Excellent news. My biggest two requests would be to get the sound code out of main.cxx, and proper support for positional sources - i.e AI or MP traffic. Being able to position sounds on the airframe would be good too - engine and gear noises especialy.
Let me know if I can help at all. Also note I'm currently making some changes to kill of our use of the PLIB sg math classes - fgfx is done, but the code in main.cxx is next.
