Hi, currently a few members of this community are aviation enthusiast and would love to role-play with air vehicles but due to very high prices aren't able to do so due to financial reasons, which includes very overpriced pilot's license price and extremely expensive price for fixed-wings aircraft. The prices for helicopters can stay the same for all I care since those should be expensive as they are extremely expensive in real life. The first problem that most people will say if the prices of aircraft are reduced is that you'll have a lot of players buying them to do low passes over Mirror Park and doing loops all over the place and trying to do 9/11's all over. Well as everyone knows that's breaking the rules and it's bannable, just like taking a semi truck and ramming your way through everything you see. Admins will be pretty quick to identify players doing that. And just like everything owning a vehicle needs to make sense for your character it can't just be a "cool" factor. Just like you don't see gang members driving super cars, they won't be flying airplanes either since that's also against the rules. Don't get me wrong, planes should still be somewhat expensive but they shouldn't be as high as they currently are. I feel like maybe property management could be handling planes/helicopters requests which could eliminate the possible trolls, so we could avoid having them flying all over the place with more affordable airplanes. Since I don't expect many players to be requesting such permissions it shouldn't put too much burden onto PM. It would allowed players that care about aviation role-play to have access to it. Here's my idea of prices for airplanes (Before registration) Western Duster (Currently at 750K ) - 250,000$ Western Cuban 800 (Currently at 730k,) -375,000$ Mammoth Dodo (Currently at 800k) - 350,000$ JoBuilt Mammatus (Currently at 950k) -300,000$ JoBuilt Velum (Currently at 950k) - 400,000$ Jobuilt Velum 5 seater - (Currently at 950k) -460,000$ Buckingham Vestra - 40 KG (Currently-800) 700,000$ Buckingham Nimbus - 40 KG - (Currently 950k) 800,000$ As for the pilot's license price, it's currently sitting at 150,000$ Which is totally bonkers in my opinion and just like some players said to me, no one ever checks for pilot's license in game. The current government has no intention of lowering the prices since it rewards them a massive amount of cash flow from players buying those licenses. Personally I would lower it to 50,000$ which would be a fair price, and would allow for more LEGAL role-play with airplanes. Some said that maybe a test for pilot's should be done, but if that's the case it shouldn't be a scripted test (since that would create insane easy access trolling) but more of general knowledge test about aviation (Very basic) could be done on forums of GOV or something like that. Then after passing such test you could acquire the license for 50,000$ Well now, licenses can only be acquired by role-playing with a flight school which is great news! So now only prices needs to be adjusted! Thoughts?
