Development Teaser: A350 work in progress

The question of repeatedly explaining, choosing a longer model is not referring to popular models in reality, which is why it is 787-10 instead of 9,

Quote from Danielmcg40

why the -1000 tho

the -900 has much more livery diversity

If I remember, or maybe I am wrong. Somewhere dev said about making the largest variant at first, can make them to shrink the variant easily in the future.

For example , if they create airbus A350-1000, they can shrink the variant say: to airbus A350-900. I know, there’s a difference mainly in the landing gears and fuel tanks.. but again, that won’t be very time consuming. It would take few weeks or a month to finish those alterations. I can understand what logic they meant.

The reason why they should develop the -1000 over -900 is because less is more meaning it makes sense for IPACS to work on the systems of the aircraft rather than diversifying the aircraft and producing problems when released. 8 operators on the -1000 might not be many but I think it makes life an awful lot easier for the developers to craft the aircraft properly. Don’t get me wrong the -900 has the gear tilt, 2 winglets designs and 30 operators currently flying but quality can sometimes be better than quantity.

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

Let the speculations begin!

A220

1000 seems to have also updated the wingtip winglet, Same as 900，which is a conclusion drawn from jal a350-1000

I think this is an airplane

When will we get another teaser?

But do we actually need more variants? Like, wouldn't it be better just to have the most popular variant and that's it?

I'd rather have a 787-9 right now than wait +2,5 years for a new variant derived from the 787-10, for example

We need more airbus wide body aircraft, so I guess that’s A350-900/1000. Wish we can get detailed livery and some cool & special liveries (STARLUX, China Airline’s cool A350XWB livery with carbon fiber and of course Delta airlines, don’t forget to add DELTA’s logo at the bottom of the plane this time)

But didn’t they just disprove this after they created the A321, which is literally an extended version of the A320?

And besides, why not go directly for the shorter variant with more liveries? It’s been over 2.5 years since they released the 787-10 and we don’t have the 787-9 or 787-8. Who knows if/when we’ll ever get the shorter variants.

Yeah, after the A321 I don't really believe in that

Having the variant with most liveries is the option that better benefits the simulator

No not necessarily the a320 has been in the sim since aerofly fs 1 mobile probably before they started following the system of larger variant first then shorter variant

That’s possible. I just wish Aerofly wouldn’t go for the longer variant every time since these longer aircraft (787-10 is 2.5 years old, 777-300ER is 4.5 years old) have been in the simulator for years now and are unlikely going to get their shorter variants since the devs have other projects like this new aircraft.

If Aerofly goes for the shorter and most popular variant first (A350-900, 787-9, 737-800 for example), that’ll allow the most benefit for all users while they eventually wait for the new variants. And considering years will likely progress by, wouldn’t technology improve to help switch from the shorter to the longer variant?

Then why didn't they do the A319 instead of the A321?

A321 is a longer version and more popular then the A319 we already have alot of short range aircrafts the a321 is medium range which is why I think they made the a321 over the a319

Yea after looking at it I see the a350 again lol

I'm just gonna guess either the 220 or 350 and end there 😂
