Why is my a340-200 more fuel efficient than 777-200er?

11 January 2014 - 11:23 PM

So I'm looking at my OKA-IAH route, where I have a340-200 and 777-200er flying.

 

A340-200 has 4 engines, each with a fuel flow of 39,936, and the per-flight fuel cost is $283,404

 

777-200er has 2 engines, each with a fuel flow of 45,203, and the per-flight fuel cost is $325,084

 

How in the world is the a340 cheaper? By my estimation it should use almost twice as much fuel, especially considering it travels slower than the 777.


Delivery Date for 777-300

Hi I've been playing this game for about a week and so far everything has made sense.

 

But I just preordered the Boeing 777-300 (launch customer).

 

It says "delivery starts" for that aircraft on April 8, 1998. Historically the first 773 was delivered in May 1998.

 

But I just preordered a number of them and I won't get the first until 2003. What gives?

 

No one else in my game has currently ordered any of them besides me.
