We all are, but it was already mentioned in the syd post release, not that this thread is against any rules, just would be nice to avoid clutter

Thought this could be better to start with a new topic? Discussion here on these new planes might not relate much to SYD.

Well I renamed it so maybe it will be better now?

Thanks

Let’s start the ‘discussion’ :joy:.
Ok with the -200 I really hope that air Canada gets it. Also if the -200 could make it I would love it if we could get air Greenland to Dulles.

The distance between Dulles and SFJ is 3x the 200’s range, sadly

Ahhh. Oh well.

Air canada operated the -100 and -300(and currently -400) but not -200.

DH8 variants are coming to WOA!

This is a massive, but welcome, surprise, as we normally do not get variants after the main version has released. All three shorter variants of the DH8 are coming, these being the 100, 200, and 300, which in-game will likely be abbreviated to A, B, and C, given that the current 8-400 is abbreviated to 8D. Given the level of development, we can expect these to release as soon as the next update, which may be 2.4.4 or 2.5, depending on what it contains. Our guess is it will be 2.4.4, because although in the recent past the devs have released major updates (2.X) for aircraft that would normally be a 2.X.X update instead (looking at you, A320 family…), there has not been enough time for them to throw in too much in the way of extra features. The way we could see this changing is if features like the new UI or alliances release in this update.

With that old Tyrolean livery wonder if we get British European or Jersey European etc for special events.

I do hope they consider modifying the engine a bit
Looks nothing like the actual engines or the gear struts.

Idk if it is a bit to early to ask but does anyone know if the update is in testing yet?

Probs Carl does but my guess is no, normally we get a preview, then it enters testing a few weeks later, and then liveries release a week or so after that

I think we’re about to get a livery drop judging by the category change the last release went through
