Adding Aircraft
#1
Public access to aircraft addition has been disabled.

To request an aircraft we need:

Manufacturer:
Model:
Max Seats: (high density one-class layout)
Range: (max range at MTOW, in miles)
Runway requirement (takeoff run at MTOW, in feet)
Speed: (typical cruise speed, in mph)
# of engines:
Engine Type: (prop/jet)
Max Fuel Capacity (in US gallons)
Operating Empty Weight: (lbs)
MTOW: (lbs)
Family: (737 Classic, 737 NG, etc)
Entered Service: (year the aircraft first entered service. Not necessarily the first year of production)
Stopped production: (year the aircraft stopped production, if applicable)
Price: (list price, in US dollars, at the time the aircraft was last sold. Do not adjust for inflation)


I've completed the form so ya'll can add aircraft now, in addition to airports. I've added the link on the page where you add airports, but here's a direct link: -redacted-

Again, like airports, if you want to add aircraft just be sure that all the information you enter is as accurate as possible and in the correct unit of measure. The system will validate the fields for format errors and duplicates but can't catch mistakes in data.

I've also added links to the list of aircraft so you guys can see what's already in the game. Let me know if you have any questions or see something that could be improved.

Great addition unk! Are there any time-frame restrictions on the airports we may add, or can we go back as far as we wish? (also as far in the future)

Oh yeah, good question. I assume you meant aircraft, not airports. Don't add anything that isn't already in-service, but as far as historical aircraft and aircraft that are no longer manufactured, yes definitely add those. Those will show up on the used aircraft market.

I'll need to edit the form & the database real quick now to account for aircraft that are no longer manufactured, give me a second lol.
-edit- should be good now

But how should we go about pricing for aircraft no longer in production? For example the DC-3 list price is ~$80,000. But that was in 1936. Now they are going for $4-5 million.

Not really sure, maybe scale up for inflation on the price of when the aircraft first launched?

And not sure if this has been discussed yet or not, but are we doing one solid price? Or are we giving discounts for larger purchases, which happen in the industry.

Scaling up for inflation is one way we could do it. Just enter the list price as it was when the plane was being sold, and then have a formula scale up the price to today's figures.

I'm actually working on that now. Discounts will be applied based on number ordered, and you'll also be able to split how you pay for the aircraft between on order/on delivery.

Awesome, I've already compiled info long ago, so i'll just dump that in single file. Smile

It's a bit hard to find OEW in gallons, as those are a measure of volume, not mass...having some trouble there

EDIT: The label said 'gal' but the hint/description said 'lbs'. Managed to put it in. However, even though I put '0' in the stopped production field, the form won't let me submit the plane and says "Stopped Production is required".

Oh. sorry. Guess thats why they say not to copy/paste code... Rolleyes

For some reason it thinks "0" is the same thing as leaving the box empty, not sure why that is. Anyway, should all be fixed now.

I added the A319, but messed up the naming a bit (sorry)...Unk, I'd be very grateful if you could change it to A319-100 so it fits with the format of the other Airbuses...
