Ability to Create a Nickname for an Airport, Place, etc.

[weak heart]

Greetings Aeronautica!
Have you ever wanted to nickname an airport of your own, because the fictional name doesn't suit you? Or do you want real pilots to know what the airports are based on? This is a suggestion for:

Ability to change airport, places and city names of your own choice

The ability to change an airport's name can give people more creativity in choosing what they want their hub to be named after, or what airport they are actually going to. Changing airport names can also bring familiarity to people who are familiar with many airports in real life, or to pilots who want to experience this game.

How will it work?

1. Select an airport.
   In the first screenshot, I selected Umibutsu, intending to change it to Osaka Kansai Airport.
2. Click "Change Airport Nickname".
   This button will direct you to a menu where you can select the airport's name, city, and ICAO code. I will change the nickname from Umibutsu to Osaka-Kansai.
3. Save and see the results.
   Your in-game perspective of Umibutsu (or an airport of your choice) will be switched to the nickname you chose. This will not change the nickname for others; only you and your screen will be affected.
4. To return to the original name, leave the airport nickname field empty when selecting an airport.

How will this improve the game?

• Creativity for airport namers/hub creators
  People who think the name could be changed for themselves can name the airport whatever they want, but only they can see it and become familiar with their custom airport name(s).
• Familiarisation with IRL pilots/passengers
  New players who want to know what the airport is based on can name the airports according to their IRL counterpart, so they know which airport they are going to in IRL. (example: Naming Amaras Regional to Madeira Airport, so they know where they are going and how to land)
• An expansion for other more features with nicknaming
  So far, the only feature we got with nicknaming our own things in Aeronautica is Epic Status, Airlines, etc. Renaming airports based on our own perspective can make a difference to travelling in Aeronautica.

Some questions:

• Is it feasible to add in Aeronautica?
  This suggestion does not alter the in-game map; instead, it changes nicknames for airports, places, and other locations. It's pretty feasible to add this feature compared to months of modelling.
• Will it change the name of the airport with everyone else?
  No, the nickname will be only in your in-game perspective, saved to your data. You can revert the nickname at any time.
• How much impact will it have on players?
  The impact/change for players and pilots can differ. It has the potential to attract more players or real-life pilots, crew, etc. It can also give more creativity to players.

I hope this suggestion can be added to Aeronautica, and have more depth into nicknaming places. Thank you for your support!

[faint cloak]

it wont work

its hard to implement

and iirc you cant store stuff on the client

only server

[weak heart]

then why will it work for epic status?

[faint cloak]

everyone can see epic status

not just you

they can see the name

[weak heart]

can they even see the number of wp a player has?

[faint cloak]

no

thats the player data

[weak heart]

a nickname can also be part of a player data

[faint cloak]

but it will alter the map

part of server data

(i may be wrong i dont know shit about roblox coding)

[weak heart]

let the devs figure it out how to add it
maybe they'll just change/replace the text in your screen

[faint cloak]

i think this is how it works tho

[manic bloom]

Why? I don't see the point.

[bitter wasp]

No point at this 😭😭😭

We call Clarence, Clarence

[weak heart]

some people want it named laguardia

[bitter wasp]

Some

Not most

Most of us want Clarence to be called Clarence

We ain't changing that

[weak heart]

exactly, a portion of people can just change it whatever they want
meanwhile, most of you guys can leave it as "clarence"

[bitter wasp]

Which can cause confusion

Also no point on this anyways

[weak heart]

it's like people calling valois "valhalla"

[bitter wasp]

???

