737ER

[Singaporeair]

yeah,when ordering plane,you have to pick a standard version or HGW version for better range.
Or the system give you two 737-400,you have to guess which one is better range??  
so ER designate necessary in this game(or change it to HGW  :wink: ).

[StephenM]

Next question, are there 737's with that kind of range?

[Singaporeair]

Granted I cannot find what your looking for, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. (Que debate on Religion, same grounds there   ) But the fundamental difference is range.

A higher gross weight longer range version is offered. It features increased fuel capacity, and strengthened undercarriage and structures, but is otherwise identical to the standard 737-400.

The ER designation is an important one for Boeing when it comes to marketing and sales.  There is no such thing as an Extended Range 737-300,737-400 or 737-500. Not because I say so, just look at the Boeing aircraft designations.

Alright.

There is no major sub variatn of the 737-400 no matter what airliners.net says.  There may be IGW but not enough for Boeing to designate a whole new class as 737-400ER. There should only be one variant of the 737-300,737-400 & 737-500 in this game.

Please, please read this. It does most definitely say HGW. Everywhere.

[StephenM]

Just on a side note, the 737-300ER (the one ingame ) will be withdrawn in 2005 (End of year) so that will end the argument over that.

[Singaporeair]

you should change it to 737-300HGW @ next round.
To keep this kind of people away from the forum.  

[mbkiller]

And you should decrease the range for the 737-300 HGW !! According to the performance sheet from boeing it should be around 2255 nmi.

The .PDF quit clearly shows 2 sub variants. The first column shows non HGW. 90% of all the 737OGs are the HGW variants.

The second says HGW. Nobody in the world, not Boeing or the airlines designates their 737-300s, 737-400s or 737-500s as the ER or HGW variation.

Hee hee, that would be a good idea.

You deserve a free 737 or something for finding that!

[StephenM]

Ok so just strip the ERs off them and leave them normal?

Okay, when I say everywhere, I obviously mean on every page, i.e. for every listed airplane type. I know the second says HGW, I can read. And the .PDF quite clearly shows that Boeing does actually designate their 737-300's, -400's and -500's as the HGW version.

And imagine what it would be like to have no ER designator. It's useless. I don't know how you want to clarify the difference between the versions when, for instance, checking out the view_aircraft page.
