Hi all,
I noticed some strange things on KLM 747 routes network as you can see the screenshot all 747 routes are for 747-200 !
Why we can see this ?

| I remember Roger telling me that routes that are entered as a 747-400C (the Combi) show up as a 742 and as far as I know KL still operate the Combi. This may be the reason.

Any 747 type of 742, 747, 74C, 74M, 74X will show up in the schedule as a 747-200.

Generally If a 747-200 is shown in our schedule (AFVA/DVA) and is NOT a Historical Route, it denotes a 747-400Combi (74E internationally accepted Timetable Code) So the above routes shown will be operated by 747-400Combi's which if your insure of what they are they carry Cargo Pallets on the main PAX Deck, and have a SCD (Side Cargo Door) at the rear. They are merely separated by a movable Wall. I flew AMS-LAX-AMS back in 2008 with KLM on a Combi and I sat in the rear row of seats next to the wall...

I have updated the aircraft database to correctly show aircraft type. I added a 747-200F as well as moved the Combi to the 747-400. If the model is not known, i.e. the feed shows 747 instead of 74X, 74E etc... then it will default to the 747-400.
