This mod idea could be useful in cop and dogfight missions (makes not much sense offline).
The idea is a simple control tower where the player can sit, look around, and give via chat (or TS) clearance for landing/takeoff to other players, or call help when the airfield is attacked.
It could also act as a tactical guide for other players. Could be used by server admins to look around who is behaving badly (eg taking off from taxiways or forbidden areas, etc) , or in cooperative playing.
A control tower could be a simple aircraft with a different 3D model (maybe taken from the Control Tower object) no engine, no weapons.
Of course it will remain fixed in the spawn point but this is not a big problem
A possible variation (weapons change) would be giving red and green signalling "flares" (MG and cannons with different tracers) to visually signal clearance or abort to other players.
What do you think about it?
