History is great, I like it, but beware, the game isn't history (I flew all the Brabazon committee in USSR during the 50s and 60s... :laugh:).
Don't try to put up something that looks nice, but something that works. Once you know all the tricks, then you can be adventurous, but not before. The game is quite different from real life (it is a game, with all the pros and cons), so history can be a real trap.
Yes, I understand that the game is different but I just want to have a bit more knowledge of those "odd birds" that might be useful and which I never saw before in my flying career  :)
It is difficult though, for me, not to put in personal feelings as I did work in the business..I think it might be a burden for me in this game  ;D

Sorry, I was wrong..1500nm for the Saab was at long range cruise speed..not 370 kts  :-\
Yes, maybe I go for that, upgrading to F50 and wait for Saab or ATR, it sounds good.

No need to upgrade to the F50 if you go directly for the Saab or ATR, the F.27 can comfortably make it :)

I completely understand, and you're not the only one around, by far. I was only saying that reason should prevail. Got a few friends here that dream about the 747, but they wait until they have the right base and demand to use it (hint: you cannot use it as IRL ;)).
But otherwise, yes, document yourself, that's great, I do the same. Woow that Tu-114... :o ;D

OK that is better I guess, since the Dcheck on F27 is not so heavy  :D

Now we are talking!  :D
You know, my dad gave me these records and booklets on a trip to London (pic) It was 1964 and I was 10 yrs old! I guess it all started there.. Ohh, that VC-10! ;D

F50 may be a worthy upgrade if you want to add business class seating. (If the demand is there)

Ok, might be coming but now 1965 there are only C1 demand on a few routes  and that is not much to think about  ;)
