In Topic: A340 Fuel Burn?

26 March 2020 - 06:05 PM

The A340-300 was/is always more fuel efficient than the 777.  The 777's superior cargo capabilities were a major factor in its sales dominance, but that doesn't matter in the AE simulation.  The A346 was overweight--however, its real world fuel burn disadvantage to the 773 is dramatically overstated in AE.

And the 777 can land at SNA. And the 747SP cannot land at WLG—despite Qantas buying them and using them for routes into there. And the 773, 772ER have ridiculous unrealistic range. And the DC10 has the same fuel consumption as the MD11. This game is fun but only loosely related to real world experience.

They haven't even added a photo of the A321neo and still refer to the A220 as the C-Series.  I don't think anyone will be adding this ever...

That's not exactly correct.

 

As I mentioned, I am getting a charge for "Boeing 757/767 (Base Cost)" which seems to cover only the 757 and 767-200 models.  I have another charge for "Boeing 767 (Base Cost)" which covers the 767-200ER, 767-300, and 767-300ER.  All of the 767 A/C are sold in the "store" under the "Boeing 767" heading.

 

I agree that the game sets it up as you say for other models, even if that doesn't appear to be realistic.  But there does appear to be an error with respect to the 767-200 model.
