Air Designer Improved

Description
Despite being broken for quite a long time, all game breaking bug should have been fixed !



What if the Aircraft Designer was more complex? The new air designer released by Paradox last update is cool, but it lack the level of detail the Tank designer had.

Introducing the "Air Designer Improved", with even more modules to pick to perfectly re-create your favorites planes of World War Two.



What does this mod do
Planes modules are now assigned like in the naval designer. Each modules slots equals a place of the aircraft.
At the top of the designer, you can now put modules on the wings (slots 1 to 3), on the flaps (slot 4), determine how the wings of your aircraft will be put (slot 5),
At the bottom of the designer, you can pick wich kind of engine you want to use (slot 1), and pick modules from the nose to the tail of the aircraft. Due to my changes, you will have to manually pick the role of your aircraft in the last slot.

You will have to think where to put the engines on your plane, at the nose for more fighters modules, on the wings for more bomber modules, or on unconventional place like at the rear or on top of the wings.

The fuselage of your aircraft is a required part of your design, will you chose a conventional monoplane, or something more exotic like a biplane or a flying wing. Also chose empennage modules to get a tail better suited for your needs.



Compability
THIS MOD WILL HAVE COMPABILITY PROBLEMS WITH :
-mods who changes the air tech tree
-other mods who changes the air designer in any way (including changing the stats of some modules)

This mod do not changes the 'history' files. It will be compatible with mods who adds new countries, focus, etc...
But it will not add updated planes design to countries that are not in the base game.
If you are modder and want to have more compability with this mod, I added a global_flag "aircraft_designer_improved_actived" so you can check if the mod is active or not.



Known Bugs
-Focus and decisions creating new planes design or giving planes will only give not working planes
-At the start of the game, all your aircrafts in the stockpile will be broken and have useless stats. You will get a new working stockpile with aircraft with a full name.



Future of this mod
The modules stats will need a rework, any help for that is apperciated
If you know how to do art, your help is welcome as the mod is kind of ugly.

WAFFEL E100, if a mod hasn't been updated in a while and a major patch has been released since, assume the mod is incompatible with the latest patch.

I had a problem with the mod where divisions and capitals are moved higher than they normally would be.

@Элестей Because they're vanilla planes, which don't work with the mod. Disband the air unit and create new ones with modded designs, or wait for the old planes to be replaced. You can tell which is which because vanilla planes don't have a speed stat (hence why they won't move).

Why can't planes fly to airfields?

Hi, not sure if I'm maybe just missing something but it appears that the Paradrop Module doesn't actually let you use the aircraft for dropping paratroopers. It just gives me the notification "Need at least 50 transport planes" when I try to set up a paradrop plan
