In Vatsim you could share position data with FSX and Xplane. What we need is a developer to make a system to share position and weapons across game platforms. Then sell that to game companies to incorporate into the boxed product. So you would have a Blackshark shooting at an Abrahms and real people are in the tank and the chopper. Instead of having ghey planes in a FPS or stupid jets that fly donuts around a little quake map...
