Unclear error message when giving an input of large values for age field #3461

Open nus-pe-bot opened 1 year ago

Steps to reproduce: Add a plane with age of very large values such as 1000000000000000000.

I think the error message mentioning try using an integer instead will confuse users because they are not working in tech industry, thus 1000000000000000000 is an integer to them as well. But given that these kinds of inputs are extreme, I think this is just a low severity feature flaw.

What is the likelihood of a plane that has an age of 1000000000000000000? The solar system would have exploded by then.

Granted, it would be better to improve the error message later on, but we feel that this should not be considered as in the current scope.
