(This will probably take a fair amount of re-plumbing since it's a fairly deep-seated assumption that the scenario is fixed during a sim; it's not clear that it's worth the trouble.)

This would also require a way to hold departures and for the controller to release them again when appropriate.

On top of this, I think having an updated sim is better than an initialized one. For example, the live weather could be updated, especially with Winds Aloft being added soon™. It would mean changing a lot of how the simulator is made, but I do think that in the long run it would be a thing we would want to put in there.

As far as I know, most busy places will hold departures until the airport is changed around. I like your idea of if a config change is made that departures are held until “resumed” on new config. That’s be a good start to see how it works.,
