Game Strategy / the MD-11ER SUCKS!!! dont waste money on them!!

what a POS!! this plane (and this game) suck, avoid it like the plague. i bought 10 of them thinking the extra long 8,326km range would help me to run some profitable long haul frequencies. BUT THIS POS WONT EVEN MAKE A FULL 5500km route!!! what a joke, there has to be a game flaw with this one. almost 300MM wasted on each of these and it wont even make a full 5500km route, it only says it can do .5!! you have to be kidding me. between the huge waste of fuel, the incredibly high maintenance costs and the fact that it wont even do what its supposed to do which is go long routes you guys really screwed this one up 
In general I think the algorithm for long distance routes is not correct. Planes from ATL to London Heathrow dont make nearly the money that shorter route planes make to far less populated areas. You have made the game so that long distance routes using the most expensive planes are not cost effective. So basically once you get to a certain point in the game it becomes less and less fun to play. You work hard to build up your airline and then when its supposed to get fun you have a terrible algorithm that just sucks the fun right out of it. good work guys!!! I have moved on to a more well written game.
