Issues I've Posted

    MD-81 and MD-82 range issues

    Posted 17 May 2024

    MD-82 has shorter range than IRL ( 2102 ingame compared to ~2359 IRL). Sources: https://skybrary.aero/aircraft/md82 https://www.globalai...ons?specid=1011

     

    MD-81 has significantly longer range than IRL (2244 ingame vs ~1800 mi IRL) Sources: https://skybrary.aero/aircraft/md81 https://www.airliner...md-81828388/109

     

     

    These issues makes the MD-82 and MD-88 effectively useless. (Not that this would make the MD-88 worth it but I digress). 

    Interestingly, the MD-88 which also flies 2050 nmi, has correct range ingame, and has no differences from the 82 apart from EFIS, so idk whats up there. 


    777-300 (and ER) Range MASSIVELY incorrect

    Posted 9 May 2024

    Should be 6910 mi in-game for the 777-300, not 8000. https://skybrary.aer...y of aircraft. 

     

    In Fact, according to Boeing, it should be around 4000 nmi with no auxiliaries. The range is hilariously incorrect ingame.

    The 777-300ER also needs ~100 mi more range, according to the Boeing spec sheet: https://www.boeing.com/commercial/777

    (from 8318 to 8481)


    A340-300 and A330-300 Range incorrect, partially why A340-300E is so bad

    Posted 7 May 2024

    Links to airbus site talking about A340-300 and A330-300:
    https://www.airbus.c...amily/a340-300 

     

    https://aircraft.air...ility/a330-300 

       

     

     

    https://www.aircraft...-300 SPECS.pdf 

     

    TL;DR, the A340-300 standard should have around 7652 mi of range, and the A330-300 should have around 7301 mi of range.The A340-300E should have 8285 mi of range. The A340-200 should *technically* have another version called the A340-2000 with TONS of range but that's neither here nor there. The main issue is that the A340-300 has way more range than its supposed to, which makes the A340-300E complete crap.
