Look at my airline in R5 i've only got 15 planes at the moment and i'm in 45th place... i've been playing since monday you just have to know your airports.

 

 

Aegean Turkish Airlines 

 

edit: also know your planes very well and know what you need for a route for example at the time in the game right the 767 300 and 200 are practically cheat codes... in 2015 the airplanes are aging death sentences.

What are you talking about ........the 767 is a cheat code ?

It is pretty good on longer distance routes during it's era but it definitely is not the best overall money maker when it was being built.

In the game world were both in ( and I'm #1 ) the 767-300ER was the last model I took on, the first was the lowly 737-400 which often makes as much profit as the 767 at half the cost. 

And shortly after the 767-200 came out the A300-600 came out which was a more profitable aircraft to fly on larger routes up to 4,300 miles.

I'm the #1 airline in R5 but there's no cheating involved.

 

Just a matter of knowing all the different ways to increase your profits and being good at math.

 

Players that only use so called "spamming" to win will lose to me ( or any good player ) every time.

 

I've given advice in the forums and tried at times to give it to other airlines in the games I've been in........but it's surprising how many players don't want to accept advice and instead just keep making poor choices.

 

Actually, there's a couple of airlines in R5 that have kept pace and have been # 2 and #3 for a while now.

There both good players or they wouldn't be where they are and no one else is even close.

If they keep it up for a long time one of them will win R5 because very shortly I will shut down WestAir........have to go back to work.

 

Glennorway........if you want to become really good then learn everything you can from the forums........and know math.

 

One more tip once you get good at making money........

 

When your starting out in a new game world and you know how to grow fast but run into the cc credit crunch that only allows you to lease 20 aircraft.........don't take out that 2nd loan that lowers your credit rating to 20 leases.

If you get it right you can cruise right through this critical chokepoint without needing a second loan and get a jump on the competition by bringing on more models of aircraft sooner.


In Topic: What's your favorite aircraft in AE?

21 January 2016 - 08:12 PM

A340-300 or B777-300.

Yea, the A340-300 I think tie's the A330-300.........depending which route your flying them on.

 

 

The B777-300 is the #1 most profitable aircraft in the game
