Here's Some Weird Ideas...

Today I took my first SAT. After some of the sections I had little time left over, so I let my mind wander. Here are some "What if..." ideas I came up with for FSX:

A2A Simulations + Accusim An-2
A2A Simulations + Accusim An-225
Boulton Paul Defiant
"Smart AI" - AI fighter aircraft that intercept and escort you if you enter their airspace
Gradual wearing of aircraft in FSX due to use and mistreatment
Tire marks accumulating on the runways due to multiple landings
Radar jamming when near military airports (User choice: on/off)
Aircraft lightening strikes (Killing the aircraft systems, thus making a glider)

I'm always thinking about FSX, and these were just a few ideas I had swimming around my head today. I don't know if any of these are possible, but it'd be really cool if they were. I just wanted to share! :mixedsmi:

Hi,
I just happen to have this at one of the local strips...

Some nice ideas.
Now that we know that FSX is the platform for years,
who knows what our Devs can realize?

These ideas sound good to me!

Of course, good luck trying to find a non-Russian/Ukrainian developer to do either of the Antonovs! Still surprised we haven't seen an FSX-Native, full-fidelity An-2 "Colt", but I think it's because most of the "Western" if you will, developers can't wrap their head around the Russian gauge logic and language barrier!

The smart AI concept sounds very interesting! I obviously have no idea how one would activate something like that, but I like the concept!
