[Not a bug]Route research error?

Virgin Serbia · **on:** May 24, 2008, 10:34:06 am

So, i had a A320 delivered, and i rented a gate at LHR, AMS and FRA. The A320 could only do LHR and FRA, but not AMS. Luckily ive got an 737-500 delivered in 3 days, do i can, according to route research, fly the AMS route with a 737-500, before i lose the gate. But route research also says that the distance from Ashgabat - Amsterdam is 2723 nm, while the 737-500 has a range of 1955 nm?!?
Can i fly this route with the 737, or will i have to get a second hand ATR-42 to fly the route?

Edit: I should have posted this in the bugs forum, could admins move it?

There are two variants of teh 737-500. You need the version with the longer range to fly that route.

After you clicked buy in purchase aircrafts, there is a dropbox for engine variants....

I think the old route research is better cos it shows up with different engine varient as se scroll down it can we can simply click the 'buy' button and buy the exact aircraft we want with the exact engine varient we want.

This could solve the problem of buying the right aircraft but not the engine.
