New range of new aircraft showed before you order them.

For example, I want to order some 777-300's, but I don't know what the new range will be after I add my configuration... It says It can fly as much as 6,840nm with 273 seats, but I want to configure them with 427 seats, so the range will me much shorter. Still, I don't think I can tell what it will be before I receive the aircraft. So if there's a way of seeing the new range, please tell me, because I can't find it. ??? If not, It would be a very helpful feature.

Well, right after you place your order, you can go to 'Aircraft on order' and check out your actual range, but that doesn't really solve the problem. So I do agree, Sami, is there a way you could let the range be displayed before we close the deal?

I want to add something to that - Since the range is shorter when there are more seats - how about we can have a program which we can put the desired amount of seats for each engine varient and it will calculate the range for those amounts of seats. It could also be in a map - but that may be too hard.

What if you could click on the range / payload chart to move the point which at the moment shows you the range with defaul conf?

I usually use the chart but it's rather slow and inaccurate somewhat... so yes, needed.

Agreed, this is really needed.
I managed to order a plane with to little range just yeasterday because of this, even though I used the chart.
Thankfully I could edit it afterwards.
