Title: Should I add the Avro RJX series?
Post by: d1-3508 on May 02, 2007, 01:00:48 am
I want a quick opinion poll.

Should I add the Avro RJX series?

The RJX series would be:
RJX85 (only one model built)
RJX100 (only 2 models built)
and maybe even
RJX70 (offered, but not one frame built.)

Sure... why not?

Yes....  the unique variety of models, airports and (eventually) modes makes this game superior to other online airline games.

Yep, I've got all the stats but the RJX70's range. (although I've nted it down as 1840nm)

Yes, there are conflicting data on the web... but this may worth consideration.

Afterall, they fly it :wink: .

No, they don't.
We're talking the RJX here, not the RJ or the 146.
But, by the range diff. in the RJ70 to the RJ85, it works out to be about 60nm. So would 120nm difference be correct?

Ooops... my bad  :oops:

try this
http://www.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~pschirus/aviation/flugzeuge/bae146.phtml
it is in german though. the row "Max. Reichweite" is max range.

So that makes the ranges:
1875 (RJX100)
2048 (RJX85)
2186 (RJX70)

All of the above are in Nautical Miles.

It would be a good "What if" but we dont want to go into it too much otherwise we will have loads of planes being made up. If we can get a rule that the required data must be available for each aircraft type before its allowed to be entered. (That way failed initial designs shouldn't be in the game)

So, If all the major data (Name, Engines, NoE, Pax, etc.) is available, a model can be added?
And the fact that we have ACTUAL data for the RJX qualifies it for addition to the game.

Well the RJX was actually built, that also helps. ;)

One of the RJX85 & 2 of the RJX100's.
The question is, does the RJX70 (of which not one was produced) qualify?

What does everyone else think?

none built + missing actual max range... no-go. -shrug- that's just me though.

well... we do have a technical (projected) max range from a german university... but one can say it is not "actual" when none has been built :?

Personally, I would like to see it in the game... I don't think the projected data would be off by much... but that is just me...

Yeah, I reckon it'd be reasonably close.
The RJX85/100's are confirmed additions?

How fast is it and how many seats can it pack?
Title: Should I add the Avro RJX series?
Post by: d1-3508 on May 03, 2007, 03:50:54 am
Speed (from memory) is 412m/ph, seats vary from 82 to 128.
Range is around the 1800nm mark.

What about the Do728? Will that be included? They did build one....

Dornier 328-110's are coming Tommorow or Monday (not adding them today)
Dornier 728's will eventually be added.
