It's a plane with the capacity of a B737 with the range of an E190LR, and the E190LR has a delivery time of 2 weeks. Or if the 1 week delivery schedule is supposed to illustrate COMAC's large factories or whatever, then surely the A320 and B737 family should also have a 1 week delivery schedule?

It's no secret that the Embraer E190LR is one of the most popular regional jets both in real life and on airline empires. 114 max seat capacity and 2000 miles range on a fairly fuel efficient airframe and good runway performance is just about ideal for most regional routes in the game. The SJ 100-95LR an almost identical aircraft to the E190LR, except for in one major metric - it has almost 1000 more miles of range over the E190LR. It's literally an E190LR-ER, and is cheaper than the E190LR by about 10 million buckeroos also. Why don't more people operate this aircraft?

I- I'll just post the figures published by Embraer and the links and let you guys decide.

E170STD - 1800 nmi, 3334 km, 2071 mi
E170LR - 2100 nmi, 3889 km, 2416 mi
E170AR - 2150 nmi, 3982 km, 2474 mi
 

E175STD - 1750 nmi, 3241 km, 2013 mi
E175LR - 2150 nmi, 3972 km, 2474 mi
E175AR - 2200 nmi, 4074 km, 2531 mi

E190STD - 1850 nmi, 3426 km, 2128 mi
E190LR - 2400 nmi, 4445 km, 2761 mi
E190AR - 2450 nmi, 4537 km, 2819 mi

E195STD - 1600 nmi, 2963 km, 1841 mi
E195LR - 2000 nmi, 3704 km, 2301 mi
E195AR - 2300 nmi, 4260 km, 2646 mi

And even if we use the payload-range charts, the figures are still different than those in game (Approximate figures due to pulling from a graph)

E170 - 78 pax
E170STD - 1500 nmi
E170LR - 1850 nmi
E170AR - 2050 nmi

E175 - 88 pax
E175STD - 1450 nmi
E175LR - 1750 nmi
E175AR - 2000 nmi

E190 - 114 pax
E190STD - 1450 nmi

E190LR - 1950 nmi
E190AR - 2250 nmi

E195 - 124 pax
E195STD - 1200 nmi
E195LR - 1600 nmi
E195AR - 1750 nmi

In short, if we go off the max published range, the E-jets need a range buff across the board. If we instead go off payload-range charts at maximum capacity, the smaller variants need a range buff while the E195 family gets a slight nerf (1750 nmi = 2013 mi, so the E195AR gets most heavily impacted)

I feel like I should share these bugs that devs have never felt the need to patch to help even the playing field for newer players. Hypocritical of me for even mentioning fairness while running something of a spamline, I know, but idc.

-First, close all flights to that airport. This means that superterminals are only possible at airports you are only starting operations at, unless you want to close all of the flights you have at an existing airport. The other way you could build a superterminal without closing all flights you already have is to start a second airline in the same country as your first airline, but that second airline needs to be able to afford huge terminals, so unless you're doing this at a tiny airport with super cheap terminal fees then you would need to grind both airlines to a point where 200 gates is no longer enough.

-Build a 200 gate terminal, then immediately sell it

-Repeat until you have the number of gates you want. I.e. if you want a 1000 gate terminal, you need to build and sell 5x 200 gate terminals. Do note that there is an upper limit on the number of gate slots that you could have at any airport, being somewhere around 32k. This means that the "ideal" size to build for is around 600 gates.

-Buy back all of those sold terminals, and now you have something of a superhub at your airport.

-Have fun (optional)
