They actually had a pretty neat scripting system.  You could click a
starting point, ending point, and a midpoint.  The system would figure
a reasonably optimal route throught the taxiway network.  Planes would
yield to each other and even to vehicles if the vehicle forced the
issue.  There were magic spots on the end of the runway that if you
took the path to those, then the airplane would continue with a take
off, fly around for 10 minutes and come back and land.  It wasn't
perfect, but from a ground vehicle perspective it looked really
convincing.
