Backlog Working Again?

Is the aircraft order backlog system working again or will they all be delievered at the end of the current month?

It's also in the reset announcement thread, but yes, the delivery is back to the restricted variant again..

OKThanks did miss that in the Reset thread

Good thing now so now airlines will grow more steadily instead of airlines on steroids.

relating to this, how many orders have to be placed before it delivers more than one page at a time? I am currently 27 out of 45, and I am not sure when I am going to get the plane. Anyone who can help.

If you are #27 out of 45, you will get your plane in two months, as 20 + 4 will get delivered this month and you'll be 3rd in line next month.

Possibly. By the time monhth changes again, I would expect there to be more orders placed. So, figure out about the 20th of the month the 20+10% to see if you will get them delivered or not. Don't forget to include the limits set on number of aircraft per airline.

Also people can defer, though why you would want to just now I don't know...

Perhaps they managed to place another order for another plane at a later time. The second order is better, and the first one can be deferred, then they could do so, stay in black print so they can get gates for the first plane and later for the second plane.. Just to hand you a possible reason..

so clarify the forumula for me again, please, 'cause I admit, I am a little confused.

Amount delivered = 20 + 0.1 * aircraft on order...

Example: 50 aircraft on order (simple number for explanation purpose).

Let's assume no new orders are placed.. First batch of deliveries would be 25 (20 + 0.1 * 50), leaving 25 still to be delivered.. Second batch is 22 (or 23, depending on rounding, as 10% of 25 is 2.5), leaving 3 (or 2) frames for the month thereafter. This means the que moves forward by 7 or 8 airframes, so, in the second month, an airframe on spot 47 or 48 would still be delivered (this ofcourse looking at time of delivery).

Ofcourse, if some of the early orders are more than 2 for a single airline, the whole positions on que don't matter much anymore, it's the position you hold after that particular one that matters then.

Hope I did not confuse you even more with this...

so:

monthly delivery = 20 planes + 10% of ordered airplanes correct?


ex. If fifty planes are ordered, then 25 (20 + 10% of fifty) will be delivered, no?

yep but also say you are in 50th position to be delivered an aircraft if an airline has say purchased 20 ac infront of you he will only get two a day so u will move up the line quicker

so:

monthly delivery = 20 planes + 10% of ordered airplanes correct?

ex. If fifty planes are ordered, then 25 (20 + 10% of fifty) will be delivered, no?

Also implied is that a minimum of 22 will be delivered each day (assuming that there are 22 or more orders)

Isn't it a 5 per day limit now (as opposed to 2)?

5 total, 2 per manufacturer, meaning that if you order two frames from 3 different manufacturers and they would all be delivered next month per old rule, this month you'd only get 5 of them (probably the first 5 aircraft worked on through the DB)..

It used to be 2 per manufacturer, now it is 5 per manufacturer. You could actually receive 30+ aircraft in one month, but not everyone wants aircraft from each manufacturer.

[...] no airline will receive more than 5 airframes from any one manufacturer. Also limit so that manufacturers will only deliver 20 airframes (plus 10% of the queue) in total.

I suppose that is also a way it could be interpreted.. I'd read this as 5 being the maximum airplanes an airline could receive per month, but hey.. Time will tell

Nope...

If I have 10 aircraft on order with boeing, 10 on order with airbus and 10 on order with embraer. I'll get 5 Boeings, 5 Airbus' and 5 Embraer.

Thanks for clarifying that, I just mis-interpreted that part then.

Thanks!
