I see AIrbus is bringing out a new aircraft. The A350 XWB (Extra Wide Body) in 3 models. A 250 seater, 300 seater and 350 seater. I know they’ve started production but the first deliveries won’t be until 2014. Would it be possible to implement it into the game earlier than that? I know a lot of the specs for the aircraft are available and here’s the link to their website http://www.airbus.com/aircraftfamilies/passengeraircraft/a350xwbfamily/
All new aircraft in Airlinesim appears if and when reliable data is available, generally after entry into service. The specs direct off the manufacturer page - tentative or final - are not being used. In the case of the A350XWB, the specs are very very tentative as no aircraft was completly build yet, so it’s unusable. The A350-800XWB might be cancelled as well.
Personally I expect similar challenges like the 787 and further delays as the -900 model seems to be way too heavy to compete with the 787-9/-10 and the 777/777X.
I have another question, will you guys update some stats for current air frames such as the 777s?
they’ve been updated and improved multiple times now and are able to perform better than the data in game
Yes, that’s right.
With the new aircraft performance system, which is to be introduced at a later date, you shall be able to choose different versions e.g. mtow. Stay tuned.
