#208040 Are aircraft stats accurate?

Posted by elpiloto on 04 February 2016 - 03:20 AM in New Players and Questions

This is also the case for the 737NG.

 

Boeing 737-600 $46,000,000 $511,111 149 528 mph 3,539 mi (4,718 max) 30 min  1998- 2 weeks
Boeing 737-700 $52,000,000 $577,778 149 528 mph 3,452 mi (4,603 max) 35 min Winglets 1998- 2 weeks
Boeing 737-800 $61,000,000 $677,778 189 528 mph 3,194 mi (4,258 max) 35 min Winglets 1998- 2 weeks

 

Again, from wikipedia, with winglet (not saying it's 100% correct, just a quick reference and probably not too far off):

 

737-600 WL: 3,225 nmi (5,970 km)

737-700 WL: 3,440 nmi (6,370 km)

737-800 WL: 3,115 nmi (5,765 km)

 

The 737-600 has a shorter range than the 737-700, and in fact the range of the -600 and -800 are similar, but AE has it such the range are ordered -800 << -700 < -600.  

 

 

Where can I report these? Sorry, I am quite new here.




#208034 Are aircraft stats accurate?

Posted by elpiloto on 04 February 2016 - 02:48 AM in New Players and Questions

How accurate are the aircraft stats in AE? There are some aircraft that I feel like should perform quite similarly, but looking at their stats they are quite different.

 

One example is the 787 vs A330ceo.  Below are the stats given by AE, notice how the range of the 787 is always much higher than the A330.

These are the states from Wikipedia, which are suppose to be from airport planning document from the manufacturers. Here the ranges between the A330 and 787 are more similar, and one shouldn't have too much problem swapping between A330 and 787. 

 

 

 

Aircraft        Seating (max)   Range

A330-200    406                   8360 mi

A330-300    440                   7300 mi

B787-8        381                   8460 mi

B787-9        420                   8790 mi

B787-10      330 (2-class)    7400 mi

 

 

Can anyone comment on this?




#207853 Operate an aircraft with reduced payload for shorter runaway

Posted by elpiloto on 30 January 2016 - 10:40 PM in New Players and Questions

Ya I was using Q400 NextGen rather than Q400. The NG can't operate out of city center, but Q400 can.

#207832 What happens when a world ends

Posted by elpiloto on 30 January 2016 - 06:34 PM in New Players and Questions

I just started here, so I am still trying to understand everything that's going on.

 

One question I have is, what happens when the world ends? Currently I am in one of the sandbox worlds (S4D), at April 5, 2029, and the world is due to end in 2030. So when that happens, does everything disappear? Did I just waste my effort trying to start an airline there?




#207813 Operate an aircraft with reduced payload for shorter runaway

Posted by elpiloto on 30 January 2016 - 02:03 PM in New Players and Questions

Is it possible to operate an aircraft out of an airport that, normally doesn't have a long enough runway, but by reducing the number of seats, it should be able to takeoff? A real world example is Porter Airlines, operating Q400 out of CYTZ, but instead of configuring the aircraft with 78 seats, it only has 70 seats.

 

I can't seem to get Q400 to operate out of CYTZ, hence the question.
