My main goals to achieve while working on the addon were: - to have ICAO signs for airports whenever I fly with my fellow v-pilots during our scenarios, - to have helping signs while taxiing according to ATC's direction - to have airport charts that would help having better SA at airports - to have better and more realistic immersions at airports - to encourage mission makers of colaborating communities to include ATC slot for their's MP scenarios It took me 4 days to create the addon.

This is mainly for the developers or anyone who actually knows for fact the inner workings of arma physics.... Which model is arma using for calculating ballistic calculations for bullet flight? ASM or ICAO? I see people making mods trying to give 'realism' and they using apparently two different standards according to the ammo data given.Vanilla says ICAO (g7) but also ASM (G1) I just want to make sure that arma can tell the difference.
