747-200 SUD as an Advanced Customization?

[violet stratus]

Before 747-400, Boeing offered a Stretched Upper Deck (Aka the stretched hump) in the 1980s. This would be cool for 747-200 as an advanced customisation that looks like 747-300. Well maybe as a cosmetic or maybe increase some pax but also reduce the range of the aircraft (To keep balance idk)? Oh, and 3 airlines have this configuration (JAL, UTA, KLM). We can add this feature.

adding this will just be like modelling the 743, so i dont think the devs will agree

[wheat tapir]

I have a gazillion ideas about the 747 tbh so yeah this is a good one

[civic knot]

this is the 747-300

if it gets added it more than likely wont be the 742sud

[civic knot]

they are the same thing

boeing smacked a new designation on the already stretched 747-200 as a marketing gimmick to increase sales

so any aircraft built as a SUD and not converted would instantly be known as the 747-300

at most we'll probably have to wait for the 747 series remodel

but the 742sud is unlikely to be added (but the 747-100 exists)

[wheat tapir]

no it’s not

this is

[nova brook]

i think he means that they are almost identical

other than a few subtle differences theyre the same thing

[civic knot]

they are identical

other than the 747-3 having slightly updated tech and newer engines (same type slightly different variant)

thats it

[wheat tapir]

the -300 has a smaller hump and body to the -400

also it doesn’t have winglets

(I’m trying so hard to give reasons why it’s different)

[civic knot]

the 747 200 dosent have winglets either

also 74200sud and 743 have same size hump

[wheat tapir]

ah

but still it’s worth selling as a separate model

[wheat tapir]

imagine being able to take 2 jobs at the same time

or smth along those lines

[civic knot]

the KLM 742sud was a 747-200B (M) (SUD)

[wheat tapir]

there was also the SAA -200M

[civic knot]

martinair took good use of it

[wheat tapir]

we don’t talk about that one

[civic knot]

also

the process to convert a 747 200 into a sud

[crimson swallow]

We need dude with klm flag as adv

[civic knot]

yes

[wheat tapir]

having a flag as a part would be fun

toggleable?

idk

like press ‘t’ and it’ll just pop out

it would be cute

[crimson swallow]

So this is just a 300

[wheat tapir]

nah the -300 had better engines

the -200SUD had a long deck, same engines

[crimson swallow]

Personally I would find it a funny little adv but that’s up to who models it whenever 747 needs remodel

[civic knot]

technically the martinair 747 200sud would be considered a

747-206B(SUD(SF(SCD)

747-206SUDSFSCD

LOL

[wheat tapir]

it would be cute and funny having an aeronautican just pop out and stay there during a whole flight

[crimson swallow]

When

[wheat tapir]

a380 remodel

[sacred wadi]

Wait it is?

[wheat tapir]

yea

[flint scroll]
