I have this aircraft in W9

Aircraft Name  Tupolev Tu-104V Seats  100 Cargo  0 Speed  487 Range  1,923 Withdrawn  1982 Cockpit Crew  5 Flight Attendants  2 Turn Time  0.42 Engines  Mikulin AM-3M-500 Fuel Usage  648

And i cant do the route Palermo (Italy) - Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), with exactly 1,923NM, like the information ive got on the gate search.

I think it can be normal, cause its at the aircrafts range limit.
Im not worried about it.

But if its a bug, im reporting it to help improving the game.

I think it has something to do with the turnaround time  :?:

well your airplane can go 1,923 miles, and gate search says 1,923 but it is probably 1,923.something which means you cant fly the route.

Just like Jtimes said. In AM, aircraft range is a round number, distances are not - although they are shown as a rounded number.

For instance, if a route's real distance is 1,923.43 it will be shown as 1,923 but is still out of range for that a/c.

As a general rule, when planning routes, I always filter those that are greater than or equal to a plane's range.

It has nothing to do with the turn around time, turn around time is just the time spent on the ground un/reloading pax and such.

What it appears to me is that you use up the plane to it's limit, I had seen a similar thing happen to a friend while he was setting up a route that had the same exact range of the N-260 (the default "first" plane for World 9). I think once it reaches that range, it won't fly it, the best way I can say this mathematically about your Tu-104's range is this: [0, 1923). So what it looks like to me is that if it was to be 1922.9999999999999999999999999999999999(and to the Infinityth decimal place) It could make it, but not higher than that. Though I'm not sure if the game does round things off though. It would be nice to have decimals for some of the other numbers (especially hours left on aircraft).
