Yes, I hadn't realised that when I made the suggestion, I mistakenly 
thought we were only discussing the attempt at intelligent AI traffic.

It would be a shame to lose the ATIS, especially now it's working again 
following the sound changes.  What I propose to do is to remove all the 
AI traffic stuff from ATCDCL, leaving just the ATC code, and then 
re-enable it at compile time by default.  The AI traffic is where all 
the crashes originate from, and this would leave the frequency lookup 
and ATIS working until they are ported to the new ATC system.  I've 
discovered that my Wife's laptop has a 3D card, so I should be able to 
remove the AI stuff and test it.

The only user-visible feature that would be lost would be the messages 
to/from ATC and the AI traffic.  That however is unavoidable given that 
that AI system is realistically unmaintainable.

Cheers - Dave
