The date in the game is already past the merger date of Boeing and Mc Donnell Douglas.

We know that the proposed MD-95 became the 717.

So do we see, the MD-95 or do we get the 717?

If you look on the link below, it will state the first flight was in 1999.

Actually look closely at Garbage-pedia.  It states EIS as Sept. 99 in the text.  But the info box under the Valu-Tran pic says 'Maiden flight'  Sept. 2 1998,  'Introduction'  Oct. 12 1999.

So it has three differing dates, or so it seems.

Now continue reading the text...

It states that Valu-Tran placed an order in 1995 for the MD-95, which went to Boeing during the 1997 swallowing of the McDonnell Douglas.


But you didn't answer the fundamental question.  Will we see the aircraft as the MD-95 or as the 717?

Ok, fine.
We will see it as:
MD-95 & Boeing 717-200 (Seperate entries).
