Airbus

[AzZellon]

Is the Aircraft list outdated ?! Cuz there's a couple of Airbus plane's missing, plus it doesn't make sense that the B787-8 is in-game when the A380 isn't.. B787 hasn't been delivered yet! 

[Seattle]

Some planes need to be added. I sent the A340-500 in ages ago, but it seemed to never have been put in

...clearly says this at the top of the page: "Please note that the aircraft database is still incomplete and we are adding more aircraft models all the time."

The fact if some future plane is there and some historical plane is not does not make a difference as the planes are available by their real launch dates vs. the game date. Meaning that one naturally cannot fly the 787 in 1990's and so on.

I understand, just got me worried the A380 isn't even listed, considering I'm an Airbus supporter. 

[Sami]

Yeah, its coming but Airbus is a bit picky in giving exact details of their models, have had hard time with that. Boeing on the other hand gives out all the exact weight details, payload vs. range graphs directly from their site. For Airbuses I've had to dig them a bit other way and still missing the data for few of their models. blah.

[AzZellon]

Check with Airbus specified airline's, they must have the info. on their fleet somewhere. I can help with that if you want ?

ahem! We all know that Boeing's the best

Nope, Embrear is. I especially like the Q400s

[AHToronto]

nuuhn...yahhun...nuuhn...yahhun sorry. also, you said "Nope, Embrear is. I especially like the Q400s". Q400s by the way are made by Bombardier, but i agree anyways

[Cody]

I would have to agree with Seattle. Boeing is the best out there. Although i do support Bombardier seeing that they're Canadian, as am I.

[Seattle]

If its aint made by Boeing, I aint gonna fly!

[AHToronto]

boeing hasn't even delivered a single 787 to the orderers....you call that flying!?!?!

[Seattle]

Your comment makes no sense. Have you even thought about the other planes made by Boeing? Duh!

but how many have they delivered...0!!!!!!and besides, who has the biggest airplane in the world now???AIRBUS!!!

[alexernst]

to be honest: i don't think a pro/con Airbus/Boeing makes any sense.
Both companies produce more or less economic and ecological planes. 
so discussing about Airbus vs. Boeing is like discussing about "who was fist, the hen ot the egg?"

Whilst i do not want this to turn into an A vs. B arguement (which is all too common for Aviation forums).

You do forget to mention that the 787 has been realistically planned, sure, their have been delays. But if thats an issue, look into the A380's delays. The project has been delayed for over a year, and due to that, many order's where lost.

I like Boeing and Airbus. But before you get into all this, the A380 actually is only a few meters longer than the 747, and height. It's basically an A340 with a Tumour growing on it's back.

Don't get me wrong, i had a great time spotting it at Singapore last month.. But really, it will never be as classic as the 747. I don't see any inovation whatsoever, the wings even failed test's and had to be re-designed so it actually can hold the amount of PAX published by Airbus in the first place. As for now, airlines won't be fitting it in Airbus's claimed "800+ PAX", sure, but it would be in all economy. It would be a flying cattle-truck really. Sure, 50+ more seats on average than the 747.. but, the A380 still has to prove itself. And don't forget that every airport that this 50+ more seats than 747 goes to, they have to spend millions on runways, taxiways, airbridges and new gates and lounges to accomodate 1 single new airliner. Just for a 50+ more passengers on average (as no self respecting airline such as BA or EK will place 800+ in all economy). But im sure the A380 will have a bit more legspace (again, airline decision).. But we will see how things go.

And again, I like boeing and Airbus, hey, even Embraer.

Don't get me wrong. The A380 still is amazing to gaze at.. but aint the 747 classics sexy anyway? ... hehehhe

"who was fist, the hen ot the egg?"

all true, but still, the Airbus A380 is a beast in it's own class. you do have to admit that...

[Seattle]

747 will always be the king/queen of the sky. No matter if the A380 sells better or is bigger

When the 747 came out, it was like a giant cheese burger comapared to a molecule.
