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.) | |||
This could also be easily accomplished by having aircraft authors and contributors provide such meta information in the same way, for example: | |||
<PropertyList> | |||
<!--ac-set.xml --> | |||
<type-of-aircraft include ="aircraft-type.xml"/> | |||
</PropertyList> | |||
<PropertyList> | |||
<!--aircraft-type.xml --> | |||
<is-single-engine type="bool">false<is-single-engine> | |||
<is-multi-engine type="bool">true<is-multi-engine> | |||
<has-piston-propulsion type="bool">false</has-piston-propulsion> | |||
<has-jet-propulsion type="bool">true</has-jet-propulsion> | |||
... | |||
</PropertyList> | |||
From a programming point of view, this doesn't require any work as it mainly requires contributors to provide said information-however from a usability point of view, it adds the possibility for GUI/WEB frontends to easily offer a way to search aircraft using this information. | |||
