Any update plans for new Combi / Freighters?

YAY yyyyy 

This will certainly spice up the final decade of long GWs - however, just a thought here Sami....  If we don't get the introduction to the Gws of this model until 2022 then if a game finishes in 2035 do folk really have sufficient time to get a fair share each of this model and see the benefits of it?  Maybe stretch timescales a bit and allow introduction of it in say 2020 already and then maybe lengthen GW to 2040..... ?

The linked PDF seems to have enough data. Of course that is still preliminary, but should be okay based on these.

omg Christmas came in February! Any chance 350F/787F will be added to current TMT??? Pretty please?

I couldnt find a single official doc for the 787f. Hopefully seome can find the specs

Also, I found the specs for the 777-300ersf:

Additionally, very rudimentary specs on 777-8f are available from boeing too:

Also I wholeheartedly agree with this, world ran to 2035 when i started the game 5 years ago. Now with planes that would launch in 2025 available, worlds like MT should definitely look to end in 2040 now that more and more planes are avilable from 2020 onwards

We dont even have all the actual combi's yet.

707-320C is a combi aircraff, they came with a cargo door.
In fact, its nuts you have to pay to convert to the CF because the door is already there so you just take the seats out....

I would love to see also the Quick Change planes of the 1960s and 1970s (e.g. the B727-100QC), which had the capability to be converted in 2 hours from 100% passenger (for day operations) to 100% cargo (for night operations) and vice-versa... Braniff, among others, utilized them a lot.

True. We also miss the Combi versions of the DC-9 (10 and 30 series), of the Fokker F-28, of the BAC 1-11, etc.

And what about the Canadair CL-44, based on the Bristol Britannia, used by Loftleidir and other carriers in the 1960s and 70s?

But to compensate, we can buy/lease the rather obscure AW 650 Argosy... ;-)

Not to mention the BAe.146QT !

Most of the real life Argosies were actually full freighters, sadly that version is missing from the game.
In its combi form, hugely underrated by many players (IMHO), probably due to its looks?
