Re: Concorde/TU-144 Capacity

I think this would solve my concern about the SSTs having the 140 frequency soft cap applied to them as well. If they were above 180 or 200 capacity then it should no longer be a concern. The only other issue I wanted to bring up was that  it looks like there's a moderate discrepancy between SST flight time in the sim vs irl. Avg flight time LHR to NYC is around 7.5hr vs 3.5hrs IRL for subsonic vs Concorde, this is a ratio of < 0.47. In sim it's 7.5hr vs 4.27hr which is a 0.57 ratio that translates to more than an extra 4% perceived ticket price overall on a flight from JFK to LHR for swift.

The capacity on Concorde was adjusted up to 144, while i think it's fair. The business class in this game is like a full business class we see in IC flight (since it takes up 2.5 the space of eco seats), while the business class in Concorde is more like premium economy in recent yerars.

Also adjusted the flight duration caculation. flight from JFK -> LHR will take around 3.5 hours

Take note that the flight duration change will not be deployed until next beta thanks
