1. In game, Tu-114 consume 8700kg fuel/h and have a range of 3300nmi. But in real life they consume only about 4200kg/h, and their range should also have about 3800nmi for base variant and up to about 5900nmi for D variant with max payload. Please correct them in game.
2. It seems like American airlines can't open base in Guam/Northern Mariana/American Samoa and French airlines can't open base in New Caledonia/French Polynesia? Can that be changed to better reflect reality?

And i think Lockheed starliner have flown SFO-ORY and LAX-LHR against the wind in real life nonstop regularly which in airwaysim they would probably face some restrictions ....

If you have actual documents / flight manuals/ technical paper that you can reference for the Tu-114, post a bug report with that information. I've never seen changes made to a plane spec based on Wikipedia and other non-authoritative sources.

I've had a number of bases in GUM as a us based airline. My small regional operation has one now in gw3.

The starliner will fly those routes just fine and without a restriction as long as you have seating configured to match demand proportions. Though, use of the starliner like that in the 60's isn't a great idea as it becomes too small for the route very fast..

Where should I post a bug report?
And found an old advertisement from aeroflot showing Tu-114 doing 11000km Moscow-Havana route http://avia-simply.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/prospekt.jpg

If you read the page that the image comes from, it says for the plane to reach Havana, it would have to be configured with 55-60 seats. In reality, it looks like it used a stopover u til the US applied pressure to that airport to keep it from happening and then the route was cancelled.

If I'm not mistaken, the current setup if the Tu-114 in game should give similar results to what the article says... So...

humm.. that original page mentioned after several flight the route is later done with a stopover at Murmansk. It also mentioned that return trip with favorable condition it can do nonstop.
Not sure about payload restriction in this situation...
edit: hum the payloaod restriction is 5t. So the AWS figure is about 1000nm less than its actual performance?
