human ATC as standalone, because I think it is important to be able to look out the window of the tower and see what's going on. -- Csaba ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
