hi all,sorry if this has been answered before, but with the more comprehensive ATC MS are offering in 2004, do you think they will also supply SID/STARS or will it third parties have the ability to incorporate this feature into the sim with the ATC SDK?thx!

Here's what's on their site:From http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/atc.aspNew features for Flight Simulator ATC* Multiple runways in use at towered and non-towered airports* Request an IFR clearance while airborne.* Request a destination change while IFR. * Request altitude changes while IFR. * Request full procedure approaches. * Request non-precision approaches.* Request a different runway at airports with multiple active runways. * Request any active approach at airports with multiple approaches. * Taxiway signs-you'll now be more easily able to follow taxi instructions from ATC.* ATC detects IFR weather conditions and refuses take off and landing requests by VFR aircraft.* Request direction to the airport

sure,so at least this time they are releasing an SDK with ATC so lets hope we can get some of that incorporated at some time in the future after fs2004 is released.
