Decided to test my skills with the much neglected B717-200. I think it’s one of the oldest airliners in the fleet, added in 2013 with the B767-300 (12 years ago!). As such, even a slightly firm -300 touchdown will make the plane bounce.

Whenever it gets redone from scratch, or even softly reworked like what was done to the A333 some years ago, I’ll be more than happy to pay a Pro or Rent just to fly it properly.

Come on devs, tweak the physics of this aircraft, pretty please :3?

Boeing 717 Rework

The 717’s History Initially, the Boeing 712 was developed by McDonnell-Douglas as the MD-95. It was a modernised version of the MD-80 (aka Maddog) for shorter regional routes. To do so, they changed the engines with less powerful engines, a shorter range and less seats. Boeing bought McDonnell-Douglas in August of 1997 so, naturally, the current MD-95 program was shifted to Boeing and it’s name was changed. The first 712 to be commercially used rolled out the the assembly lines in 1999 and sta…

767 would like to say hello.

That one flies much better than the 717. This one sounds the stall alarm even at 145kts when flaring. The 767 doesn’t bounce when you get a -300ft/m landing.
