Included in latest release?

I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to have a column indicating that whether the aircraft is included in the latest release or not. I have not checked this list carefully yet but I suspect there is quite a number of aircraft in it that were not included in the 1.0.0 release. I do think it makes good sense to list and describe new aircraft that have not yet been included in a FlightGear release here (preferably they should be in FlightGear/CVS, though) but not indicating which are in the latest release and which are newer might confuse users and increase the support burden. It shouldn't be too difficult to fill all empty slots in the column with the new version number (or a "Yes") when the next release occurs.

Yes, this a good idea. I will add such a column to the list. Fg 20:13, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

Fresh list?

After 6 years I think this list format has run its course. With the next version it would be nice to start a fresh list. Thoughts? Fg (talk) 17:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Not sure what you'd like to do, but one thing to consider would be to merge all the version cells into a "first available in release.." field. 99.9% of the aircraft are introduced and never withdrawn, so it makes little sense to mention every single FlightGear version.
