Ok here's the scenario..
I'm a kid and taken off in a 747 and need some real world kinda help to
land for teens...
Problem with FG is that it needs to "simulate a bit more".. and not be a
long winded things....

Indeed 1000% of above... agreed.. problem is that I want to control the
kids downstairs and do do that I can use any comms system I want.. eg
holding nose and saying in ATc voice.. down a toilet roll..
Turn left heading 295 .. decend and maintain 30 ft ,... etc..
At the end of the day its a VOIP server.. and is it peer to peer..
We need to get into the peer to peer and local networks more..
Make and easy install system and some sponshorship.. aas VOIP ==bandwidth
== Money at the end fo the day.. is reality..
Skype, Asterix and Goggle talk are various platform..which potentially we
can "link into"..
Maybe we can create a "FGCOM" virtual machine with amazon.. and others
international..

What the Sim missing at the moment is some real ATC...
We can create that with a STAR and SID patterns and is and ATC exersice..
Indeed the problem is that FG is all about the "pilots" and it actually
needs some "ATC" to make it more real..
Vatsim is a network, ivao is another.. Fg has all the "flight side" worked
out..
maybe we need some "zones of control".. both for the benefit of new pilots
who wanna fly.. and pilots who do international and long range nav et all..
Certainly chatting to a russian aircraft AN225 and quided into london with
a few smaller ones around tickles the OAT..
Whats the protocol anyway ??
love u all
