Exploration update.

3 new islands and 1 part, and a few cosmetic features.

Islands

1. Stark Island: 2 airports, a very tall mountain.
   One airport should be on the coast and the other should be inland and larger. Should be located west of Wright
   ÷
   Stark Int'l: Inland, 3 runways, two aprons and multiple runway turnoffs and taxiways.
   Jefferson Municipal: On the shoreline, has 2 small intersecting runways and one apron. Should have a few taxiways and hangars.

   ---

2. Flynn Island: Has multiple small airfields that are relatively the same size. Should be more of an archipelago with no definitive main island. Should be east of Wright.
   ÷
   Airport layout: One runway, one apron, 3-5 taxiways.
   Make 5 of these and dot them around the island.
   ÷
   Airport names:
   Tobasco Mun.
   Castro Mun.
   Miller Mun.
   Andes Mun.
   Copper Mun.

3. Quill Island: Has one large airport, very large landmass and made for rock climbing, and also has rock/gravel trails for convoys. Also should have a racetrack that's paved. Should be southwest of Wright.
   ÷
   Becket Int'l: Has two parallel runways, multiple taxiways and a single apron.

Parts

1. Clickable parts that control inputs: This is probably a more complicated part/feature, but there should be a part that controls input that can be clicked on in-game. This way you can push buttons in the right spot for more realism!

Features

1. Integrated map that shows location, runway heading and alignment guidances, also show your altitude, heading, and island location.
2. The ability to change the menu color palette. Some people like the darkened menu, some others don't, so we should be able to control that.
3. The ability to zoom in cockpit and camera parts, also change the FOV in orbit cameras and in different viewing modes.
4. The ability to add and remove .mp3 files to the in-game music.
5. RAIN AND LIGHTNING
6. Make the fire effect last a minute or two longer, and keep the smoke for much longer, or even last forever for a nice effect that makes the plane feel damaged.
7. GPWS callouts for fun, aligned with runway altitude that's set in the map navigation system. Not sure how warnings would work since the altitude is set to sea level.
8. Nautical and Metric measurement systems.

Miscellaneous/Other map features

1. A fleet of Somalian pirate boats skimming around Quill Island, fires weak ammunition and has terrible aim and has a range of 0.5-0.7 miles of firing. A missile shot should be able to take out two boats at a time, while a few gunshots will sink a boat easily.
2. VTOL base at Wright near the bowl (as explained in the previous post).
3. An option on parachutes to be a permanent umbrella to become m a r y p o p p i n y a l l s

There hasnt been a new island for over a year, and a lot of us are getting bored of the 5 island chain.. Having 3, or even one more would make the game more enjoyable in a multiplayer environment, and in general.
