I've seen the both VoxATC in FSX and FS9 and know what is missing. Great that you're working on it as well.

Ok, Rob, have found something that rang my bell in the beginning:An abstract from Pete Dawson's forum on FSUIPC4 version 4.09:QUOTE:FSUIPC4 version 4.09Changes since 4.08 are: .......................3. It appears that AI aircraft injected by on-line flight programs such as FSInn appear in FSX with zero Ground Speed and Vertical Speed, and always in ATC state "Initialisation". This makes TCAS and other traffic displays either show them incorrectly, or not show them at all.UNQUOTE.FSInn is a multiplayer connect interface program (used in VATSIM for example) that, as it turns out, can also generate AI traffic for the MP session.That reference in the beginning was in a different context of VOXATC.
