I believe there is a mistake with the Lockheed I listed below, It states it can travel 7,194 miles.  I bought 10 for long distance routes.  I tried to make the route below and the aircraft will not list. I believe because of its low speed it is not capible of its full range.  somthing needs adjusted!

I just paid and waited 3 days to find out I can't use them and I ordered 20... 10 still coming.... and I got charged 1,000,000 + for marketing fees?!?


Route Details
Depart Atlanta
Arrive Tokyo Haneda
Distance 6,876nm


Lockheed 1649A Starliner Speed   287  Range   7,194  =25 hrs


EDIT: somone just added the same bug LOL.... sorry I was tired and didnt see it

This, is really nothing new at all. I remember this exact aircraft (or at least one of the other close Lockheed relatives) having the same issue with longer flights. Nothing you can do but be cautious when you buy the aircraft I suppose. With those stats though, it looks like it should make a .5 flight within 24 hours, as far as the flight itself is concerned, but you also have to consider the turn time, and with the ATL-Haneda route, you would only have .0418 hours to do the turn and still meet 24 hours which I am very sure this plane does not do.

If you use Research Route, it will tell you if the plane is capable of completing the route in under 24 hours.

Zero,

There is nothing wrong with the stats, the plane will fly the defined range, however a day is limited to 24 hours. Don't blame the stats for not checking the facts yourself.
