Is there a way that a theme game could be set up where the number of new and used aircraft is limited per month? In real world airlines can't add 20-50 planes in a month like I have done several times in games. If we could limit to say 5 new and 5 used planes a month in the theme game (slightly higher or lower). Or limit to 10 total aircraft purchases (new or used) a month. That would be cause for some serious thought in aircraft acquisition strategy. Not sure it can be done. But I think that would make for some interesting problems.

Just an idea.

It's not a problem with all routes. Just some routes. I have one route that is 193 miles. And I have a Q400 on it. It is charging me $4,035 a LEG for fuel for each and every flight and return flight. It is a 32 minute flight and $4,000 for fuel in a Q400. And arbitrairly it would occur on other routes. There is not rhyme or reason for the fuel spikes. Like consisitantly the same type or family of a/c. It is really a random problem. In the past I would get it where I mixed aircraft on a route (again not all the time butarbitrairly). It acts like it takes the fuel costs of the larger planes and applies it to the smaller ones. But now I have a route where its a single type. And the fuel flows are blown way out of proportion. And on a few routes I was charged a much higher fuel rate on the outboung leg than the return leg. Or some legs with normal fuel and an odball leg with high fuel (same route, same a/c).

I have tried for 4 days to pin it down but can't. It's very arbitrairy.

In one of the realistic games. Last month I was charged 250 million in income tax on 367 million in total revenue??? The month prior was about 337 million in revenue and about 45 million in taxes. Why the huge increase? Is it a fluke becuse of the server problems and game "time" has been screwy?? It put me over 187 million in the red. And a leased plane was just taken back. By the time I get to the black (assuming another big tax charge doesn't happen). I will be out of leased planes. Is there something I am missing or did something go wrong??
