I’m not sure about this, but i know that the max9 will take a looong time before it makes it way into the sim

They said that it was added due to the similarities it had when compared to the 333, the one that was reworked at the time

I mean… the similarities it had could be compared to the A332, since that one was just a fuselage length shortage instead of a new winglet and engine.
Would be great to have the MAX 9 and also the 10 but the 10 not in service yet ?
All MAX variants mostly differ in fuselage length and performance… we could see the MAX 7,9 and 10 but it’ll take some time to develop them.
Since those aircraft lack operators I’d rather see aircraft that need “small” changes to existing ones like the A332, A343, A35K etc.

Not only the length shortage, also the tail was a meter higher and the main difference: The performance

All three of these are not very good examples of what you’re trying to express; the A330-900neo would be one that required small changes to an existing aircraft however.
(The A332 has been mentioned already so I’m not going to do so again.)
The A343 has different engines, wings, landing gear and of course fuselage length from the A346 - the physics would need quite a substantial rework as well.
It’s a similar situation for the A35K, where modifications in all areas mentioned above have to be made to the existing A359. Not a “small” change in comparison to the A339 (from the A333) by any means.

Speaking of the MAX had there been any more WIP pics on discord ?

It’s been less than a week since they showed off the Engine…
The A343 is very similar to the A333. It’s mostly just different engines and an added gear

Physics and performance wise, not as much as the A339.
The A343 is also slightly taller and longer; the wings would also need a bit of work as there will be two engines and therefore pylons on each wing instead of one.
