Suggestions / More consistency in "States" in gate rentals

« on: January 12, 2012, 07:30:31 pm »

Right now, when going to the "Rent gate" screen and displaying all the airports in a certain region, it is very inconsistent as far as what countries have their political subdivisions represented (whether they're states, provinces, etc.).  You'll see the state an airport is in in Australia, the US, and Germany (all of which term their political subdivisions states), but not for Mexico (also called "states") or even Canada (provinces).

It would be very helpful if this information was included, so I can easily pick out the airports that are just in, say, Ontario.

Game Strategy / Trying to factor maintenance costs into this decision

« on: December 29, 2011, 08:25:47 pm »

I've found that on certain low-income routes, if I use a CW-20 instead of a DC-3 (despite the larger capacity depressing the prices, I can still get a higher DOC on these routes with a CW-20) I will make up the difference in the initial purchase price after about 3 1/2 years.  What I'm not so sure on is how much the increased maintenance costs of the CW-20, both because of its base value and because of the 3 1/2 year minimum before I turn a profit with it before factoring in maintenance costs, affects this.

Is there a way to know this beforehand to factor it in, or do I just have to gather data empirically over time to make my own calculations?

Suggestions / Sortable aircraft search results

« on: December 07, 2011, 06:35:29 pm »

When using the aircraft search, with whatever parameters are selected, results are sorted by price.  It'd be nice to be able to sort the list by the other information listed (pax capacity, fuel usage, range, etc.) to be more easily able to compare aircraft that are similar in one regard with one another.
