Hi all,

I just found the APD for the C919.
It appears there is also a ER version available for the Chinese A320 competitor.
Could this be added to the game?

Also it appears the current version has a more restrictive payload range graph ingame.

See page 115 http://www.comac.cc/fujian/c919acap_en.pdf

Kind regards,

Any sources for fuel usage so I could do a complete update on the data, now that the plane has actually flown and is no longer a prototype.

Hi, I am a Chinese user. Fuel usage is not provided in the manufacture's published manual, yet I've discovered from one calculation from a Chinese discord web (https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/571614038) that the C919ER contains 3.8tons more fuel than the C919STD, which brings more 1.54hr cruise time (698nm). Hence the hourly fuel burn of C919 at cruise stage might be 2.467 t/h, and the overall fuel burn may lay around 2.5 t/h.
Actually, the first commercial C919 have been delivered to China Eastern in DEC 2022 and the second aircraft is currently at its delivery test. It might be a great idea to update this new aircraft model into the database.
