Not yet, but I am working on one (CanAir). What range do you envisage for long range aircraft, like the A380/B777LR ? I implemented these to cover 725 tiles in one hop, i.e. from north to south corner (or east - west) on a 512 x 512 map.

Well, the best solution would be some settings with range multiplier, where you can double or quadruple both short and long ranges, respectively. I was playing on 4x4k custom map and short range av8 aircraft were unusable, while long range were usable on short routes only (relative short according to map distances).

Sorry to necro but I want something like this, scaling in factors of 2 would work (plus rangeless option), and it shouldn't be hard for a newgrf maker to create (I would if I knew how to). You can also scale purchase and running costs while you're at it, like many train newgrfs. Pikkabird, do you still work on newgrfs? I did see you said you no longer update this but this is quite an easy change, easier than adding the newest aircraft models.

Av8 needs working a new version again, it was new version released about 10 years ago (including my proposal of Indonesian translation) and eventually lack of new aircraft/helicopter additionals.

Here's a suggest, if av8 new version development again :
- New Parameter options is Rainbow Company Color (random)
- New aircraft sound effects
- Additional real-life aircrafts/helicopters such as Boeing 787, Airbus A350, Fokker F28 Friendship/Fokker 70/Fokker 100, Fokker F27/Fokker 50, Fokker, Comac ARJ21, Boeing 757, Bombardier CSeries/Airbus A220, Bombardier CRJ aircrafts, Convair aircrafts such as CV-240, 880 & 990, Ilyushin Il-86, Ilyushin Il-96 and more
- For existing aircrafts with current generation should have a next generation upgrades such as :

• Boeing 737 latest gen is '737 MAX' (2016)
• Boeing 777 latest gen is '777X' (2020)
• Airbus A320 latest gen is 'neo' (2015)
• Airbus A330 latest gen is 'neo' (2017)
• Boeing 747 latest gen is '747-8' (2012)
• Douglas DC-9 latest gen is 'Boeing 717 (originally MD-95)' (1998)

- Some passenger aircrafts only accept 'passengers and mails' due to lack of cargo variants

Have you used this kit lately? I suspect at least one of those planes is there. Moreover, it has long been finished and closed. First, finish your projects. I wonder when you will release the finished graphics. Or will you just be banging away at the keyboard?

Hi.
Quick question.
With this newGRf shoul I use 1/1 plane speed? It says so in the mod info but I think it is too much OP

It's just a suggestion - run it at whatever speed suits you.
