I had thought about that option too, but the same questions as my first solution remain : what should be the list of the available ports ? I really have no idea here : any craft may be interesting to players. Also, if this list could be established, why not keep a single port (which would then be *a lot* easier to maintain) ? To sum um, in my opinion, there are in really 2 options : 1) Limit the port to a few selected aircrafts => (either in one port or split) 2) Remove the port I can go for 1), but I would need help to establish the list of aircrafts you'd like... :p Best regards, -- Ganael LAPLANCHE http://www.martymac.org | http://contribs.martymac.org FreeBSD: martymac , http://www.FreeBSD.org
