I've just ordered an A333, and the downpayment was to have been about $63 million. Everything goes fine, the plane's on the orderbook, but my money's still there.

I knew Airbus gave heavy discounts to some of its customers, but this is nuts

I'm starting to think the script for orders is getting pretty messed up right now.

Nope, this has happened before. Way back in the last round this happened to a number of people.

So I just sit tight and wait for the Mafia to collect the cash then?

Since this has happened before - what happens when the plane gets delivered? Will I get $125 million taken, $62.9 million, or will it be free? Will a developer be taking care of this or what? I mean like going into my account and taking money away, like what happened to Maestro with the "fine".

I've heard this happen to some people, you will either just get charged for half the plane when it arrives or won't get charged at all.

I had a similar thing happen to me, only mine was the other way around. I ordered 1 A330-200, and it gave me 2 and a -52 mill debt!

hmmm...i wonder what's going on

It's probably that the server can't handle the amount of orders that are happening.

[SparkyF]

if only it could happen 2 me lol! nah only kiddin it seems really bad!

[Northstar]

So anyway what do I do here? I don't want to be penalised for or accused of cheating. Do I just pretend I have $60 million less than I actually do? I can't actually just keep that up the rest of this round, can I? Can I use this money without getting "fined" or anything like that? It isn't actually all the same if I just get it taken away later, because the cash now allows me to make some major aircraft purchases.

Not to worry northstar. Its a bug so at worse they might adjust the balance payment. No question of fining you. Atleast thats the view I hold.

i wish airbus loved me....

[StephenM]

With airline sims there is a "No Sympathy" stance, so you should be entitled to use the cash.

No, and Saab doesn´t like me.....

[JDubman]

In the last game (b4 the reset) i got an EMB-190LR with no downpayment.

[rocksandfossils]

I'm reporting another instance of this bug.

I just ordered 4 B737-800's and didn't get charged for a downpayment.

[thehammy]

when i bought my airbus it ordered 2 for me instead of 1 unfortunatly which put me in major debt and i am only recovering from it now
