Good afternoon, all!

Got a question about certain routes, especially regarding aircraft that Delta no longer flies, such as the ERJ-145. While I love the aircraft, I'm a stickler for realism (I'm OCD like that :P). Just out of curiosity, how often do routes get updated, especially regarding phased out aircraft? There are a considerable amount of DL flights that use the ERJ. I don't mean to be "that guy", but I'm more curious than anything!

The routes are unfortunately a year or more out of date. We are close to updating them though with updated equipment and routes.

Glad to hear. Hopefully sooner than later.
