Title: Aircraft fleet
Post by: Ottret on October 28, 2014, 06:03:41 PM
Hi!

I have found this page (https://www.airwaysim.com/Information/Aircraft) to see the aircrafts in the game. Is there a page where i can se which aircraft belongs in the various families?

From the game interface only. (That info page you linked is the only non-game page with aircraft data.)

You can use Aircraft => Compare aircraft for example to search for current / past planes in each game.

Oki... Trying to learn myself on the planes. But i supose if a check on example Wikipedia for the diffrent manufacturer and families they are the same in the game.

I think many of the players have good knowledge of the planes. I dont...  ???

The plane info lists the fleet group, so it's usually fairly obvious which other planes will fit into the family. e.g. 737-300 lane info will show the fleet as 737-3/4/500. DC 8-63 will show the family as DC-8. In 90% of fleetgroups, it's pretty obvious & intuitive which planes will belong to it.

Well... Its the first time i play the "game" and i dont have a clue about diffrent fleet groups. The year is 1972 in the game i playing so its quite difficult for me to know about planes and so for the future of the game.

You have possible played the game before and know things like that. A newbie like me belived that 737 was a single fleet group. But i have just learnd that it divided in to 3 different groups.

Original: 737-100 och -200
Classic: 737-300, -400, och -500
Next Generation: 737-600, -700, -800, och -900

Quite hard to see that in plane info list in year 1972.  ;)

Yeah, you don't know the groups in advance. But you don't really need to. As I said, just take the plane you're interested in, and look at its in-game info, and you'll see under fleet group which planes are part of the same fleet. e.g. for the original 737s, you'll see 737-100/200.
