It's a lot more profitable to have a 200 gate terminal than leasing gates, a 200 terminal can lower your gate payments at that airport by almost half, depending on the airport. For example, in S3A, I have a 200 terminal at ATH, and I only pay 152k for each gate compared to 217k for leased ones. Plus, your own gates cant be seized from the airport because of usage. Overall, 200 gate terminals are most profitable but it depends on the airport.

Just put your mind and think, play around with different designs until you find what you like the most, try looking at multiple liveries and putting your favorites together, ask some of your friends for feedback, etc. I usually come up with a simple design, play around with it, show it to some of my friends who might be online at the time of making, ask them for opinions and if they feel something should be changed, if they think something should be changed I'll change it and show it to them afterwards. In one word, it's just imagination.

Lol, that livery was one of my first liveries, I've now gotten somewhat better, created this one for a friend earlier

I was creating a livery for the 747SP for my airline on S3A, when I choose to repaint the shade of blue from a lighter blue to a darker shade of blue. I don't know which one to choose since they're both equally great to me. If you could leave your opinion, would be good.

 

This is the dark one: 

 

While this is the light one: 

 

Thanks!

The sliders don't say the amount of Max. Seats and percent of space to use. If you can, please fix, thanks.

Uh, hello, although I just started playing this game yesterday, I've been already aiming to join an alliance, and I just want to know if it's good doing it in those very very early stages or if I should focus more on other things and then try focusing on joining alliances (I don't mean I'm just aiming to join an alliance, I'm focusing heavily on trying to get my MD-83 on the air for as much time as possible making as much profit as possible). My only question is really if I should focus on it a little bit more, and if it will have any advantage at this stage.
