Add a visual indicator to show that the aircraft is not available for rental at certain airport

Sometimes when I see the aircraft parked at certain airport but it couldn’t be search (not appear) in the airplane rental lists. At first I thought it might be a bug but Support team suggest that aircraft might not be listed for rent.

Could Simfly helps add an indicator next to the aircraft icon or something, to let us know for the status of that aircraft? Thank you.

I believe that if the aircraft doesn’t appear on the list, it’s clearly understood that it’s not available. Normally, you should assume everything is working, not assume that the system might be failing. And if it were failing, there would be a way to know.

No, Metrocat is referring to when you click on an airport on the map and see an aircraft parked there — not the list of airplanes in the Airplane Rental mission.
And he’s right: we should display a clear indication on the aircraft detail page (for non-owned aircraft) showing that the aircraft has been put up for rental by its owner.
It would also be helpful to show this on the map, in the airport’s parking section, clearly marking that the aircraft is available for rental.

So, he saw the aircraft parked on the map and assumed they were available for rental. However, when he tried to rent them through the Airplane Rental mission, filtering by airport, some of those aircraft didn’t appear in the list.
Of course, that’s because their respective owners hadn’t actually made them available for rental.
His feedback made me realize that we can definitely improve the UI/UX of that section — even before releasing the new design.

We should add an extra tab “For Rent” or “Rentals”

first at the beginning in SIMFLY there were only 2 conditions for the plane green light means that it is operational and is flying or can fly red light means that it is grounded for maintenance after you have added the rental you should also put the YELLOW OR ORANGE light which means that the plane is not in the hands of the owner but has been rented already proposed in another forum.first at the beginning in SIMFLY there were only 2 conditions for the plane green light means that it is operational and is flying or can fly red light means that it is grounded for maintenance after you have added the rental you should also put the YELLOW OR ORANGE light which means that the plane is not in the hands of the owner but has been rented already proposed in another forum.
