Why should this aircraft be added?
The current existing version of the E175 in the game is the short-wing variant and should have ICAO Type designation E75S. The proposed version has ICAO Type designation E75L and has modified winglets that are markedly more angled outwards. All newer versions of the E175, from 2014 onwards, use the long wing instead of the original short wing.

As of the E-Jet remodel in 3.0.3, both the E75S and E75L have been implemented in-game, however, both are still under the type E175 (which doesn’t actually exist as ICAO type designation). Given that the separate models exist, are there any plans to make the distinction explicit?

C

It is B not C class

[dh16dh]

Based on the ICAO aerodrome reference codes based on wingspan, class C aircraft have a wingspan between 24m and 36m. Based on this classification, the E175 in both cases (E75S/E75L) should be C class. I understand that it’s set as B to make them accessible in early game, however, for comparison, the wingspan of the E190 and E195 is 28.73m which is only 8cm wider than the E75L and that aircraft is classified as C.

Ah OK. I get it now

I Honestly wouldn’t mind the 175 and even the 170 being C class, especially for the games performance reasons. Seeing them not backtrack at SXM like the CRJ700/900 looks weird cause they need the roll out
