Really big one, most likely would never get accepted lol. So this game has a crap ton of retro aircraft, and essentially, when playing you can select an era such as modern, golden ages, early aviation. Doing this would give you a selection of aircraft from the era and back. (so no modern aircraft in golden ages era but early aviation would be allowed) The reason this one is really big is because the airports and scenary would change a ton, such as the current JFK would be a lot smaller and different.

this sounds epic but i do agree it will most likely not get accepted :(

#

maybe something somewhat similar

#

you could place a filter on what planes you see

#

in maybe the hangar or database

#

different types of aircraft and whatnot from different eras

#

it's a good idea ig

#

maybe not QOL or "other"

#

but generally the rest

also word of advice

#

dont YES react your own suggestion

#

cuz it makes you look bad

I don't think something that changes the whole map and vehicles sold at certain airports everytime you change era is going to be added to aero, at all.
It would not only be extremely time consuming to make different worlds according to the time era (We often get 1 or 2 airports remodel per update, and there are 170+ of them in the current map) but it would also make tasks like trading or flying with your friend less practical, since you should specify the server, the airport, and the time era you want to play in.
Also, how would it affect other players in your same server but in a different time era? You might be taxiing to the gate in a spot that someone in another time era sees as water, plus different players in the same dealership should see different planes if they are in a different time era, which would be quite confusing to implement if they are in the same server.
A solution to this might exist, tho, by making different servers show a different time era. for example: server 76BABE: 1980s; 386E23: 2000s.
This would still require to model tens of different variations of the map tho, which i do not see coming to the game

i dont see how this would work unless it was different games for different eras

#

because if youre saying smaller jfk that would have to be a seperate game no

YES I want retronautica

#

It must be a different game cuz with so many changes in scenery face to the vanila game it wouldn't work to do cross compatible with each other...

#

yes

#

In rest the planes the game mechanics don't need a ton of effort (-not accounting the high number of planes)

no i mean like

#

entire servers

#

you can only see other players in similar servers

#

so like say uhhh

#

1930s can only see 1930s

#

itd be easier than making an entirely different game

#

neo warfare X does it well

upper comet
#

I'll let the higher authority to decide

#

Still It would be awesome to have this era selection

#

Might be cool to have hangar/database filters and have this be one of them

#

Dunno if thats already been said here

Wait so this means different servers have the option to have different eras?

#

Im kinda divided on that

compact wind
#

so it doesnt rlly matter

#

#

this would actually be cool to have tbh

crimson jay
#

I mean lets be fair

#

Cool to have but cumbersome to implement

#

Maybe also unfair considering cratehunting is a thing

Nah I’d use the Wright flyer

Cat tell is it’s better or worse
