My entry for the challenge @WinsWings
@WinsWings Thanks a lot!
Looks awesome. Spotlighted right away! Goodluck with the challenge. I will take a look soon
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes In this case, the only door available for catering trucks is the right front door, as the rear one is used only for emergencies. In the front there is no space for a galley, beacause of the cockpit, so the only option is moving it back like the toilets, in order to have a significant amount of passengers in the plane. If I did put the door in the rear there would be no space for toilets there, so 4 less passengers. It's only imagination though, probably in real life they would think of a better way to do that.
@GMSAircraftCorporation I see.
(FYI, from what I’ve observed flying in aircraft the toilets are located right in front of the rear doors, while the galley is located in the space behind the door, because that door is typically used by catering trucks for loading meals.)
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes Oh the door... I forgot to add in the description why I made it like that XD. Basically, I thought that if the door was all the way back there would be no space for toilets and the galley, so as it is only an emergency exit and it is not made for boarding purpose it is located in a part that is not easy for stair trucks to access, for example. But belive me, at the start I was a bit annoyed with that door XD
@Timplanes @XAircraftManufacturer Thanks!
The rear door not being all the way behind ticks me off a little, but other than that, nice plane!
(i must 1-up this)
This is very nice
Nice looking plane with great handling characteristics. Good job!
@DeezDucks Thank you!
Done
@BaconAircraft @MrSilverWolf @DeezDucks @Seeras Hello moderators, sorry to bother you! Can you make my aircraft a successor to @WinsWings Regional Airliner Challenge? Thank you!
