Regardless of the fact that the developers probably already know this, I could well be alone in holding the following opinion:

WE NEED THIS PLANE!

And I don’t care whether the fuel tank is realistic or not.
We can’t always wait until all aircraft are 100% realistic.
No one looks at the tank anyway, nice detail, but from the angle of most cameras you can’t see it anyway, and if you can, it’s only from a distance.

It’s about the exciting range of this C aircraft, which solves so many problems for WOA and is so important, now and not just in a few weeks when your tank problem has been solved. Because I bet all the paintwork would have to be redone too. And that’s something that I think is unnecessary.

And I can imagine why it is the way it is.
The developers used the original XLR model as a template, but shortly before approval, the tank had to be optimised again and now probably looks the way it does.

Wish I did this with the Dash 8 and their engines but it’s too late for that now LOL

Well you might not care, but I for one definitely like seeing the differences in models, and I know some others do as well.

But if that wasn’t the case, they didn’t need to modify the model, the devs could’ve just released the current NX and just label it as NY and add the range, but what would be the fun in that. Also don’t forget you’re seeing it from a fleet management perspective, that you just want it for the range, which is fine but others like me just want the AI contracts.

Just because you don’t care, doesn’t mean we as fans who do care about it can’t just suggest a consideration to model it correctly. Some of us like attention to detail, and trust me it is a pretty big difference if you know what you’re looking for.

Regardless of anything, the model was gonna be included, but the devs have a timeline and that’s why it wasn’t included earlier but it’s being worked on now, so you’re getting your wish, now let the rest of us want our end of the wish be fulfilled as well.

Perfection is the enemy of progress and yes we need this plane.

That’s only showing your impatience because like i previously mentioned, this model was gonna be added sooner or later.
But wanting it to be as physically representable to the real thing shouldn’t be too much to ask. You’re getting your model’s performance, let the rest of us want it to look the part as well.

Of course. I agree with you. Everyone wants to see certain differences between the aircraft. It wouldn’t be the game we love if all generations looked the same… B737s, A320 Family, etc.
The NY is already very similar to the NX, just as the NX is similar to the A21N.

My initial concern was whether it makes such a big difference whether the modified tank is this long or that long.

But obviously there are people who care about it, and I appreciate that too. In the end, it’s not up to us anyway.

Hmm ok. So one interesting thing I’m seeing from liveries is that there won’t be a NEW airport in 3.2.0. That kind of makes sense and is to be expected given the SYD rework, but also potentially opens the door for 3.3.0 to be closer on the heels of 3.2 than we are used to, or to have more content in minor updates over the period in between 3.2 and 3.3 than is normal. So that’s interesting.

Devs confirmed its only SYD remodel…

ERJ in 3.2.x
Comet remodel is not known yet

Why is SYD getting a remodel ?

It’s mostly in regards to incorrect stands including sizes and adding additional scenery around the airport like the highlife building at the city center and some cranes for the port next to the airport

I don’t know if this is the right place, but my other post was definitely in the wrong place so this is to rectify that

I said that I wouldn’t mind the 757 being brought down to C class, since it is smaller than the C-130J which is currently C class. That, and the DH64 could also be brought down, I think.

Yea that was my bad, I didn’t read the beginning of that post as it jumped to the last posted reply but I’d second it, and even vote for a second option for the Saab 340 to be an A plane.

I know we can’t just ask and expect any of this to be changed but I do think some of these can be considered for better stand allocation at certain airports

The one I really would like changed to C is the 757F, because it feels like with it being D class it’s not really worth taking over a 767F or A300F or something. If that makes sense

Honestly I think the 757 should remain a D plane because 1 its more realistic and 2 It allows for more opportunities to squeeze c gates into tighter spots. However, I do hope there would be a way to add gates that are C + 757

A lot of planes aren’t correctly categorized in the game for stand allocation reasons, I don’t see why this can’t apply to the 757, atleast the -200

But I do think adjusting the stands themselves to accept certain planes themselves as opposed to their category they’re in could help

Which ones?
