Goal of the page

Hi,

I'm not exactly sure what the goal of this page is. We definitely do not want to suggest the average FlightGear user to use a development repository to get their aircraft from with high risk of issues and bugs. Especially not in cases where the authors actively push releases to FGAddon when they reach a stable state (e.g., the Space Shuttle, c172 etc.). For those interested in finding the latest development version of an aircraft, each aircraft page on the wiki has (or can have) a "repository" link in the infobox behind this icon Preferences-system 32x32.png. This makes me wonder what the added value of this page is in its current form?

Also note that linking to FGMembers is definitely a no-go per our statement.

SP-NTX (talk) 18:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC) Yes, this have no sense of doing it. Well, suggesting aircrafts is nothing bad but someone should write why they are good, and not just spam links on possibly bugged version on usually FGLauncher ones. FGMembers ones need to be deleted, because fgmembers, i didn't wanted to deleted that fgmembers link that SidarDeha posted here, because i knew that there is no other version than FGmembers, so i wrote warning on start of the page. And yes, That what FGMembers did was not stupid, but they did it wrong. They maked one hangar with all aricrafts what can be added to launcher. But there are also license problems, especially for the FGMembers-nonGPL(what the hell is that). I think that page is not contributing anything to FG, may make some users experience bug with 3rd party aircrafts, and should be category of wiki pages with good aircrafts instead of few github links here

Shift to a user subpage

The content of this article is not NPOV, it is the opinion of the user SidarDeha. The content should be moved either to the user's page User:SidarDeha or a dedicated subpage such as User:SidarDeha/Suggested_aircraft. FlightGear's well established rating system for aircraft is how aircraft are judged by users and how the project suggests aircraft to users.