[weak heart]

valois was formerly named valhalla international

[bitter wasp]

Was it an in-game name? Yes
Is LGA an in-game name? No

Know the difference

-# K wtf is the autocorrect

1: no point at it
2: people will rarely use it
3: somewhat hard to code

"Familiarisation for irl pilots" no
Aero is a fictional world

And it shall stay that way

[weak heart]

fictional world, non-fictional planes

[bitter wasp]

Those are 2 completely different things

Newgens tryna suggest things that are either useless or extremely difficult to implement (and which nobody will use it afterwards)

[buoyant ingot]

wouldn't this confuse everyone

[weak heart]

you know, a lot of newgens, aren't really a newgen

[faint cloak]

it would

[faint cloak]

so true

[tame cedar]

@faint cloak @bitter wasp both of you, chill out

No need to be this rude

[faint cloak]

how is this rude

i dont get it

[weak heart]

they just play in 2022 and never play it for a long time

and you have the debate here

that literally has nothing done to it

[tame cedar]

Because nothing is happening there anymore

[faint cloak]

but it did

so was i

i did this here

[tame cedar]

And the majority of this suggestion is filled with arguing

[faint cloak]

but since i stopped

[tame cedar]

Not that one

[faint cloak]

scroll up

tsk tsk

[tame cedar]

I did?

[faint cloak]

theres a reason

oop double post

[tame cedar]

I’m not going to say stop arguing to an argument that ended over an hour ago

End of discussion

[faint cloak]

k

this was 1.5 hr ago

also suggestion rule 4

[bitter wasp]

I wasn't

I'm just pointing out the issues

[faint cloak]

same

[bitter wasp]

Yk what

@wintry hull

You decide

[faint cloak]

[hoary canyon]

No we calling Clarence "shitty ass airport with too many players but at least floating point isn't bad here"

[bitter wasp]

[lunar swan]

lmao

dont get me wrong this would be cool but like its literally pointless

and too much effort to implement

[hoary canyon]

^

[reef hemlock]

how tf is this hard to implement

[bitter wasp]

The fact that we have a ratio of modellers 3:1 coders

Also pointless

[reef hemlock]

that doesnt make it hard

it would just be

low priority

if its even considered at least

[lunar swan]

low priority because its useless

[bitter wasp]

Eh

Fair enough

Once again

Utterly useless

So yuh

[reef hemlock]

i saw you say this is useless 20 times i dont need to hear it again lmao

[bitter wasp]

Make it 21

[reef hemlock]

i get your point

[bitter wasp]

[lunar swan]

im just like a bit biased bc ive flown there multiple times

its a cool airport so im not complaining

[reef hemlock]

ew

[lunar swan]

?

[reef hemlock]

they shouldve done daytona 💔

[lunar swan]

nah miami is fine

literally nothing wrong with miami lmao

i definitely understand why people prefer FLL

[faint cloak]

what is miami and fll

[hoary canyon]

You need to create extra save slot thingies for each airport'snickname and also come up with the UI to change the airport name and whatnot

[lunar swan]

fort lauderdale

is FLL

[weak heart]

miami and fort lauderdale iirc

[reef hemlock]

daytona is better because it has the track and also embry riddle

[lunar swan]

neither are related to the airport

i care about the actual airport itself

[faint cloak]

what is dayton

[reef hemlock]

yeah which is why daytona is better because they are connected

[lunar swan]

also i dont even know what the city of harden is based on but i dont think its florida

[reef hemlock]

if harden isnt based on florida why is it being remodeled to miami

[lunar swan]

because the airport is based on miami

[reef hemlock]

and also fiskar is right next to it so its definitely florida

lmao

[lunar swan]

airports dont have to match locations

kitesboro is based on DC and SF yet the airport is based on san diego

[lunar swan]

the track literally isnt part of the airport

[reef hemlock]

ok im gonna stop talking bc this is irrelevant

[faint cloak]

marion county airport ❤️

[lunar swan]

kmao

anyway yeah im glad they chose miami

[weak heart]

wait, when is it being remodeled?

[reef hemlock]

idk

[lunar swan]

i dont think its being actively worked on

[marble forge]

So imperialism?

[tame cedar]

Harden atm is Miami

It’s just missing a runway

It’s a combination of Hawaii and Miami

[karmic oasis]

anyways

[primal perch]

whats going on here

[karmic oasis]

This is so pointless

And unnecessary

[marble forge]

[primal perch]

ok someone shut this thang down

it must be said that this is very neatly presented though and high effort explanation on the bell curve of suggestion quality
