Jet2 have put in a sizeable order for the a320 and 321 neos to replace all their older 737s and sadly 757s they have taken delivery of about 5 at this point
What I am wondering is why the 767-300ER rework was skipped to the voting between the 737 MAX 8 and A320 NEO. I thought after the A380 rework we would be getting an announcement of the 767-300ER rework being started. I thought this because there was a voting poll between the A380 and the 767-300ER. I thought this poll was going to determine weather the A380 was coming first or the 767-300ER rework. I didn’t think that after the A380 that a new poll would take place. Me personally I am not a fan of the 737 MAX Family or the A320 NEO family. But I am also not a developer either lol

Because it would be too many wide bodies. We have the 350, 777, 757, 330 and the Neo variant and now the 380. Those are all wide bodies, sure the 737 got a cockpit rework and the 320 got live instruments, but they are still outdated. So they decided to add the new generation aircraft of them (320neo and 737MAX)

I feel like the A320Ceo series right now in infinite flight needs a rework, the winglets look kind of weird and the quality is kind of low. However the cockpit is good. It’s just the exterior

Just saying the fact that ATR was ranked the second in the poll back in 2019. We still did not hear anything about it now. Polling is a joke.

Just asking…
Even though I’ve been playing IFS for many years now, I haven’t really kept a tab on their social media or their forums, but does it actually imply that the aircraft that loses in a poll will be re-worked second…?
Because with the 737 Max 8 and A320neo poll, they kept on specifying that the A320neo would follow the 737 Max 8…and even before the poll they said one would follow the other. It seems to me that their stressing on this multiple times implies that this method wasn’t followed earlier…?
We have never said that. It’s been a thing someone assumed somewhere and then it took off.

I seen a Max today
According to the results post about the NEO vs MAX, they didn’t specifically say that it was the next aircraft in the development line. Dan just said it would come a bit later.
Added in the pipeline doesn’t always mean coming in the next update./being developed after the current development is finished
If it wins the poll, it’s going to be developed next.(or added to the pipeline)
They never said that the 2nd winner would be added to the pipeline, and the staff don’t just want to develop all airliners, there has to be space for regional jets, GA, military and etc.
Exactly! I have a feeling the next new aircraft coming to the game is going to be the ATR-72. This aircraft would be perfect and a new addition to the turboprop propeller planes we have in the sim alongside the Dash 8.
Actually one time, when I was begging for the max in the discord server (don’t ask why 😭) one of the staff members replied and said that there are so many options such as the ATR. Which is why till this day I’m shocked and eternally grateful that the MAX is being added or developed. They could’ve added anything else but they decided to respond to the community.
Who knows 🤷♂️
They know which aircraft should be developed next, and guess what, most of them are based off community votes, IF is really nice to basically let the community pick which aircraft that fit into the game to be developed next. (I think) this is why the A350-1000 isn’t considered by the staff, even though it is highly requested by basically everyone.
No one knows 🤷🏽 all we know is
Soon™️ lol
I think they’re specifically avoiding that aircraft because there’s always a pretty well modelled A359 in the game currently with a working cockpit etc. I would assume they want to focus on the other planes in the sim that badly need a rework, such as the 787, 747, A340 and the list goes on lmao
That is just an assumption, but since they caved in for the 737MAX8 and the A320 Neo maybe we could see it sometime in the nearby future?
It’s not that they’re doing this as there are older aircraft that need more attention, with that logic, we won’t see as many new aircraft as we are seeing RN.
It is growing a lot in orders, I hope so.
