Daytime

[ebon dock]

Have it so you can turn on a setting that's called "photo shoots" That makes it day all the time so its not dark the whole time

[cursive summit]

And most people will not use it for screenshotting

[shy turret]

This is literally just a "delete day/night cycle" suggestion

[trim chasm]

sometimes night looks better for screenshots ngl

[shy turret]

If you want a day screenie or recording, just hop servers

[ebon dock]

I'm not hopping servers with 10 people

[shy turret]

Then just wait

Even if the devs consider this (doubt they will), by the time it gets added yer recording project will either be done or cancelled years prior

[ebon dock]

It takes like 20 minutes

[shy turret]

Not nearly as long as waiting for this to be implemented (doubt this even would, again literally just a "delete day/night cycle" suggestion)

[ebon dock]

Why do you want this deleted so bad?

[shy turret]

Common sense

[ebon dock]

Dog just calm down

[glossy oracle]

made a sorta similar suggestion for like a driving empire-style photo mode, with like weather modifiers too, but to keep it from being abused, u gotta be able to stop having control of the plane while in it maybe?

[ebon dock]

Or like a time of when you can have it on

Idk it's just annoying waiting for the day light to come back

[ebon dock]

It's not in the #rejected-suggestions

[harsh ice]

Staff has said that it will be abused by crate hunters

[digital shadow]

instead of suggesting that you could just take a photo at night, it's not like a complete pitch black that you can't see anything

[digital shadow]

these are some examples proving that taking photo at night is not that bad

[night pond]

id much rather prefer to just extend how long days last in Aero cause nights seem to always last longer than days for some reason,

also self reacter

[ebon dock]

Yea

[ebon dock]

Everybody does

[harsh ice]

self reacting is often frowned upon in the aero community

[night pond]

always*

[ebon dock]

There

[pseudo depot]

Nope, this is only going to be a feature available for staff members only

[ebon dock]

Ok

[pseudo depot]

Actually, it is a thing now

But only staff members can use it

[limber rune]

I know that people are going to REALLY abuse this

[ebon dock]

...

[limber rune]

However there can be some ways this can be circumvented?

Perhaps this can only be done in free flight mode?

[ebon dock]

Yea

[slim parcel]

like making crates easier to see

[ebon dock]

Makes sense

[limber rune]

And after you are done in free flight mode the game goes back to whatever time it was earlier

And crates are perhaps despawned?

I know this is too hard for the developers though

[pseudo depot]

Really it’s best use would be by the developers and M&P

[limber rune]

Agreed

[pseudo depot]

For non-staff? Eh

[limber rune]

The public cannot be trusted

[pseudo depot]

Crates are serverside

[ebon dock]

Hmmmm

[limber rune]

Perhaps make a separate game called "Aeronautica phototaking", now now I know this sounds bad but hear me out: This game is PURELY for phototaking, you cannot fly any planes but instead you can spawn in planes as static models and edit their positions, angle, and livery and advanced customisation. Basically you can spawn a 737 model, edit it and move it up and take photos of it. There you can edit the time and stuff.

Yes, this is an awful suggestion

[unreal ocean]

the aeronautica livery viewer already has a greenscreen mode

[limber rune]

Yeah but you can't really edit the pose or take pictures from different angles

[unreal ocean]

it's not quite what you mean but it's close enough

[limber rune]

I was talking about a full scale game with Aeronautica's map, and you can spawn static planes, edit them in different poses and take pictures of em

[unreal ocean]

making a whole new game with a completely different system, requiring probably months of coding just for taking pictures which can already be achieved in regular aero seems like a waste of time and resources

[limber rune]

Yeah I agree it was just a suggestion

[unreal ocean]

tho it would be kinda cool-ish if there was a dedicated photo button for aeronautica which would freeze your plane in place and allow you to take a picture

i can't see how that could be abused in any way

won't make landings or crate hunting any easier

[limber rune]

That would kind of ruin the realism though

[unreal ocean]

ah yes, the realism of aeronautica

[limber rune]

If you can lower the throttle in that state I can see people abusing that for landings

[unreal ocean]

this is realistic

[unreal ocean]

remove the ability to do so?

simple

[limber rune]

Yeah then perhaps it would be fine

[unreal ocean]

just freeze the plane mid-air and remove all control inputs

[agile estuary]

I love realism in aeronautica

ahhh

man I remember old aero
