Um, my plan was actually to have the sim spawn appropriate random aircraft as the user gets near, and to have each airport populated with statics which can randomly spawn into life. Is there anything wrong with this? Obviously the user should be able to switch this off, and it should be turned off automatically when the sim connects to a server. In the long run it should also be overridable if the user wants to drop in say a file of actual airline routes and times. (The GA stuff should still be random though).
