AN-158 Serial Production/Availability in AirlineSim

English Boards General

Hello, 

This is my first topic. I'd like to say I very much like your game.

On Pearls, I have a large fleet of the AN-148, and as a Russian Air Carrier that flies into and out of some very inhospitable airports, I believe it is a wonderful airplane that is designed for rough conditions...though there nothing is stopping me from flying another type that probably shouldn't be landing on poorly conditioned runways in Siberia, I'd like to keep it semi-realistic.

As you can see here: http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/145765.html the AN-158 aircraft http://www.antonov.com/aircraft/passenger-aircraft/an-158 is basically a stretched AN-148 to 99 seats. 

Since, allegedly, Cubana will be taking the AN-158 this month....when can we expect to have it available for purchase in AirlineSim?

Thank you,

(P.S Putin said I must order at least 50 AN-158 to maintain my import duty-free purchases of 737 and 787, so please hurry!)

can't believe that the An-158 is at last in production!

but I guess the team wont have time to add that...because they are busy in changing the system (i guess)

It all depends on the availability of sufficient data from the aircraft. I think at some point the An-158 will find its way to Airlinesim, but rather later than sooner.

thanks for your answer Ronaldo :) I'm really happy about the An148 and would like to add the An158 asap...

also, on a side note, does anyone know when will the SSJ 100-75 fly?

SSJ 100-75 will never fly. The holding "Civil aircrafts of Sukhoy" will not produce this aircrat.The policy is that they are playing in segment of 100-seats regio crafts. And there are plans to start studying SSJ-130 and SSJ - Business mods. 

The SSJ-100LR version, by the way, has finished tests last week.

The regular SSJ is pretty “LR” in this game already - kind of like the 737-900ER flying like a 737-7MAX. I have over 200 of them and I’ve got it flying YKS-DME…3000 miles, how much more LR would you want a 86 seat configured plane to fly. I would much rather have a AN-158 as this would help my regional (and probably others), and furthermore it is in commercial service today to of all places Guantanimo…

and how strange that the An148 uses A81 while the An158 uses A58...
