Is there any way to convert any of the airbus a318/19/20/21 into freighter?
No
You cant convert anything except for some very specific aircraft.
thank you

On which Game worlds arme you playing?

I think that wasn't really an AirlineSim-specific answer (by CBE).... and in that sense, it's not helpful here.
In the game, you can only use aircraft for cargo that specifically mention in the description "pure cargo aircraft" or "convertible to XX cargo capacity".
It was a very airlinesim related answer.
My answer wanted to say that you can't just buy a 757 and convert it to a 757SF. You cant buy a 747-400 and convert it to a 747-400CF. Neither can you do it with 737s or CRJs. Only some very specific aircraft that are called "convertible" and LETs can actually be converted. Even though the seats need to be scrapped which makes the entire operation pretty unprofitable to convert them on regular basis which is what the convertibles really are built for. There is no way to get a pure passenger aircraft and make it a freighter.
Hallo CBE,
I want to send you a massage but you cant Receive some via the Forum. How Can i contact you?
Cheers Jonas
You can now...

But in real world it is being done. Some carriers purchase old pax aircrafts and convert them into freighters, right?
AS is not real world…,
Yes, but from a “reality” point of view, isn’t it better to provide the option to convert pax aircraft to freighters? Or will it have any consequences in game play?

Better of course, but the work "behind the scenes" shouldn't be forgotten.
Does it affect performance (payload/range)? How where to get the data? How would a conversion work (technically, financially and timely (game play))? Etc.pp.
And most important: who should do all the work to implement this?

I think all the necessary performance datas are already here. For example, maximum pay load, payload vs range graph is already present in the aircraft description page. The rest should be figured out. I think just like adding/removing seats, a small option should be included for convertion
Some planes are convertible and most likely, more will not be modified.
