Game Strategy / Re: buying or leasing

« on: July 12, 2010, 02:39:25 am »

On the contrary! Lease as many S/H as possible, on LOOOONG contracts - 99 months or more, at good rates. You're s/h costs ie maintainance, will be unchanged for 99 months (a/c are unprofitable after 50)! Then you only have to replace your l/h planes & routes. Far less irritating, and more fun to buy! Less time spent replacing a/c and routes!! Not sure if the profit is the same (it wont change for the life of the lease) campared to replacement planes, but it makes the game loads more managable!

Game Strategy / Maintanance fees for ageing aircraft accurate????

« on: December 28, 2009, 11:36:25 pm »

Hi all,

Sorry if this isn't the place to post this...
My question is are the maintanance fees of older aircraft accurate, i'm not an expert in this by any stretch. But, in real life, do older planes cost enough to destroy your profitability like they do in this game? i know the are more expensive for sure! But, start up airlines, and even established airlines are still making profits off 20y/o aircraft. i may be wrong in this i don;t know... just asking the question....
