@@HC-cb4yp not that I'm aware of. There are two games that are similar come to mind: The first one is sim airport. Although that one focuses on you building an airport in addition to hosting flights. Another one is transport fever 2. Although that one is more than just planes. You can pick a starting date anywhere between 1850 and 2000, though the earliest aircraft are available In 1920 onward. You can progress through the ages and unlock newer vehicles. Either one would be a good choice in my opinion.

Regarding the FMA IA 36 Condor, specifically at 7:42, I'm pretty sure there was no plan to have *anyone* sitting in that part of the plane. I mean beyond the rear doors (only accessible when the engines are off of course), it seems far more realistic that that part of the cabin would've been exclusively for luggage.

IMO the FMA IA 36 Condor and SAAB 1073 have solid niches that could make a program successful if the designs were picked up by someone with the same determination as the Founder of Boom supersonic. The best part is being able to adapt existing tech instead of developing novel tech for the critical aircraft systems.

The Argentine Airliner might have been able to use asbestos as both heat and sound insulation, but they would need a lot of it. The Boeing 727, and L-1011 pulled similar stuff off. Granted that was with engines of a later generation. Argentina's shift makes me think, they could have gotten into the position Brazil got into with Embraer. Of course, the question is if the tech and market conditions could have lined up for them in that time frame as opposed to Embraer's. The Argentine jet was designed by Kurt Tank, who had designed the FW-200 Condor and the FW-190 Fighter in the 1930s and 40s.

big planes (double and even triple deckers) all have the same problem - if something happens you have to transport corpses by dump tracks. No one will be able to jump out in time (90sec!) before it turns to fire and smoke grave. Its the reason why A380 was never made in single-class configuration with about 700 passengers onboard, even it required only seat reconfiguration.

For the condor, having 5 engines in such a cramped space and so close together made it a disaster waiting to happen. Imagine even if just one engine exploded most likely would destroy or damage the other four. Plus it would also be very dangerous for cabin decompression, or cabin fires. Also all the electrical and hydraulic lines for the tail would pass from that extremely heated section and again an engine failure could rupture the hydraulics.
