In Topic: AE should be pay to win

I believe this would filter out tumors and less desirables. Maintaining a pure community is essential, and this is the way forward.

Maybe, but consider that this is more of a simulation then a game. also consider that many who play this (myself included) are broke and can't afford to pay for much. Lastly, spam lines may use the ability to buy cash ( if they ever added one) to increase their ability to clog up routes. In my honest opinion, if the AE staff team were to ever implement pay to win, they should host an open vote first, and only do it if an 80% yes is counted.

To Minimize leasing costs, set to a 5-10 year term, This way you can spend less on monthly leases and put more aside towards leasing new and better aircraft.

 

Also a quick question. Will owning a Terminal decrease gate costs?

In Topic: Why am I not making profit :/

26 February 2017 - 12:40 AM

I run an airline that makes 15mil+ every half hour. Here's how i started

- Chose the plane with the best fuel efficiency and most passengers.

-Started in YEG Edmonton Int'l

-Opened a few different flights to YXX and to YYC as well as to Yellowknife.

- Did ok at this point.

- Increased my starter plane lease to a 10 year term

- Saved up until i could afford to start getting more of the same plane as my starter. (This keeps maintenance cossts down)

- Checked on my routes daily and made sure they were full of passengers.

- took out a few bonds to help keep my cash above negative

-Modeled the Ifs to make a profit of over $100 per passenger

-implemented basic IFE and set ads to 10 min intervals.

- At this point I was making around 1.5-2 mil every half hour.

Hope this helps. You can be profitable and do medium to major runs.
