The recent addition of in session audio broadcasts available via radio have become a hit. I hope to add full control of the station to the pilots in the session in the manner of allowing them to queue music and other programming. The funny radio spots and commercials get a good laugh and its been enjoyable.All of this is what the ASIS project is all about. Adding to the enjoyment if the session environment.

To date, ASIS can send text to the in game chat window and audio announcements at either a set time or random intervals. This has been extremely useful for newcomers to the server. It tells them where to tune thier radio for news and info, and provides web addresses to the website.  Those that have experienced have commented that it sounds professional and interesting as well as entertaining.

The main features I would like to impliment into ASIS are:

• Complete interaction/connection between the forum and in game text chat
• Administration options such as changing time, weather, location on the server
• Admin ability to monitor the users on the server from a remote web application where they can kick and ban, send private chats, etc. with the users of the server.
• Complete automated session login (Gamespy) and setup. An Auto Server Reset.
• Flight tracking, recording and reporting of all active users in the session to a web interface.
