Is it a glitch of some sort that the DVA B738 and B739 have the same seating capacity, 174 pax? This seems odd to me as most configurations, including RW Delta are more like 160 for B738 and 180 for B739.

So am I to assume these DVA aircraft profiles for these two planes are intended to have the same seating capacity (174)?

It's been a glitch for a while. They should fix this.

Page received. I will work on this. I need to coordinate with AFVA since the data is shared.

Thank you much! It's one of those little things that has been driving my "realism ocd" nuts lol

No problem. Some data is shared between airlines so if one side changes something it affect both airlines. I have a post to them in a coordination cooler channel so we will get this fixed as soon as we can. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

So with the split of DVA and AFVA, what are the odds of getting the B738 and B739 seating capacity more in line with real world Delta? The passengers are getting quite cranky sitting on lawn chairs in the cargo hold on the 738 flights 😉

I have an issue tracker to split the aircraft databases. Its on Luke's list but not high right now. You will have to bump passengers and make them fly in a DC6 in the meantime! biggrin

Personally, I would take the DC6 over some ol' whiny jet any day. smile

Standing by with ol' girl to pick up the extras. Heck, we even have real food on the old DC6. And don't charge you extra for it.

I was wondering about this. What's the point in the B739 if it's heavier but doesn't hold more pax? Glad to hear it's in the "to be corrected" list already. Thanks!
