Just a thought regarding BoB...

I wonder if it would be possible to completely disconnect the user interface from the flight simulation? Have them as two seperate programs?

I.e. have everything up to the 'Fly' button as the Interface program, and everything beyond as the Flight program.

If the interface between the two could be publicly defined, it would enable third parties to make their own interface programs! You could have a user-made campaign with its own .exe to generate briefings, aircraft selection, pilot rosters etc seamlessly integrated with the Simulation. Or online lobbies which could display maps, photographs, target status, and with its own interface for aircraft selection to block certain loadouts or keep limits on the numbers of aircraft of a certain type.

It could allow the community take the task of making immersive interface environments for offline campaigns, leaving 1C to concentrate on the core of the simulator...
