I read through the thread about automatic takeoffs and landings, and I've got to admit, this is all really cool! I tried the "Aircraft" mod, and they add sci-fi hovercraft that don't change elevation or require places to land. It's more like having harder to use logistics and combat robots than actual planes. I like the realism aspect, but will it ever be fully automatable? Maybe with circuit conditions or other conditions? Similar to trains, where you have conditions you can set like inactivity, cargo conditions, etc., and then the plane follows a pre-stored route? It would definitely be hard to account for things like collisions, but in my opinion (knowing nothing about programming beyond python data analysis), the hard part is already done.

Definitely curious to see your thoughts! This is definitely my favorite aircraft mod, one of my favorites in general.
