Whats wrong with the jetways?! 

FSX ones are fanastic.

Except when you pull a -700 to the gate and the door drops down 

Should have made a regular door and one with stairs.

Avsim and Flightsim are my two most visited sites for freeware! Im searching for basic planes...A319's old model 737's, 757 (-200 and -300)and other long haulers (777,767, 330).  Seems alot of them are payware...so I may have to start buying them 

Isnt there  a way to convert FS9 pieces of metal into FSX metal? Thought i read about that somewhere...

Also if anyone could give me a link to a repaint tutorial that would be neat.  I've always wanted to creat liveries

my DOP is still at around 700k but my Cash and Value keep climbing.  Right now I can't get into some good markets due to the lack of range of my Antonov's and Vardax's. Seems like I only need another 100-200 NM and I'd be sitting pretty  ;D

Anyone have a plane suggestion for that purpose?

Thanks in advanced and for all the continued help

Flight dynamics of some freeware add-ons in FSX...Did a barrel roll in a 747-200, 500 ft. above the Seattle airport (yeah...I Know...X-Plane).  I also flew it half way to LAX upside down before I got a headache.

The fact that my multiplayer connection always quits on me.

The fact that it's impossible to find new aircraft for FSX =/. Hate being stuck with the generics...

my DOP is 705.5k, with my airline value at about 18.3 mil.

I'll probably lease and buy more planes, but I dont know where to send em to lol.

you could always buy 4 gates, create the base, then return 3 of them and still have a hub at that airport.

Base in Minneapolis - St. Paul that takes midwestern US and southern Canada seriously.  To the competition: Watch out.

Thanks, and remember to fly Northern Airways

I just bought two of the little guys.  They dont give me as much profit as the starter planes, but at least they arent on lease.  I also leased another starter plane.

Fleet as of now:

4 starter

2 of the ones you recomeneded.

I'm expanding quite fast now, but when should I start adding more frequencies on my routes?

Thanks in advanced for the help.

Would that be lease or purchase?

Currently I own one starter plane and am leasing 2 more. My DOP is at about 460k in my second day of playing. 

Should I take out another lease, or let my money collect to try and lease different types of metal?

Im in W10, Northern Airways.

Seems like everywhere I go I have lots of competition.

Any help is appreciated.

What is DOP...I hear a lot of people talking about it on these boards.  Sorry if it seems like a bad question, just trying to get used to the game.

Well my starter piece of metal is all used up and the leasing/sale option is too expensive...I only have about 1.2m in cash right now

I may lease out another starter plane tomorrow when there is a new "month". Ill let my cash collect over night...I only have 575k right now.  Leasing larger planes is still tough atm so I'll focus on more regional flying istead of trying to get the long-range routs.

Excellent!

Right now im running 80% gate usage out of my home airport.  I should be able to get two more routes in before im forced to purchase another gate, correct?

Also, any suggestions for cheap medium range a/c (W10) that could take 1200 nm? I need to get the the East Coast
