Douglas/Mcdonald Douglas production bug

I'm in The small world server S3B and I can only order a very limited amount of aircraft from these 2 manufactures combined

Everyone is faced with the same bottleneck.........it appears only 1 - 2 aircraft per week can be delivered to the whole server .......that's all airlines.

If I want to order the earliest deliver is over 6 months away !

What's going on ?

Not quite.

You can overlap the 737 Classic and Jurassic models .......they have separate production lines. 

Douglas Aircraft and McDonald Douglas share the same production line even though they are listed as 2 separate aircraft manufactures.

There is no other example of this in the game that I know of and I think at one time they did not share the same production line during this timeline starting in 1985.

That caught me by surprise and if I had know this I would not have ordered any DC-9s.......because that prevents you from ordering the superior MD-80 line.

There's a good reason for this. The MD-80 family was based off of the DC-9 (https://en.wikipedia...l_Douglas_MD-80), so it does make some sense to place the DC-9 and MD-80 on the same production line. (Personally, I don't think they should be placed on the same production line so long as the 737NG, 737C, and 737J aircraft are in separate families.)

If we were talking real world here then that would make sense.

But this is AE and it makes no sense.

Did you try contacting one of the data collectors about this? Or using the bug tracker?

I only have one comment:

It is MCDONNELL Douglas

It is not MCDONALD Douglas

Please get the correct name before complaining about it.

Thank you. Xx

Yeah, when I saw this I thought of McDonald's.

I must confess even when it's spelled the correct way I still think of McDonald's a bit.

I stand corrected.

And I have to apologize...........I didn't realize how important you are but after seeing the size of your advertising it must be true.
