I may be dreaming.  As it is right now in xp10, one can file a flight plan and request IFR clearance using a valid radio frequency.  The specifics of the flight plan are determined in the ensuing dialogue box in X-Plane.  Using this same set-up and the valid frequency for one's airport, what would it take to request a VFR departure (with a destination selected), or a simple traffic pattern for touch-and-go's.  

 

Either way, especially for most controlled airports, the steps (and programming ) are the same as currently exists with IFR, just without a radar following, and vectors.  For example:

 

1. Request Clearance. (same)

2. Request Taxi. (same)

3. Receive Take Off Clearance (same, including a departure heading)

4. Hand-off (same)

--proceed to destination--

5. Request Approach (the possibility could exist within a certain NM range of the declared destination??)

6. Request Landing Clearance (same)

7. Receive Landing Clearance. (same)

8. Receive Taxi instructions (same)

 

Is this possible, or feasible?
