Feature request: more ground status options in dep list

At the moment, the only available ground status options are depa, taxi and push. I would like to add a ‘startup’ option. On the airport I control (EHAM), the startup clearance is given by DEL. During some events, startup control is even a separate control position. At the moment they have no easy way to communicate that a start-up clearance was given (except using free text, but in my experience that is not ideal). Having a ‘startup’ option would help them (but also GND and TWR) keeping a better situational awareness.

 

I guess this is something that has to be changed on server-level first. If so, I am happy to redirect this request to VATSIM.

 

Kind regards,

To be honest the ground status is just a hack on the network. It is propagated as the free text. Servers have nothing to do with it. I can add new states for a new release, but unfortunately old clients will not recognize them.
