Default Re: Suggestions for the Future of Air Command

I'll add another I forgot...

5) When you clear someone for takeoff, they are already cleared to climb to 10k on the VOR. Why not allow you, as the controller, to also set their immediate course and alt when you clear them to roll?

You should click on them for takeoff, and it should default to 10k and their exit VOR (or 1K and their destination airport). You should be able to put in a VOR, heading and altitude now and then hit execute, which puts them into takeoff and has them follow the orders you gave them.

This way, I don't have to worry about launching a plane under a whole lot of other planes and having to catch him off the end of the runway to give him further instructions. I can hold him at low altitudes and run him out a bit before lifting him.

That would be much better.
