747-8
(1/1)
welshsct:
Quick question around the above aircraft
When i compare it to the 747-400 it has less seats and the same cruise speed.
Is this correct? i've had a look at the Boeing site and it states that is seats upto 467 in a 3 class configuration and a cruise speed of .855
Which doesn't match the set up in the game of 321 seats and .85 cruise speed
Sigma:
The speed is because, in AWS, all planes of the same fleet type must go the same cruise speed. It's a limitation of the scheduling design but it rarely amounts to anything worthy of note.
Not sure on the seating. I'd have thought it would have come up previously, but I don't find any discussions on it. I don't think it's supposed to be exactly what Boeing says here, but it should most definitely be more seats than the -400ER for certain, not quite a few less.
kieran900:
Seating capacity on the 747-8 is identical to the 744. Speed is identical, but swapping a route from a 744 to the -8 requires an edit to a new a/c type.
