New aircraft image library

New features

• Complete rebuild of the in-game aircraft image library, covering all ~700 aircraft variants.
  
  
• Higher resolution images for a noticeably cleaner and sharper UI.
  
  
• Consistent quality baseline across all aircraft, including replacements for many older low-quality, blurry, or black-and-white images.
  
  
• Correct variant accuracy: Each aircraft variant has its own dedicated image, matching real-world differences where relevant.
  
  
• New sources: Over 200 images have been re-sourced for better quality and better technical accuracy.
  
  
• Era-appropriate visual styles so the look evolves naturally through aviation history.
  
  
• The update includes new internal automation tooling and workflow for better image management and source tracking.

Other improvements

• Dynamic manufacturer names can now handle complex changes. Example: DHC-7 fleet was first produced by de Havilland Canada, then acquired by Bombardier, then some of the Bombardier's production went to Viking Air, and it later renamed to De Havilland Canada when rest of the production was consolidated.
  
  
• More manufacturer corporate data is added to the Dynamic manufacturer names feature. These include changes of the Canadian aircraft industry (DHC, Bombardier, VikingAir), British aircraft industry (Armstrong, de Havilland, Vickers, Bristol, Hawker, BAC, Scottish Aviation, British Aerospace, BAE Systems), French aircraft industry (Sud, Nord, Aérospatiale) and remaining US manufacturers (Fairchild, Swearingen, Lockeed, Martin). With these updates the Fleet Commonality v.2.0 is now completed and the full historical logic for manufacturer changes (and associated costs) is now present.
  
  
• The aircraft manufacturer name changes are also now posted in Dashboard's Aircraft News.
  
  
• Improved used aircraft price listing mechanism for AI broker listings.
  
  
• Further upgrades to our development stack by modernizing development environment, versioning tools and project management structure.

Fixes

• Country of manufacturing was not correctly shown for A220 fleet.
  
  
• Various small fixes in the backend systems to keep the code clean and up-to-date.
  
  
• Nominal range value for aircraft from used market did not show correctly if an upgrade (winglets etc.) was already installed to the aircraft and seating configuration was being changed during the purchase (display issue only).
  
  
• Fixed an issue where automatic A/B checks could be skipped when the airline was beyond the credit limit and automatic C/D check scheduling was attempted but could not start due to insufficient funds.
  
  
• Fixed additional base airport rules for airlines from the Netherlands and France prior to EU Open Skies.
