Hello,
I am in world #1297 with player id 36076.
The date now of the game is 20 May 1993. The previous day at 19th of May I was editing the routes in order to increase the loadfactor and I increased it almost 1% from 97% to 98+%. Suddenly when I checked the ranking I saw that I fell 3 positions from 16 to 19 and loosing 1,000,000,000 value
The exactly numbers are
16 Cretan Air GCA €21,470,244,968 417,186 96.53% 36076 19th of May
19 Cretan Air GCA €20,484,013,412 426,209 98.19% 36076 19th of May
19 Cretan Air GCA €20,546,237,073 426,630 98.21% 36076 20th of May
In parallel the 19th of May I had this transaction:
The following aircraft has been bought from you by Maki Airlines: #11469 - BAC 111-475 at a price of € 27,500,000
Maybe this is not a bug, but it seems strange for me. Does anyone knows something? I have also screenshots of the same day.

Most probably because I accepted your brokerage requests at that time.
Your two brokerage requests for A330-300LR's and A300-600R's demanded a combined downpayment of 981,542,935. The downpayment would be counted as your asset before the requests were accepted, since you could have retracted the requests with a full refund of downpayment. As soon as the broker (myself in this case) has accepted the brokerage requests, the downpayment would change into capital expenditures. They would be treated as sunk costs (ie. cannot be recovered regardless), and therefore subtracted from your assets. The ownership of the downpayment would be transferred to the aircraft manufacturer, while the titles of the aircrafts would be in the broker's hands. As a result, your asset would not take into account of the aircrafts being manufactured under brokerage requests, unlike when you order directly from the manufacturer. The aircrafts would only count as your assets once you have paid the rest of the costs, and taken delivery (and thus ownership) of them.
Hope this helps.

Interesting... I haven't thought this. It is a good explanation.
Thanks
