Because of this, but also because hardcoding such tag names (i.e. property paths) would be unnecessarily tedious, given that FlightGear itself does not yet actively use this sort of information at the moment to provide aircraft picker/sorting facilities, one could simply by convention have ALL tags below one specific node (i.e. PropertyList/sim/aircraft-status/) -regardless- of their name be honored by potential search frontends. | Because of this, but also because hardcoding such tag names (i.e. property paths) would be unnecessarily tedious, given that FlightGear itself does not yet actively use this sort of information at the moment to provide aircraft picker/sorting facilities, one could simply by convention have ALL tags below one specific node (i.e. PropertyList/sim/aircraft-status/) -regardless- of their name be honored by potential search frontends. | ||

Because of the easy and flexibility of directly using XML/PropertyList files together with the FlightGear Property Tree, this approach to supporting more finely-grained status information tracking is extremely powerful and is promising enough to even support highly detailed status information for complex aircraft that may feature a number of distinct components, for example to appropriately describe various high performance aircraft or airliners, child nodes could be used: | Because of the easy and flexibility of directly using XML/PropertyList files together with the FlightGear Property Tree, this approach to supporting more finely-grained status information tracking is extremely powerful and is promising enough to even support highly detailed status information for complex aircraft that may feature a number of distinct components, for example to appropriately describe various high performance aircraft or airliners, child nodes could be used: | ||

Furthermore, many users have frequently requested a possibility to search and pick aircraft based on certain aircraft-specific characteristics, such as for example the type of aircraft (i.e. single engine vs. multi engine, piston vs. jet etc.) | Furthermore, many users have frequently requested a possibility to search and pick aircraft based on certain aircraft-specific characteristics, such as for example the type of aircraft (i.e. single engine vs. multi engine, piston vs. jet etc.) | ||

If an overall aircraft rating is desired, it should be possible to easily determine it, as a product of factors, based on the status information of its individual components, taking into account that the weight of said information varies, depending on the type of aircraft, and | If an overall aircraft rating is desired, it should be possible to easily determine it, as a product of factors, based on the status information of its individual components, taking into account that the weight of said information varies, depending on the type of aircraft, and its requirements. | ||
