[Approved] Plane suggestion

[Aether]

Hi,

what do you think of the game suggesting planes for a route, with a brief explanation of why?

Airlines usually have solid reasons for using one airplane over another for a given route.

If we have data about the most used planes on a route IRL, maybe we could include it?

Both to help new players not knowing much about planes yet, and to inform players more familiar with airlines but who can always stand to learn more.

Maybe not necessarily a suggestion, maybe a link to a wiki or to some external source having this kind of info?

At some point we'll have to code something similar for the AI so that it chooses the correct planes.
If it functions well we might as well tell the player.

However, it will need some tinkering, as I remember this feature didn't work that well in V1.


As far as just providing some info about the airliner, something like that is already in the game. (or at least in the database?)
Though there are only a handful of planes with this info, and even then they don't include their ideal mission.
