About the Features Category

The purpose of this category is to have a place for users to request new features to be added in-app, and for other users to vote on these to indicate if they would like to see this feature.

Note: Votes are a great way to show your support for features you want to see in-app, however a high vote count alone does not indicate that the feature will be added as there may be other constraints that prevent this

Forum related feature requests must be posted in the #meta category instead


Only TL2 members and above can post in this category. Voting is open to everyone.


As well as our Guide to the Community, the following rules apply within this category when posting:

  • Media used must be public/non-copyright and include a link to the original source
  • Do not add more than 1 feature in a feature request (e.g. if requesting a particular aircraft, only 1 variant can be added and a new post is required for another variant)
  • Do not make more than 2 feature requests per day
  • Only use 1 image per post*
  • It must include at least one of the below tags
  • Don’t forget to vote for your own feature!

*Up to 3 images can be included for generic livery feature requests as listed below

Aircraft Livery Requests

The following additional rules apply within this category when requesting aircraft liveries:

  • Only current and permanent liveries for a specific airline may be requested, or if the airline is no longer flying, the permanent livery when it ceased operations (alliance liveries such as Oneworld and Star Alliance are also permitted)
  • Only liveries for aircraft in-app or confirmed as in development may be requested
  • Requests for new liveries on aircraft that are still on order with an airline (i.e. not currently operating/in service) are not permitted (this is due to the unpredictable nature of airline deliveries and the lack of reference photos for artists - once the livery enters service a request may be created)
  • Feature requests may not be created for temporary or special liveries (such as for events or raising awareness). Avoiding these often complex designs (e.g. AeroMexico “Quetzalcóatl” on the B787-9) will ensure that our primary focus is on representing as many airlines as possible in-app
  • “Retro” liveries are only permitted for a specific airline that have discontinued that aircraft type (e.g. British Airways “Landor” livery for the DC-10 etc.). “Retro” liveries on current aircraft within an airline (e.g. to celebrate its history) are considered special liveries and therefore not permitted
  • In cases where an operator has various/unique liveries for each aircraft within their fleet, one feature request should be created for that aircraft type as a generic livery request . The topic must include a list of the various liveries available (or a link to a source which contains them), and no more than 3 images to show some of the different types of liveries currently in use (e.g. feature request for “A320 Condor Livery”, includes a list of the different designs available, up to 3 images to show some of the different colored stripe designs that are currently in use on the A320 aircraft, and then if available, a link to where these can be found online)
  • Frontier liveries are dealt with on a case by case basis but are unlikely to be permitted on the A320 series aircraft due to the large number already present in-app

Temporary or special liveries may be added periodically, however these will be selected internally by Infinite Flight

3D Airport/Object Requests
  • 3D airport/object requests are currently not allowed (including airports, ATC facilities, buildings and objects etc.)

It is Infinite Flight’s mission to add all airports, with a continued effort to diversify airport objects and introduce custom towers (based on airport usage data)


The following tags can be used in this category:

Tag Name Purpose
#aircraft Used for a feature request related to a specific aircraft type
#atc-request Used for a feature request related to ATC
#livery Used for a feature request related to a specific aircraft livery
#misc Used for any feature request that does not fall into one of the other categories
#user-interface Used for a feature request related to the User Interface
#weather Used for a feature request related to the weather

When will my feature be added?

We are never able to provide estimates on when (if ever) a particular feature will be added, here are some of the reasons for this:

  • Multiple factors are taken into account before a new feature is added (this includes business reasons, real data/analytics, forum votes, and social media temperature/trends)
  • There may be technical limitations that prevent your feature being added
  • We are “community-driven” but the final decision will always rest with our staff team
  • There may also be occasions where we have to remove liveries or features due to technical/non-technical reasons

Feature Category Change Log | Liveries

Requests for new liveries that are still on order with an airline and not actually operating in service yet are not permitted due to the unpredictable nature of airline deliveries and the lack of reference photos for artists. Once the livery enters service a request may be created.

Requests for liveries that are already active such as the Azul Airlines A350-900 or Hawaiian Airlines 787-9 may remain open. Future livery requests should follow the above guidance and only be created once the livery has officially entered service.

This allows for available reference materials and avoids calls for removal of “unrealistic” liveries if deliveries or deals fall through. Thank you for your attention!

Feature Category Change Log | Liveries

Only liveries for aircraft in-app or confirmed as in development may be requested

In order to remain focused on feature requests that we can deliver on, livery requests for aircraft that are currently not in-app are no longer permitted (unless the aircraft has been confirmed as in development).

We encourage all community members to create and vote on the feature requests for the actual aircraft type that they would like to see within Infinite Flight. Thank you!

Feature Category Change Log | Liveries

There are a few operators that have unique liveries for each aircraft (or a group of aircraft) within their fleet, rather than just one livery for all aircraft. Our current rules do not really cover this. To prevent a feature request being made for every livery available, the following rule has been introduced to allow the community to be able to make one generic livery request per aircraft type instead:

In cases where an operator has various/unique liveries for each aircraft within their fleet, one feature request should be created for that aircraft type as a generic livery request. The topic must include a list of the various liveries available (or a link to a source which contains them), and no more than 3 images to show some of the different types of liveries currently in use (e.g. feature request for “A320 Condor Livery”, includes a list of the different designs available, up to 3 images to show some of the different colored stripe designs that are currently in use on the A320 aircraft, and then if available, a link to where these can be found online)

Note: Frontier liveries are dealt with on a case by case basis but are unlikely to be permitted on the A320 series aircraft due to the large number already present in-app

If the feature request is chosen as a livery to be included in a future update, then we will decide which exact livery is included with a community poll (please note that this is subject to change based on design/time constraints or other internal factors).
