Yep, there is discussion of adding these to the airport diagrams on the scope so when a customer says, "clear of 16R, taxi to Million Air," we have a fighting chance of finding out where that is.

That also raises the issue of the gates. I have started to add gate numbers to the larger airports, but the only place I have foundthe gate numbers is Google maps. Not only that,but in real world airports, the larger ones, the airlines run their own ground contro towers to manage traffic to their terminals. That's y you see so many towers at Denver international.

I would guess that some day when there are a few virtual airlines operating on PE they would handle the ground control handoff for the terminals. Anyhow, I digress. I have been adding gate IDs so you can taxi to a specific gate when you are flying a heavy.
