Such a shame this nice game is being destroyed by cheaters
First things first, if you had read my posts above, you would have seen what happened.
My friends have been playing for months now, and with the recent server and database problems, they got fed up with that. You can check their IDs, if you want to, just let me know and I will get them for you.
I am not a cheater. If you read again what I wrote up there, you will see I did not cheat, but used an opportunity offered to me by my friends. I sold with a small profit, and made enough money to buy said Q400s (separately, I did not expect the additional influx in planes to sell, so I had to buy the second one later, when the funds became available).
I am also still operating one Beech, as said, and have the gates for the rest of my routes already in posesion. Again, I am not cheating, it is something I myself strongly detest. I am not about to do so myself. I want to build my airline in a fair way. As far as I can tell, I did not do anything wrong with what I did. Didn't I help others expand because of selling those planes that would never have come into the game again if these guys didn't send them to me after they created their airline? I made a profit on them, yes, but tell me, had you gotten such an offer, would you not have done so? In the previous version it happened all the time. It's a matter of offer and demand. There is demand, I got cheap offers, which I sold again (since there was/is great demand) with a slight profit. That's business, and that's what this game, ultimately, is all about: Simulating a business in a market environment.
As for the gates: They should only be returned 2 days from now, by which time I have the Q400s. I got them today, 24 hours after starting, I should get the warning about unused gates, but at the same time I would get my planes, as said, and will put them on the routes. Perhaps Graf had to wait a while, since the Airbus cue was long?
