Just a little request for me

[Carman1000]

Just a Little Wish list for me,
should not be too hard to implement as it uses existing features.

I would like to see the Icon A5 added to the purchasable aircraft so that i can add it to my personal hanger.
I have loved flying it since Microsoft FLIGHT and have had the model ported over to my current sim and fly it a lot.


Another thing; As a Sailor, I would like to see a normal sailing yacht (and maybe a sailing Super-yacht) added to the "Nautical Vessels" in the personal belongings tab as currently the only sailing vessel is a catamaran.
And while catamarans are great for places like the Caribbean where you can go swimming regularly, they actually sail like a floating brick, in my opinion not so good.

If you have the specifications sheet, go to aircraft database and in the upper right corner, click ADD AIRCRAFT enter the data required and make sure you post a website link of where you obtained your data. Then wait for FSA admin to approve, deny or ask for modifications ....

Sam is correct about how to add the aircraft to the database and I see no reason why we would not add the A5.

As for the belongings I am happy to add more things to buy if someone else is willing to do the research. What we need for each item is:

Short Name:
Description:
Price:

I'll have a look at the aircraft database. I did not know that was a feature, thank you for pointing that out.
As for the Yacht, I think this should suffice:

Short Name: Sailing Yacht
Short Description:
A Leisure Craft more suited to the competent Sailor,
this 40ft Yacht has it all; Comfortable berths, En-suite Heads, Plenty Storage in the Galley, and a Sizable Saloon.
Price: 52.000v$
Category: Nautical Vessels

Well, I Did my best to research the Icon A5 and filled in everything it asked for, but even after reformatting the numbers the page will not let me submit the aircraft!
it keeps saying the ZFW and Cargo Space is invalid.

The max zero fuel weight is the dry operating weight plus maximum payload, so it is impossible for the MZFW to be less than the DOW.

Okay, i think i have a better understanding of what the fields were asking for now, thank you.
Don't forget to check out my belongings entry above!

I added the 'Sailing Yacht' as you gave it, but would it be better to change it to a specific make and model? And to be honest 52k for a 40' sail boat is super cheap.

No, not really:

I was just trying to follow a similar format to what was already on the store.
Other 'nautical vessels' appear to not have been named as such, but rather described, Save the surf board and the RIB.
the yacht in the picture is a Southerly (make) but i unfortunately have lost track of what model.
and as for pricing, i did do a quick search for what sort of price these go for, and the result was "about 50,000 for a ~30ft, and a little more for a ~40ft yacht". so i just copied the price of the catamaran that seemed to be a similar price range.

[joefremont]

I guess I was thinking of the price of a new boat, rather than a used one,

The ships in my examples are new ("Neues Boot", built 2019)

[joefremont]

Thats interesting, of the three examples you gave, the 2019 'Neues Boot' was 32.5k,
A 1986 boat for 34k (Also marked as 'Neues Boot')
And a 2007 boat listed for 55k (again marked as 'Neues Boot')

When they say 'Newes Boot' they must mean something other than fresh from the factory, maybe new on there site.

It's not a big deal as belongings are just 'cool to have' things, I tried to find a sailboat maker who listed the prices for all there boats but they are worse than car manufacturers and never list the actual price.
