Hi everybody,

The runway lenght at SXM Sint maarten is 7100 ft. So the 747-400 can't land there, but in real world, KLM operates flights to SXM with the 747-400, Maybe can AE make it possible to fly with the 747-400 to SXM, because in real world, it is possible so why not here?

In that case either Range or PAX numbers have to be decreased to take off. Maybe it could be implemented similar to the range-payload-correlation? Like: short runway leads to less range; if range is less than say 10 % of the original range, Payload is decreased.

Yes , probably with (for except) 250 passengers or something.

Variable runway requirements for aircrafts is something that we will consider for later versions of the game. At this stage, we can only use a fixed runway length.

the SXM 747 flighht has a stop inbound and out bound.

Who'd you hear that from?

wouldn't it become to much of micromanagement?

I foresee it being like the range limit: i.e fill the aircraft up so far, and the game will allow you to use less runway.

Well, something the game doesnt account for is how much runway the plane needs to land when it has around 20% full tanks. KLM flies fully loaded 744's because without a bunch of fuel you dont need as much runway as you need if the plane was filled up with fuel.
