Hi everyone,

just a quick Q

The runway available where i have based my airline is short meaning no plane bigger than a '75 can get in/out.
In the real world a330's, 767's etc. fly into this airport..........

If i made the plane lighter (less seats) does that effect runway requirement?

Thanks!

I think it does my 732 and 733 get in and out of Ishigaki 1500m fine

Yes, it does affect. However, instead of reduxing seats, I'd keep them at full number (with possible C and F class if needed), and then just take on board as many passengers as I can. Also, you get more passengers by flying shorter routes, and you could for example make a fuel stop at an airport some 100nm from your hub, so you might just be able to take a full load of passengers.

You can use the open route menu to check and plan these things, ie just select a new route from your airport to XXX, then select the B767 and see what it says about the limits (no need to actually open the route).

I find it very weird that BAe 146s can't fly over like 500 nm from LCY with a full load.

Don't they do this often in real life?

Just something to think about.

Is that the 300/RJ100 model? From my personal experience the smaller models are more popular there. Although 500 does sound a bit low, also consider that all flights are to western europe or scandinavia (not finland.)

Yes it is. -300/RJ100

The think is, in the first beta, I was operating ERJ-195 ADVs on routes to Istanbul and Turkey without annny rwy limitations. And to NA via Shannon ;)

Hey, the demand was there for 100+ seats per day.

Its lower now.... grrr...

The Dash-8-400s I had had rwy limitaions (they were the max MOTW :laugh:)

Weird... ;D

Oh well.

I accidentally declared bankruptcy on my Game 1 airline.... grrrr :o.

So, I'm going for domination in game 3 haha.
