when do A320/A321 freighters come in

[groundbum2]

I'm in GW3, and I saw a changelog that said A320-200F and A321-200F have been added to the AWS database. Anybody know what year approx these puppies will be available?

Airbus really do get shafted when it comes to freight options!

It's no different than any other modern narrowbody conversion that's made available. The 737-NG-F's show up around the same time, and the 737 classic/MD80's don't get their conversion for a long time after their launch as well.

Therefore, it creates a strategic choice for you on which fleet types to operate. Do you operate an old passenger type that has a freighter companion? or do you sacrifice freighters for a better passenger plane?

does anybody have the specs for the A320-200F and A321-200F models, I'm thinking range and cargo capacity? Do they both appear as conversions at about the same time, 2017ish?

Many thanks,

Simon

A320-200F, basic range is 2000nm with max cargo capacity 21000kg, fuel burn 2370-2390 kg/hr
A321-200F, basic range is 2080nm with max cargo capacity 27505kg, fuel burn 2700-2740 kg/hr

They both appear at the same time in 2017

757-200F is range 2490 capacity 38,000 fuel 3880kg/hour.
757 vs 320, fuel +62%, capacity +82%
757 vs 321, fuel +43%, capacity +39%

It could be worth flying my 757-200Fs way way way way to the end of their lives.. Do I remember the production line closes hard after 35 years?

Think it's 35 years from the end of last real life delivery, which was Nov 2005 I believe, so 757 at least should be good till game's end.
