Like the aircraft symbols, it would be nice to customize map symbols too! Same logic too!

This is not as easy to implement, post release perhaps.

Another request related to the aircraft symbol. I made an aircraft symbol and was hoping it would orientate the way the aircraft is headed like in EuroScope. Also related to headings, datablock colors based on eastbound/westbound headings

I've added a RotateToTrack attribute for TrackSymbols

<TrackSymbol Type="FlightPlan" RotateToTrack="True">

Default behaviour is true for Ground tracks, false otherwise

Is there a possibility to have airway labels automatically exist in between fixes along the airway, whether they're text or symbols? I'm currently doing it by hand and getting a lat/lon in between each fix. Mine are the blue square boxes. I believe VRC/ES has this feature.

If custom symbol sizes are a bit hard, is it easier to make the symbols sizeable?

No. Neither are hard to implement but as the map symbols need to be rendered in a particular way for performance it will require a fair amount of work to generalise that part of the code. Other things to fix first.
