Can I haz "Insert plane here" please?

[USA]

If I remember conversations from a long while ago I think aircraft were being added as they began commercial delivery

[Unknown98]

The A319neo will certainly be added at some point seeing as they are already commercially available. I see someone has already added the A321neo.

I have just closed public access to aircraft additions, as we need to go through all of them and confirm that the specifications are correct. Having aircraft be added during that time would make that process difficult.

Hey Unk,

Could you possibly add the A350-1000 to the game? It has been certified for commercial ops on the 21st of November, so it should be available in the game now right?

Also Airbus's A330neo series. Expected Summer 2018
I know they are still testing but can we have the option to "pre-order" the planes

[USA]

For a game in real-time, not sure the benefit to be able to "pre-order" aircraft. It's quite literally not going to be added to the game (under a pre-order scenario) for 7-8 months. Just seems unnecessary imo...

I'll try to remember to find the data for it and add it tomorrow if I get a chance

I don't really want to make a pre-order function, ultimately it wouldn't affect delivery times anyway and there's things I'd rather spend my (limited) coding time on.

What I am planning to do is have a wide variety of planes in the game, new and old. But if the plane is out of production in real life, then you won't be able to buy a new one in-game. You could however get one off the used aircraft market. How that will work is every week or so, the system generates a new mixture of used aircraft and lists them on the used aircraft market. Players can also list their aircraft on the used market.

So yes, you could have your VC-10 or your DC-7, but you wouldn't be able to order a brand new one.

As far as aircraft like the AN-225, not sure what I want to do on those yet. Seeing as there's only 1 (maybe 2?) ever built I don't think I want to add it to the game.

For the AN-225 - I don't know if this has been discussed before or not, but you could just add one to the used market manually, and then let people battle over who can get to it first (or afford it first ).

But there are no cargo routes, so adding 100% cargo aircraft at this time is useless.

Yeah I'll probably add the 787-10 soon, just need to find the stats for it.
