I’m all for it. Often forget to switch off dev mode until I’m in the air. Also use the Volocopter to fly from my house to the airport and then switch to another plane. It’s annoying to have to go back to the main menu and reload a new flight.
But I sort of understand the logic behind it, since you can ‘cheat’ and can alter the results of i.e. a landing challenge by switching to a different plane.
In regular flight you can only cheat yourself basically.
Maybe they could bind the logbook to the plane switch in the air. So as long as you switch planes while stationary on the ground you won’t lose the logbook.
Or they could make it possible to change planes without dev mode as long as you’re parked cold and dark on the ground and not on a runway.
