General Chat / Replacing Aircraft

« on: July 02, 2010, 02:45:52 pm »

I've been pretty sick and tired of having to replace my aircraft every 5 years or so (60 odd days). If I don't they'll grow old and then cost way more to maintain. Its really a headache when we have to replace one route at a time, with the same flight no (I like that), especially if its a short haul jet, which can have as many as 15 routes. Multiply this by about 10 planes (on average), we have a few hours which could be well, better spent

So I think that there has to be a method of replacing routes faster. yes, I am aware of the "restart route with different aircraft" button, but to me, it makes things worse.

So, what's your take on this?

Actually, I use the L-1011 VERY (really not lying!) profitably. When i disposed off my DC-10s, I got back that 200million and my yearly profit went back up to like 350million a month...
But thats not the issue now. That was like 7AM years ago. Currently focussing ion the 727/757 saga...

Game Strategy / Aircraft that oppose each other???

Hey,

I'm operating an airline of about 19-20billion in value. I've noticed that using the DC-10 and the L-1011 together (they were competing aircraft designed for the same market), they drastically lowered my total profit by like 200million!
Does the same thing apply for others, like the 727/757 (the 757 was designed to replace the 727)?
