The only other desktop FlightSim I know in fair detail is MSFS, and fact that all AI traffic follows straight point to point routes drives me nuts. Especially when Flying across continental Europe with the major project AI airlines packages installed, which results in major proximity alerts about every five minutes. There are still a few gotcha's to think about, to prevent "ridiculous routing", but the general idea is to find a way through the airway network stored in data/Navaids/awy.dat.gz in a way much similar to the trace algorithm used in src/Airports/groundnetwork.[ch]xx Once a good route is found, it can be stored in a cache directory on disk, so its' available for fast access.
