Ability to Manually Edit/Reorganise Aircraft in Aircraft Selection

At the moment, the aircraft selection screens are a mess. Since there’s no naming convention that any of the various teams of developers have agreed and followed… there’s no sense to the order in which aircraft appear, or in how they are named.

Since it seems that applying or enforcing some kind of convention to tidy this all up isn’t likely to be forthcoming any time soon - how about just making the various text entries on the aircraft selection screens editable by user?

It doesn’t even have to overwrite or edit the aircraft configuration screen. We just need a locally defined override file that contains whatever we decide to enter.. and for that to be used if there’s anything in it, and use the original configuration files for aircraft with no manual/local entry.

Agree. It’s been an issue since 2020. Asobo call it a Textron, Blacksquare call it a Blacksquare and it sorts on these. Both same aircraft manufacturer and type. Plenty of other examples as well. Be nice if we could remove all the un-wanted dross aircraft we will never use also. Voted.

Yes Would be great to be able to put all the Cessna and Piper etc. in groups together. Be able to set an Alphabetical by manufacture or however you like.
Even group Favorites.
