While the preparations for our upcoming release are still going on, development for the next release has already started. In early august code changes were committed, which allow FlightGear users to interact with an artifically intelligent ATC system. Currently it is possible to request startup clearance, permission for push back, as well as taxi-clearances. A brand new, and highly experimental, ground network visualization system makes it possible to taxi from parking to runway along the route given by ATC. Hold position and resume taxi instructions can be be given in order to avoid collisions with other (AI controlled) aircraft. Hand-off to a tower controller, as well as more interactive take offs, are in the planning stages. The aim is to have all stages of IFR commercial aviation traffic under ATC control before the release of flightgear 2.6.0, which is planned for early 2012. | |||
