I think that the game would be better if instead of having plane deliveries in big chunks of 24 or whatever, that planes were delivered in a moving orderline way. Also if manufacturer order books with delivery scheduals would improve the game and make it more realistic. Here are some examples:
There are 2 boeing lines. One for Narrow Bodies and One for Wide Bodies:
The following aircraft take this amount of game days on the line in manufacturing:
717: 3
727: 4
737 - 100/200: 3
737 - 300/400/500: 4
737 - 600/700/800/900: 5
757: 6
747: 12
767 - 200: 8
767 - 200ER/300/300ER :9
767 - 400: 10
777 - 200: 10
777 - 300: 11
If 5 planes ordered could be completed on each line at the same time, you can create a schedual which reflects how it happens in real life.
Here is an order schedual (I know that it wouldnt be possible with the aircraft all being of different eras, but this is just an example):
1. 737 - 400
2. 757
3. 767 - 200ER
4. 747 - 300
5. 737 - 800
6. 777 - 200
7. 727
8. 737 - 300
9. 737 - 300
10. 767 - 400
11. 717
12. 717
13. 767 - 300ER
14. 747 - 200
15. 777 - 300
16. 747 - 400
For this, the first 5 narrow bodies and 5 wide bodies would automatically start being built, it would take the following amount of time to complete the narrow body line:
1. 4
2. 6
5. 5
7. 4
8. 4
From the 5th one, they would be built as one of those ahead in the queue was completed:
9. (takes place of #1) (4) + 4 = 8 days
11. (takes place of #7) (4) + 3 = 7 days
12. (takes place of #8 ) (4) + 3 = 7 days
The same thing happens with the Wide Body:
3. 9
4. 12
6. 10
10. 9
13. 9
Same happens as before, as one plane is completed, another takes its place on the line:
14. (replaces #3) (9) + 12 = 21 days
15. (replaces #10) (9) + 11 = 20 days
16. (replaces #13) (9) + 12 = 21 days
Tell me what you think.
