Hi Anders My intention is not a "better" split of fgdata somehow, not a technical perspective perhaps, it is a model to give more responsability to aircraft developers who wants to build (or keep) there own "developing units", all under the same licence, the hangar still belongs to the community, but the single aircraft developers will get more power. I think you can’t give people more responsability when you miss to give more power too. I confess I was not thinking about "how to prevent people from deleting history or add/delete aircrafts". But also I do not understand why one could split to single aircraft repos without loosing history and this should not be possible for hangars, today and/or in future. The idea of hangars did not collect that much encouraging feedback, so I think I give it up now ;-) Thanks for checking the idea anyway.
