Why do we have a A340-600 in our Fleet?

(1/6) > >>

EHM-1760 Sven:
Hi,

some days ago I bought me the A330/A340 from PSS. Later I searched for Euroharmony textures and I found the
A330-300. Than I realized that we have a A340-600. But why don't we have an A340-200 or an A340-300? I think it would better to have aircrafts with "more" realistic panels and properties in our fleet than this freeware has it;)

EHM-1592 Niels:
Hi Sven,

I agree that it's nicer to fly with as much realisme as possible, that's why i fly PMDG's 738 and 744 and PSS's A332 and i've just bought the new 772LR. But.... not everyone is capable or does not want to pay for the models i gues that's why.

greets,
Niels

Hi folks,

it is a hard question, because there are many points next and against the decision. Some facts:

The A340-600 was selected for the fleet about 3 years ago. Since then, PSS and freeware POSKY released their 200/300 series airplane. The aircraft itself is as big, and almost as heavy as our A330-300. Only the range and cargo capacity is different. The 600, and later 500 variant was a record holder in long distance flying. These are much heavier, and longer than the 300 variant, therefore nicely fit into Class 7 at EuroHarmony. The A340 is not very popular at EHM...maybe because of this question, maybe not...who knows. The current EHM model was built for FS2000 so it is rather old. 2 freeware groups have already been working on the famous 500 variant. That will be replaced as soon it will arrive. The current plane will be maintained in the near future, and will be renewed.

What I can advice to PSS owners now, is to use our freeware model with the PSS panel.

EHM-1760 Sven:
I think I will use the PSS panel at least when I am allowed to fly this aircraft. I unterstand the reason. I will wait for the 500 and that it will be a bit better;D

EHM-1703 Philip:
I have tried merging the freeware aircraft with the PSS panel with no success. If anyone has any idea how to do this without loosing the functions of the panel, please could they let me know.

The main reason I don't use the A340 is because I would prefer to fly the PSS A330. If we had a way of merging the PSS panel with our freeware A340-600, I would definately use the A340.

With regards to Roberts point above about the A340 not seeing much action, to a certain extent the same can be said for the 747 as well. (Lately most long haul flights I have seen have been 777's or MD11's) I think one of the reasons for this is because there is no advantage to flying long haul in Propilot. Maybe the FAC score could some how take in to account hours flown or PAX carried. I think alot more people would fly longer flights if this was the case.
