Hi All,

 

I have yet another crazy request for a plugin! Is it possible to create a "Clearance to Land indicator"?

 

For those who don't know what they are or what they do, when conducting a precision approach, or surveillance radar approach, a landing clearance must be obtained from the tower to the radar controller, typically it's done through a panel with a button that says "Request". That throws up a notification to the tower controller with 3 options, "Continue, Go Around or Land" and they can be chosen respectively.

 

Can anyone take on the challenge?

Unfortunately there is no way for plug-in to plug-in communication. Se even it is possible to save the landing clearence there is no way to publish it to the other controller.

Can't it be done in a way similar to the ground status tags?

Negative. We are not allowed to increase the traffic load of the servers. That is why there is no API for the plug-in developers that can be used for this kind of communication.
