First, amazing software.  Saves many many hours to do it manually and working great for MSFS. A few suggestions to consider for future.

- Option to add mip maps to textures.  Or maybe there is some reason mip maps not beneficial in MSFS?

- Option to reduce texture size.  For AI aircraft 1024x1024 may be sufficient for many of us.

- Option to rollback night textures.  Should only need a single light map for each model instead of separate light maps for every livery.

- Option to enable/disable all the special liveries.  One livery per airline/model is sufficient for some of us.

- Option to disable AI aircraft sounds.

- Ability to substitute liveries.  For example, to manually get rid of obsolete liveries.

Couldn't be farther from true. Almost every paint and airline has a different window configuration.

Think this one is enough to explain why it's not there: https://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=35459.msg351203#msg351203

Sadly not possible. That will require flightplan that don't include those and imagine how long it will take to get that done for all +1800 airlines. Plus the flightplans are also for people that loves getting everything. It's a compromise we had to make, and the quality with as many liveries was selected.

Will happen when updated flightplans are being released. And airlines that are going defunct will be mentioned as "Outdated" in the overview, so it can be deleted by you.
