Today I've been trying to make my airline more realistic.
I thought my airplanes could fly roughly between 6 am and 12pm (which does happen). That'd be 14 hours left. I made 20 of that to make it a bit more realistic.
When I looked at the on-time performance, BAM, it's still red. I changed the free hours to 30, BAM, still red.
How do I get that in the green? By having 140 free hours? Don't think that'd be realistic. (although I'd have to admit that 6 to 12 isn't realistic either )
On the other hand, long-haul planes fly almost coninuously (with the exeption of gate thingies and waiting to stay on schedule) That's because they fly through the night. They should be able to have only like 20 free hours, but have superb on-time performance.

I was wandering the same thing!??

Quite honestly, any of the colored bars you see in AE are screwed up to much to be accurate.

I'd shoot for 40hrs free on all your aircraft, up to 20hrs for longhaul.

If you want to have 100 in on-time perfomance I think you should have at least 70 hours available. This is because if you look at the flight list of every aircraft you'll see that the time of each trip is doubled because the plane has to go and return and the return is not accounted when you are setting a e new route. Correct me if I'm wrong

I just utilize my aircraft to the max, usually only leaving about 8-10 hours free on short-range aircraft.
