Greetings everybody.
I've recently signed up (Hi! I'm new) and after a bit of playing, have run into two problems that are causing me to lose money (About 13 million since last night.)
Searching the forums didn't come up with much, so I hope I can get some help. Please accept my apologies if it has been answered already.
- I leased a Vickers VC-10 with a range just over 5,000nm (at max load.). I'm intending to create a route, AMS - DAL (Amsterdam - Dallas Love Field), about 4902nm. Range should be good.
Dallas has a runway of 8800ft, AMS 12467. The plane needs 8200ft. Still good to go.
I've leased a gate at DAL, but when I try to 'Add flights', it shows up with no plane. I set the available hours option to 0, I even select the VC10 in the dropdown (It even says there's 1 VC10 idle.)
What am I doing wrong not to be able to make a flight? I've managed to make other flights just fine.
- I've been losing a lot of money on a single gate in Amsterdam. Currently, for 1 gate (I had 5, but accidently returned the unused ones.) I am paying more then 2,5m a month!
I've rented gates in other places, ranging from 77k to 1,5k a month. Is 2,5 really correct?
If so, that'd make AMS a very bad starting location
If I can fix these problems, I might actually be able to get out of the 10 million debt I have right now! I can do it......
thanks much for any help!
