Aircraft - what is missing?

[Sami]

https://www.airwaysim.com/Information/Aircraft

Check the list and let me know what's missing... (no cargo planes (yet), and no business jets or GA aircraft as it's airline simulation here)


The ones I have noticed so far:

+ DC-8, the later variants
+ All Convair products
+ Lockheed Constellation
+ DH Comet
+ Handley Page Hermes
+ Vickers Vanguard
+ Cessna 400 series
+ Cessna F406 Caravan
+ Pilatus PC-12 (?)
+ Martin 2-0-2
+ Martin 4-0-4
+ HS121 Trident
+ Caravelle
+ Bristol Britannia
+ Airspeed Ambassador
+ Early Boeing models
+ Vickers Viking


Some models that are launched in the distant future cannot be added unless there is enough accurate data for it. The game requires accurate payload vs. range information, data of the aircraft's weights (like OEW, MTOW, max ZFW etc), so it's not just a list of aircraft models with a photo like somewhere else. For example the Mitsubishi Jet that is on the list cannot be actually bought in the game as it's still missing this weight & range data but it will be added as they make more specs available.

How bout the DC-9? 

Hawker Siddeley HS 748E?

[Sami]

Check the list... those are there.

welll, some of the eairlier Boeings, such as the 247 and the other one

I can do that one. The B377 and the 314 also I can do.

[Seattle]

I can do that one. The B377 and the 314 also I can do.

their easy....I want to do them... plus you dont have the list of what you need

[SpeedbirdUK]

Are you including a seperate aircraft profile for "Retro Fits" (With Winglets)

E.g Boeing 727, Boeing 737, Boeing 757?

Also i don't see the BAe ATP?

[love_bus]

I remember suggesting something similar before, where you can purchase aircraft addons/upgrades to improve performance etc... (lower noise levels, add winglets etc...). to this day you can still buy addons and improvements for the 737-200 etc... Most are from private manafacturers and so fourth.

i don't think you missed much on that aircraft list. morely those aircraft addons and enhancements.

[Seattle]

You'd be surprised. there are quite a few wholes from before 1980.

[Sami]

ATP is already on the list.

For the feature of winglet and hushkit upgrades, that's not planned yet. But if it will be implemented, it's an upgrade to existing aircraft, not listed as separate aircraft models as that's not realistic (as the models listed on the page are the "factory spec" models that you can order when the plane is new). Perhaps in the future, that's not so essential anyways as the airport noise restrictions/curfews aren't featured either yet.

What is the earliest date AirwaySim is starting from?

in 1950's - 1960's for example BOAC/BEA had these aircraft in service:

Airspeed Ambassador - Primary User BEA - 23 Built
Boeing 377 'Stratocruiser' - Primary User Pam Ann/BOAC - 56 Built
Canadair C4 'Argonaut' (Development of the DC4, 22 Built for BOAC)
Handley Page Hermes - Primart User BOAC - 29 Built
Vickers Viking V.1A - Primary User BEA - 164 Built
Vickers Vanguard - Primary User BEA - 43 Built

Also would you consider the helicopters used by the BEA Helicopter Service?

Bell 47J and Bell 206
Sikorsky S-51 and S-61N
Westland Whirlwind

Also Boeing 234 (Commercial Chinook, Operated by British Airways)

Call me a little patriotic! only suggestions anyway.

You have done a really good job of putting it all together!

What about smaller aircraft like king airs? tell me what info u need and i can get it (i'm away for this week though)

[Sami]

What is the earliest date AirwaySim is starting from?

It's 1950.

I've added the early Boeing models. Helicopters won't be included as the game engine probably don't understand those (all the runway requirements and stuff) without modifications...

[zillion777]

What about Cessna 172 (4 Seats)and Mooney Bravo(4 seats) will I send you info on those or are they to small ?

[Sami]

As said before, this is an airline simulation software ...

[Cody]

King Air's can be used for smaller airports that only have 100 pax/week or something like that. why fly a B737 to an airport that doesn't have the population to support it. If you tell me what information you need in regards to the aircraft, i will be happy to get some information.

[WilliamH1942]

i dont know if these are planes you would use at these airports..i found a link with a BUNCH of planes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_172
http://www.boeing.com/product_list.html


i just dont want to write them all down

[Powi]

The first post of this thread included a link to https://www.airwaysim.com/Information/Aircraft with a prompt to check if anything is missing. Without looking at your boeing.com link I'm confident that all planes presented there are already included in the game. Good forum etiquette requires that previous posts on the thread are red and understood before posting on it. If you read all of the posts above could you figure out why the Cessna 172 will not be included in the game?

Thanks for your interest anyway.

I guess this is a question of timeframe, but Airbus A350XWB.

A350-800
A350-900
A350-1000

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A350

Specifications are on the bottom of the page.

[Sami]

There's not enough info (in the detail needed) available on the A350 yet so it cannot be added.
