Game Strategy / Re: Profit calculations

Try your self,
look at the ticket price, and the profit in relation to the purchasing price of the aircraft.
Let the airbus fly a half route,
Let it fly same route with return,
fly 2 or 3 times same route.
now use a smaller aircraft say 80 seats 1/2 the size of your airbus,
see how ticket price jumps up and profit
because you can buy 2 aircrafts for the same price the airbus costs,
with double the profit.

BTW this is annoying for honest game players ...

This is a game flaw,
it had 2 years ago and stil has
making money verry quick the cheaters doing it this way:

use a small aircraft
let it fly to as many airport gates you can rent
only one way flights
and you can charge crazy ticket prices.

It should be,
the aircraft shouldn't be able to fly after flying a one way route without a
connecting flight to somewhere else.
When there are enough passengers on a route a bigger aircraft should be able to
fly with the same ticket price, Competition kicks in when the amount of passengers
designated to a airport is travelling out,  then you should loose more money with a smaller aircraft
because expenses pro passenger are higher on a smaller aircraft.

so in your case you should be able to make more money, but you don't.
set it to 0,5 way and find a second route to cover the extra flight time.

On low demand routes and short routes it does make sense but on long routes like flying from europe to south america with no competetors between airports with more then 10mil passengers you can not fly a 747 profitable your even going to loose alot of money on those long routes.

This is something i dont understand in this game,
if i buy a canadair with 32 seats it makes half the DOP as a 747 wich costs more then 10times as much.  
This how the big ones get so big quick just fill all local routes with fokkers and the DOP flies up.

I hope the programmers find a solution to chang the logic and tackle this problem.

Why people should trade in airplanes and not in gates?
second if you buy 5 gates create a base and build a terminal
you should only beable to build gates and rent them out,
but the person who renting them should not beable to build a terminal in the tree structure
so they have the change to grow there airline but not to kill the game.

Could be a nice bussiness  extra extension for the game...

Well you first have to fly before you can buy gates
then you need 5 gates to create a base and then build a terminal
after that it would be nice if you could lease out the extra gates youll not using
and create some extra income cq interest over the money invested.

Now new players have no change building there airline because there no gates left to buy or rent.

General Chat / Gates leasing

Pitty we cant rent or lease out gates, it would be a major expension in the game
I would be renting out slots  
Also creating a Hub where the amount of passengers flown in would be calculated with the flights flying
out so small airports can be profitable transfert into a connection centre.
cheers
