I built them again.  Just couldn't figure out what happened to the last ones.  I have 24 rented and had like 20 built but they disappeared.  Building them again fixed it.

Bugs / Gate Problems

« on: April 09, 2013, 03:37:30 am »

I have rented and built gates at ORD.  For some reason, my built gates have disappeared and it shows over 100% utilization at ORD and I cannot create or alter routes because of this.  Info as follows:

This is the only airport having a problem at this point.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx

Stephen,

I would not mind trying to figure out a new world with new maint. costs.  The ideas you had in your message sound more "real world".  Cycles for airplanes such as you mentioned (flying short routes, 24 hours) takes much more out of a plane than flying 3 cycles a day on longer routes.

Also, if there is any way to make maint, costs known or even be able to anticipate would be great.  Buying a used plane is a crap shoot depeneding on fleet size and age.  I got burned so bad the first time that I won't buy used planes and have leased or waiting to buy my own new planes than take a gamble on purchasing 2 or 3 year old used planes.

Just started playing but have enjoyed what I see so far, just a few unkonwns for newbies like me that can take some "stress" out of the equation.

Yea. Nothing like a $54M mistake on your 4th day.  It looks like a 3 or 4 game month setback.  Sure would be nice to have some way of calculating what maintenance costs will be before you purchase aircraft.  I knew they would be a bit higher on older planes but never assumed that they would cost 15 million more per month, per plane to maintain than the 707's were costing.  I could have bought the planes for $1.00 and couldn't make a profit with them.

I kind of had the same thing happen to me.  Bought (2) 7 year old 737's and my monthly maintenance went up by 34 million from 11 to 45 million..  Total fleet is (5) 3 month old 707's, (2) leased MD 87 and the two 737's.  Should this addition have caused this much of an increase?  If so, why would anyone ever buy a used plane.  I could have leased 2 MD's for 8.5 mill per month.
