Things I'd like to see, will add good suggestions I find in the comments of this post.
Suggestions:
1. Lights (for night flights and cars)
2. Propellers
3. Scram/ramjet engines
4. Lasers (for LAWS or Laser Weapons System for aa)
5. More activation groups / key binds
6. Larger build space (camera movement limit is annoying)
7. Detailed painting
8. Parachutes
9. Larger guns (for ships and land-based vehicles)
10. Teleport for the unnamed bigger aircraft carrier (second thought, nevermind)
11. Programmable parts ex: if touching ground turn motor 90° or if throttle <25% extend landing gear. (Basically automation)
12. Colored smoke.
13. Reverse thrust (for landing)
14. Wind conditions
15. All cockpits are cameras
May add more later.
You could ask people to mods guns so that the color is changed to red or green and have them mods the rate of fire so that it look like a laser. There is a smoke Midland a light mod. But I do believe there will be lights and possibly smoke trails in the next update. The whole part of having the USS Jundroo or Beast as a non saved location is to make it a challenge for the player.
In the build space, I'd like to be able to change the background, so grey or black planes will actually show up in screenshots. It would also be nice to be able to have access to gear & VTOL controls, so you could do screenshots showing your plane in different configurations.
Cameras that work as cocpits would really make making drones and cruise missiles easier. The updates I'd like to see are manually (TV) guided missiles and glide bombs.
Just land on the Beast and save the location. (My cargo VTOL might help you landing on the beast)
"Unnamed Big carrier" it's called the USS Beast
