I have been wondering, how is the "Base Cost Per Hour" calculated in Ae? Only because some of the BCpH does not make sense in Sim 2. For instance, the Boeing 777 cost more per hour than the A360? Which does not make sense since everyone is switching to 2 engine high capacity long range aircraft because of their fuel effiecency. Im sure that even if the 777 engine where bigger, I doubt that 2 of them burn more fuel per hour than 4 A340 engines.

Another thing is the the A380 and 747. The A380 is a new aircraft with new tech, engines which have more power and burn less than the 747. Yes it is bigger, but i dont know should it not be around the same price or slight cheaper if you put all of those in consideration? (no too sure about this argument).

In the game is the Avg Fuel Flow per engine on the aircraft or for the entire aircraft? Thanks.

With a new fuel calculation system I will also recalculate the BCpH - this data is not fully correct, mostly based on the assumption that you will fly one hour with full thrust.

By the way: BPpH is just an information and won't be used in the calculation of costs for routes (just fuel cost and labor cost will be used then).

Cool, thanks for the response!
