* <strike>Helicopter FDM: either extend current FDM engines (i.e. yasim) to provide better support for helicopter flight dynamics, or come up with an entirely new dedicated helicopter FDM engine altogether</strike>-'''Support for helicopter flight simulation has been significantly improved meanwhile, and is still being worked on''' | * <strike>Helicopter FDM: either extend current FDM engines (i.e. yasim) to provide better support for helicopter flight dynamics, or come up with an entirely new dedicated helicopter FDM engine altogether</strike>-'''Support for helicopter flight simulation has been significantly improved meanwhile, and is still being worked on''' | ||
* factor out weather subsystem, so that weather can be set up for specific locations (initially mainly airports and navaids (using radials, distances), later on possibly also landmarks and towns/areas), i.e. to provide weather for departure airport, enroute, destination and alternate. A good approach might be to simply convert the current weather subsystem into a METAR server, that way FlightGear could optionally provide its own local METAR server that can be easily set up using some sort of GUI (or the property tree) and still be easily polled for current weather using the METAR code that is already in place. This approach would also make it very feasible to interoperate with a multiplayer server. | * factor out weather subsystem, so that weather can be set up for specific locations (initially mainly airports and navaids (using radials, distances), later on possibly also landmarks and towns/areas), i.e. to provide weather for departure airport, enroute, destination and alternate.

* add support for integration with TTS (text to speech) engines to FlightGear (i.e. Festival), so that voice ATC becomes possible. There were various discussions about this topic on the mailing list, so you may want to search the archives if you are interested in this feature. '''(Note - Festival support has already been added)''' Also, there is a free multi platform TTS engine called sphinx that is siginificantly more lightweight than festival, so that it may be worth considering this to make it an optional dependency for SimGear? | * add support for integration with TTS (text to speech) engines to FlightGear (i.e. Festival), so that voice ATC becomes possible.
