I think a reset will be good now that I kind of know what I'm doing, What aircraft are best to start with J-31s or BE1s?

[drv4truk]

There will be a reset of the game at 18:00hrs British Summer Time (UTC +1).

That Is All

Oh thank Torquewrench. I was getting bored and AE will give me something to do.

Finally i can get back into the competition, see u all at 18:00 hours.

[g-w-r]

fantastic, at least this time i get a chance at those low numbers lol

[gizgiz]

NOOOO! It's gonna be 4a.m. here! ...and I have school.

Hmm...looks like I'm dead again

[Maestro69]

Sorry, but must we register us again, when the game is resetet?

If u have a previous account, u just need to login with the username and password as before and u can get started...

Unless Torque has changed it, but he would of adviced of any changes by now.

[airline55]

typical, more people trying to get planes #1 and #2. Who had them last time?

[TorqueWrench]

I've already reset the game, being the first person to log in, i've got aircraft #1 and #2. The Game will commence @ 18:00hrs

I've also adjusted the fuel burn on the Triple Seven. I know that it was FAR too expensive to operate and wasn't realistic. I've also reduced the capacity of the A346 from 420 to a more realistic 342.

sounds good!

im dibs on 3 and 4 lol!

hope i can do well this time, already got some routes planned and hope i can get proffit.

Well, that's a good start in changing aircraft configs to a more realistic level!

No need to do them now but my suggestions:
A330-300: 300 pax/5700nm range
A330-200: 250 pax/6250nm range

Remove the 747D from the database.

[TorqueWrench]

Remove the 747D from the database.

Why do you say that?

[WSHNationals]

when is 18:00 BST? it is 10:50 am right now EST

Since u have written new scripts, will the initial 5 gates still be charged in full, even if one returns some of those gates. That was a minor problem in the earliers games..

The 747-400D is basically a -400 minus winglets with a high-density seating config. Believe it or not, ANA has converted a few of their "Ds" to ordinary -400s to fly intl routes due to falling domestic demand.

It's a bit like the DC-10-40 I and D configs which JAL used (while they had the -10s) which could be converted to either config during maintanance.

[TorqueWrench]

That is true, however they are useful on certain routes and so i think they should stay in the game

Hmm, I dug around a little more on the 747D. It's really hard digging information on this bird but I retract my statement on removing it.

However, the bird not only lacks winglets but also some part of the wingtip edges which lowers the weight of the frame but also the MTOW, as it's a "D" config.

This is the only site I've managed to dig up but it states a range for 1,810nm for a 747D

Oh...and crap crap crap!

I gave ranges on the A330 in MILES instead...
A330-300: 295 (3-class) 335 (2-class), 5,650 nm.
A330-200: 253 (3-class) 293 (2-class), 6,750 nm.

and the -200 currently burns more fuel than the larger -300 in the current game. Oh well, that may be for another day!

[TorqueWrench]

The current range on the AE -400D is incorrect...

The reason for not having winglets is to reduce the wing stresses because it is a high cycle aircraft.
