Hi Mopy, we've been tracking this bug and it should be resolved in the next update. Appreciate you bringing it to our attention 🙂 -Steven

Hi, this bug is being fixed, there should be an update available soon that will correct this issue.

Can you link a source saying the -5C4 engines were only available on the A340-300E? The -5C2, -5C3, and -5C4 engines were all options on prior versions of the A340 going as far back as 1995. For example, 9K-ANB is an A340-313 (-313 in the suffix denoting the -5C4 engine) was delivered in March of 1995. The first -313E was delivered as ZS-SXA in 2003. MTOW was also optionable by the airline, and while it's harder to find data on the specific MTOW of specific airframes, the Type certificate data sheet for the A340 specifies that the maximum takeoff mass of the A340-313 is 276.5t.

While there are currently no P2F A340-300s, Avensis is currently certifying a P2F conversion for the A343 that has been ordered by USC in Germany. So it will soon be a real world option 🙂

Please don't comment on things you do not have knowledge of. The higher MTOW and -5C4 engines we are modelling were not only available on the A340-300E. Air France's A340s had the -5C4 engines, a 276.5t maximum takeoff weight, and EIS1 avionics and were delivered in the late 1990s, as an example.

Please read what I wrote. The high-thrust -5C4 engines are not exclusive to the -300E, and were available from 1995 onward. The vast majority of A340-300s built are the -313 variant with these engines. As well, the increased 276 ton takeoff weight was also not exclusive to the -300E model, as Air France had this exact configuration on their A340s, which had the older avionics.

The -5C4 engines are not only on the -300E, they were an option from 1995 onwards and ordered by multiple airlines.

Why do you think our -300 will have 500/600 avionics? We're modelling the -300 faithfully.

Hi, as we mentioned in the update this will be an A340-313 model which has a takeoff weight of approximate 276 tons and a range of more than 8,500 miles. Regarding the choice of a -300 vs. a -500 or -600, while all of them are undeniably cool aircraft the A340-300 was the most popular variant, with more built than all other variants combined and operated by more airlines as well.
