Long time no see, party people. A new person has taken over development of Aircraft as you've no doubt seen on the mod portal since the advent of Space Age. I was out of the community for a time and didn't take notice until I was recently contacted.

Starting today, I've given MeteorSwarm ...

Any chance of getting a logistics requests tab in aircraft, similar to the Spidertron logistics tab?

I would like to maintain your mod, as I used it fairly often.

That's wonderful! I'm currently waiting a few days or so (1-3) to see what kind of people are interested before deciding, so I'll make sure to get back to you.

1.7.1 is now out which should fix aforementioned crash.

Hi all, I'm looking for a new person to maintain the mod because I just lost interest in Factorio a while ago. I have a Reddit thread open in case anyone wants to have some input on this.

EDIT: I'll be taking a look at fixing the bug reported above this before then so don't worry

Thanks for linking my mod!

First of all, my apologies for not asking for permission to use your icon, I didn't find this forum until now.

Secondly, I have a pretty big favor to ask, you by no means have to do this but is it possible for you to make shadowless versions of the airplane sprites for ...

New Korean translation, thanks to GimoXagros.

I remembered that nearly two years ago someone requested a non-combat version of this mod, so I have (finally) complied and released the non-combat mode! It disables all aircraft except the cargo plane.

EDIT: 1.5.1 includes German and Japanese translation updates, thanks to ST-DDT and shelaf.

New Italian translation, thanks to Linver!

Minor patch to fix crash on loading with Alternative Oil Processing.

I don't know enough about how the script works to integrate and maintain it

Can I ask why you would want this? In your example, it unbalances it from 2 miners on either lane, to 3 on 1 lane and 1 on the other. That seems like a regression to me, as it would make it so you would need to balance the belts afterwards anyways.

They enable automatically as long as they're in the aircraft grid.
