General Pre-Release Discussion

[Jose123]

Charlie, I have a question. Is the Yemenia Airways plane part of an event, or is it a bug that’s causing the airport to not appear? I also want to ask if they’ll be adding all the decorations.Will they choose the most voted ones or randomly because many are missing, and above all, will we see the Conviasa A340?

[Charlie]

The Yemen Airways was missing destinations, we added them and they will be published with 3.6.0 update.

A346F confirmed then. Well I’ll be… Plus Ultra will be a nice addition to my SCL line-ups. Thanks Honza.

Just thought I’d add here, hope Bournemouth, Cardiff and Teesside are added as the bases for European Cargo. (We might finally get a Welsh airport )

AMAZING UPDATE.

Cant wait for this

@Mithilesh

Can’t wait for these to be in the game but does this mean that A346F are player fleets as well or just contract only aircraft like the A332P2F & B744BCF ?

[Hirohitoswaifu]

I’m guessing the latter but I would make a fleet of them at my LEJ and HKG lol. Must have a new animation being added as well which is fabulous.

I understand these are Work in Progress screenshots, but where’s the central gear? I’m sure the A343 had all the gear down in its previews, including the central one.

I’m curious to see how the A346F is handled though, that should be something a little different.

for the basic passenger 346 we already got 140 xp after 10/10, that is a bunch of xp for passenger aircraft aspecially for E tier and i just wondered about how much A346 P2F we will got after 10/10

[JDM144562]

Someone on Discord also pointed out the grey trim area around the horizontal stabiliser should have paint on it. Though I’ll have to double check as some A343s does have that area exposed.

[CJ_RVWilliams]

I honestly am expecting that the A346P2F will be a fleet airplane. With the variants we haven’t gotten as fleet planes recently (A332P2F, B752BCF, B744BCF) they’ve all been ones where we’ve had an analog for those variants (A332F, B752F, and B744F). There’s not an analog to the A346P2F currently in game so I see no reason why it wouldn’t be a plane players can fly.

The passenger ones have middle gear, So i bet the cargo varients would have it too?

[ukplanespotter757]

I think you may have misunderstood my post, none of the screenshots for the A346 we’ve currently seen have the central gear. Every A346 be it a passenger or converted freighter has one.

My concern here is we are getting livery previews and the central gear is missing from them. Is it modelled and just not shown in any of these screenshots? It is a key feature of the A340 after all.

[woa.17.wewak]

I kinda see what you mean now

[Flacko]

Also here’s the IRL image references for both A340-600 liveries.

[woa.17.wewak]

please tell me the plus ultra teaser is a different varient to the one in the airport photo. if not the the wheel set up is completely off?!?

[Flacko]

It is mentioned before by ukplanespotter757 regarding the missing central gear, but the IRL image is an A346.

@ukplanespotter757

I understand these are Work in Progress screenshots, but where’s the central gear? I’m sure the A343 had all the gear down in its previews, including the central one.

[Charlie]

Dont panic, the A346 have the central landing gear modelled and animated. Probably just an issue at the render.
