Title: [not a bug]fees not being pro-rated
Post by: zosorock on January 13, 2008, 06:16:28 am

Not sure if this is a bug or not but I started the game and was adding gates as I was going... then the game suddenly jumped from the 24th of Aprial to the 1st of May and I got charged it all over again (for a full month) as you can see below:

1/5/1971   Monthly Gates Fees   €0   €1,000,000
24/4/1971   Gate Rental (Goiania - Santa Genoveva Airpo)   €0   €50,000
20/4/1971   Gate Rental (Brasilia Int´l Airport - Presi)   €0   €150,000
10/4/1971   Gate Rental (Rio de Janeiro - Santos Dumont)   €0   €100,000
9/4/1971   Gate Rental (Belo Horizonte - Tancredo Neve)   €0   €200,000
9/4/1971   Gate Rental (São Paulo - Guarulhos Int´l Ai)   €0   €200,000

And not to be pick but adding them all up comes to 700k not 1mi :)

The same happened with my airplanes. It got to be a pretty tight month. No one got paid overtime because of that!  :D LOL

Not a bug.

Your gate rental fees aircraft fees and everything else gets paid on the 24th of each month

And a game month only has 24 days, because a real day has 24 hours. Fees are paid on the 24th.

Ah ok... but still don't you think they should be pro-rated? If I paid for a full month of lease or gate rental, then one day goes by and I get charged again?

I rented a Brasilia gate on the 20, five days later I was charged again. I rented a Goiania gate on the 24th, next day I was charged again.

Do you see what I am saying?

I usually avoid renting gates after the 20th of the month unless it's urgent.

Its just the way the game works ;) As previously stated, all fees are paid on the 24th of every month.

Ah I see. That would be a nice feature to add do you agree? It would have to divide the lease/rent by 24, times the number of days until next month and charge the player only that pro-rated amount. Possibly would help new players a lot :)

Anyhow, I am planning accordingly for now. Thank you!
