Title: Major Update for Leasing & Aircraft Sale
Post by: StephenM on October 13, 2007, 08:31:36 pm
I have added 2 major security features for leasing:

1. You must have more than one aircraft in your fleet before you can lease any out or sell aircraft. This is designed to stop feeder accounts for a start helping airlines out at rediculous prices. Its designed to stop one side of the cheating. Once you have a second aircraft however this check is not valid.

2. Any aircraft can no longer be leased for less than 5% of value or greater than 50% of original value. So as an aircraft ages these buffers do not change. Again this is to stop cheating by feeding accounts through lease outs. Also stopped with auto-bankruptcy.

Any feedback on these 2 features let me know.

i havent got to rent any aircraft for myself, one thing that is on my mind tho,
is there a feature that makes renting a contract? like, you cant return the aircraft unless you pay a termination fee and the lease price for the rest of the lease time?

if not, im for this, then again, the only leases i know about are for renting apartments, so maybe it is different for cars and aircraft alike.

The early return penalty is not implemented yet. It will be in the near future.

Looks like a good fix to deal with the miscreants.

But, just to get it straight, you can have two planes and lease them out both right?

Correct. It delays the time it takes to be able to lease out aircraft.

Edit: If you can come up with further ideas to stop aicraft feeding that does not involve AE IP Blanket bans please let me know.  :D

Its frustrating that these steps were necessary.

Kind of like Airline Tycoon, but they have penalties on contracts.
