  1. I see that there are bot planes in the first public release of POSCON, I hope I am not wrong. If it doesn't, I hope POSCON can allow atc of less popular airports to generate traffic. For the first few times, atc has to manually type the route and other stuff of the flight plan for them. After the database is big enough, the system will auto pick a flight when the atc request generating a flight. To control these planes, atc has to manually select the speed and direction/taxiway for them with their mouse, while speaking on the radio simulating a conversation with the bot pilot. POSCON do not need to simulate the bot pilot's reply. The atc will do the pilot's read-back too. POSCON only need to change the pitch of the atc when the atc is acting as a pilot. Truly it sounds a bit weird, but when these planes can attract real players to fly into those airports, then one day atc might not need to generate bot planes to fill up the empty airport.
  2. Maybe vanishing in the sky is better than at the airport? Instruct the AI to fly a flight for that aircraft, and then vanish in the sky when there is no user flying nearby.
  3. When a person quits the simulator, its so weird to see his or her aircraft vanish suddenly at the airport. Maybe we can try to handle that aircraft by AI, so that it remains at the airport?
  4. As I know, airlines tow some of their aircraft from a terminal to the maintenance area at night and for freeing out a gate during the daytime. These aircraft do not have departure or destination airports, and are towed with engine off. Can they be added to the AI traffic?
  5. To do this, we also need to temporarily disable the default taxiway green lights from the scenery that pilots have, and add these lights into the scenery.
  6. At night, in many real world airports, including Heathrow, Air Traffic Controllers guide aircraft by green lights on taxiways. Turning on the green lights of specific taxiways can show the pilots a green path that the aircraft should taxi on. Of course, no green lights means the aircraft should not move.
