DHC-7 Range

Posted by Strait_Hopper on 10 January 2017 - 11:48 AM

The range of the DHC-7 seems to be far too high (currently 1,668 mi).

There is currently only one type for this aircraft in AE, although there were two main Dash 7 passenger variants (the -100 and -150).

I can't find a super-official source at the moment (working on it), but according to most sources I'm reading, including Airliners.net (http://www.airliners...nada-dash-7/182), I believe the ranges should be:

-100 (into service in 1975): Full payload range of 794 mi (690 nm)

-150 (into service in 1978): full payload range of 1132 mi (1140 nm)

It would be great to A) update the current AE range (according to whichever variant the current aircraft is meant to be) and B ) also maybe add the second variant as an option?


As there are little differences between the aircraft apart from modifications for range, the second model would not be added as I see no benefit to gameplay. I will however research the range.
