but surely it'll come out before 2020

Well...uhhh...yeah no

The A350-1000 was re-certified to increase maximum passenger numbers from 440 to 480 (per wikipedia). Game should reflect this.

Per Airbus' website as of the time of posting this, the max seating capacity of the A350-1000 is 440. This does not seem correct through any stream of logic, as the aircraft is as long and as the 777-300ER. Perhaps they both need correcting. The exit limits on many long haul aircraft are higher than the actual seating capacity - just because 550 people can evacuate per FAA requirements does not necessarily mean 550 can be comfortably/safely/legally seated in the aircraft. Boeing's published 2-class seating (yes, I know this isn't maximum) is 396 for the 777-300ER. The A350-1000 has a range of 350 to 410 passengers in a 2-class config, according to Airbus. I'm not sure where other data can be found to accurately fix this though.
