Hello, just a random question:
Why are the newer planes all selected to be the “stretched” version of the original? (77W, 787-10, 737-900, 737-9)
Just a random question, thx

It is easier for our 3D designers to keep an area of the texture blank for smaller variants of an aircraft than it is to squeeze in additional parts on an existing texture that is already full. That's why the stretched versions are modeled first, to ensure there is enough space for all repaints.

Will other variants (i.e. A321ceo, B737-800, and B787-9) ever be added? I'd like to fly for Qantas, Virgin Australia, Delta, and Rex on a more widespread scale.

We've prepared a system that makes this easier for us in the future. But of course each aircraft will still need a lot of new repaints so there is still some work for us ahead.

I see, excited for new variants in the future!
