Hello Samiiiii!

As roughly detailed in this thread about the 767-200SF (https://www.airwaysim.com/forum/index.php/topic,76859.0.html

The 767-200A could be "converted" into an "ER" spec'd 159 MTOW bird by making use of the dry center bay for fuel and uprating the engines. Histoically, this was done by several airlines that include: AA, TW and UA. https://rzjets.net/aircraft/?parentid=11&typeid=59&frstatus=3

Thus I request that all 767-200A/non-ERs be able to be converted into a 767-200ER (159tn MTOW) version.  Looks like starting in 1985.

Well, we could extend this ability to other airliners like I requested some time ago (https://www.airwaysim.com/forum/index.php/topic,75419.msg442104.html#msg442104), as MTOW change isn't a possibility exclusive for 767s.
