For years Infinite Flight has turned to the #features category to gauge demand for new features and liveries to shape the development pipeline of the future. Forum members use their precious votes to support feature requests and directly impact the way ahead. In typical Infinite Flight fashion, we’re iterating on the way we manage the feature category to ensure your voice is heard in the most direct way possible!
Why the change?
Our initiative aims to further focus feature requests to make sure your limited votes can be used directly on features that can actually be brought to life in Infinite Flight. Due to the endless list of special liveries it is important that we have a clear picture of the airline representation wanted most, not necessarily the livery itself. In addition, an abundance of special liveries can quickly diminish the effect of a one-of-a-kind livery on the ramp. While we can’t add every livery in existence, we at Infinite Flight want to bring you the most desired and current operators roaming the world today!
Feature Request Changes
-
All new feature request topics will now require moderator approval, regardless of a user’s trust level, to ensure the request follows category requirements, is feasible, and not duplicated.
-
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).
-
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.
Note: Temporary or special liveries may be added periodically, however these will be selected internally by Infinite Flight.
How will this change be implemented?
The Infinite Flight team will begin reviewing the forum category and closing any requests which do not meet the new feature category rules and livery standards. Each closed topic will receive a justification and any votes cast for that feature will be returned to the member to be cast on another topic! Unaffected topics will remain unchanged and existing votes cast will still count towards it’s overall count.
To support the feature you want to see most, head to #features and cast a vote!
