Fuel burn per seat
« on: August 29, 2020, 07:08:53 am »
Not entirely sure where to post this, but right now the fuel burn per seat is very unrealistic. I've made a list.

The columns didn't come out right, that's one of the downsides of the forum. But let's ignore that for now.

As you can see, there is a huge difference in fuel burn per seat. It's totally unrealistic, with big planes having a far higher fuel burn per seat than small planes. In the real world it's the other way around.

Also there are a good number of aircraft on this list with way wrong capacities, such as the 767-300ER having 100 more seats than the 787-8. What the hell? The 787-8 is way bigger than the 767-300ER, how can it possibly have fewer seats? Looking at real capacities, both aircraft are listed wrong. It looks like no research has been done at all when these aircraft were added to the game.

But this was about fuel burn per seat, which has a way too big difference. That should be brought closer together, maybe even give all aircraft the same fuel burn per seat or at least keep the differences small. If this means a total database overhaul, then so be it.

According to Wikipedia, yes. However Wikipedia can be wrong, better use SeatGuru as a reference.

Here is an all-economy 767-300ER:

https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Thomson_Airways/Thomson_Airways_Boeing_767-300ER_V4.php

It seats 328, which is 22 less than the 350 it's supposed to seat in the game. Wikipedia can claim seating capacities of 269 and 218, but TUI has proven Wikipedia wrong.

I couldn't find any all-economy 787s, but this is the closest:

https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Scoot_Airlines/Scoot_Airlines_Boeing_787-800.php

It seats 335 while the front section is premium economy. If you'd convert that into regular economy as well, it could seat about 350. Then keep in mind in the game this plane only seats 250, which would be 100 too little. Again Wikipedia has been proven wrong as they only claim a seating capacity of 242.

Of course there are airlines with lower seating capacities on these planes, but they shouldn't be counted because they include business and first. Seating capacity listed in the game is all-economy, the capacity is being lowered if you add business and/or first. So you shouldn't lower it double.

Well did i see it wrong in wikipedia? When i look there if 767 or 787 is bigger, then the 767-300ER has a maximum single class of 351 seats while the 787-800 has 381 seats. So of course the 787-8 is bigger.

And i have to agree that a lot of this aircraft database is pure rubbish. e.g. the A320 is less fuel consuming than the A320neo and that just makes no sense as the neo was only developed to be less fuel consuming. I would guess that there is some formula used to calculate some random fuel values as actually none of them is making sense. Would be great if it would get revised.

It's very easy to convert. In the game, 1 Y seat is 2.5 J seats or 6 F seats. So if you know how many Y, J and F seats an aircraft has IRL, you can just calculate the number of Y seats.

That Scoot 787 has 21 Y+ seats, but there is no Y+ in game so we can call it J. 21 J seats are equal to 52.5 Y seats, plus the 314 Y seats it already has would give the plane a capacity of 366.5 Y seats. Except of course half seats don't exist.

thanks seat guru is much better
