I remember this being discussed a couple years ago and back at that time I believe the way AE was set up........ leased aircraft were included in an airline's value as if it were an asset.
Had a very large and profitable airline rated #1 became very busy with work and couldn't run an airline that big anymore.
So rather than bankrupt it I picked what I hoped would be a good player and let him take over.
He quickly made many changes and over a period of a few weeks ran it into the ground........it ended up at about #30 or #40 in the rankings.
And then I see some airlines here asking for someone to take over that are still very new with just a few dozen aircraft........and they have both Russian and Western planes and several different models.
Why take over a mess like that.......why not just start your own from scratch ?
I've been away for a couple years and back then I mentioned a few ways to improve AE.
I'm pleased to see a few of what I think are positive changes, at least for someone who's life can't be all about AE.
- Game worlds with no leasing, I know not everyone will agree but not being able to lease aircraft dramatically slows down the expansion of airlines. This was the reason I've never finished a game world......because I like building up a top 10 airline but after a few years in most games with leasing that means running over a thousand aircraft, something I don't have time for.
- The speed seems to be faster now.........15 - 20 minutes instead of 20 - 30 per day, I like that on some game worlds.
- Also, the micromanaging required to run an airline seems to be easier now.......or is that just my imagination.
Anyways .........I think Yuxi has been listening to us and making AE better.
