The ATC in FlightGear is an area that is currently still under active development. Feel free to browse through the source code subdirectories that make up the most significant bits and pieces (src/ATC src/AIModel src/Traffic, and to some degree src/Airports (look for the files simple.cxx and simple.hxx). If you feel like working in this area, you're more than welcome, but please send us a brief outline of your ideas so we can check how well it fits with our ongoing plans. One potential code improvement that might really come in handy in future AI traffic is is a set of algorithms that run across multiple frames. Right now, there is still a limited set of potentially CPU/IO intensive more or less AI related functions that run within one frame, and might disrupt the flow of the simulator. Two examples that come to mind are: 1) The FGGroundNetwork::trace() algorithm (see Airports/simple.cxx) 2) The SimGear model loaders. Having versions of these functions that distribute the calculations across multiple frames might be very handy in the long run.
