Since this seems to be the idea that was most approved of, I’ll give it a separate post. The ability to modify aircraft would be great, such as adding or changing winglets or putting new engines on a old plane. EG Buying a DC9 and buying GE engines to replace the old ones to make it more efficient, shorten runway requirement and increase MTOW. Even the ability to order new planes with P&W or Rolls Royce engines. You could modify the gear to increase MTOW. Needless to say these would be expensive, and tough to put into the game. I have already included this in another idea topic but this got positive thoughts so I am expanding on it.
Cool ideas, although i think there are still some other, more mainline things that need to be added!
AS is an evolving game, and each year they add something new (like the cabin configs for instance). I think we will see a marketing function before a modification option become available..

It is called Performance Upgrade ..... it was announced I think 2 Years ago ..... it is at the moment in a development stage but we ran into some difficulties so it will still need more time untill it will be rolled out.
yea, I will love to have option to make choice of engine, but it nightmare for dev team...
Some options offered in real life for classic aircraft would be indeed nice. For example new hushkits for the MD-80 to allow compliance with Chapter 4. Several operators modified their MD-80s with such new devices.
And oh god the 727hushkits would be nice too (I love the 727 personally)
and the long awaited conversion from pax aircraft to cargo planes....

There are hushkitted (re-engined) Boeing 727s on server "Devau". I think that these 727s are the ones once offered as "Super 27"-aircraft in the 1990s and a few operators opted to modify their 727s.
