How about the 747-8 passenger version? I went to the factory and one of the workers said they only make freighters now.

There is a Budget Airline that is brand new planning on using 747-8s as their fleet.
Highly doubt that will work.

@Unknown98 Would it be possible to add the DC-7C to the game? It has always been a favorite of mine, and would mean a lot to have it in game. Here are the specs:

Manufacturer - Douglas
Passengers - 105
Max cruise speed - 405 mph
Normal cruise speed - 359 mph
Range - 5635 mi max fuel @ 274 mph & 5164 mi @ 359 mph
Fuel Consumption - 313 gph max fuel & 456 gph max payload (I’m not sure of the calculation used to determine consumption in-game but I believe that equates to 0.87 gal/mi & 1.27 gal/mi?)
Runway requirement - 6360 ft
MTOW - 143,000 lb
OEW - 78,890 lb
Engines - 4 radial piston engines (prop)
Price - $1,155,560 in 1956; $1,343,385 in 1958
Production ended 1958

Thanks!!

In comparison pretty cheap, isn’t it? :thinking::grin:

I guess it is about $12M, adjusted for inflation, but still a lot cheaper than a modern equivalent.
