Hi,
2). new aircraft generally don't need maintenance for a number of years/cycles but the players get punished from the start of the game. Why?
( surely all aircraft should be exempt for, at least, the first year. Thus, the player can establish themselves before maintenance kicks in)
All aircraft need maintenance for day one, there are daily and weekly checks. This is what the game tries to emulate. For older aircraft the maintenance price is higher due to more parts being replaced rather than more time spent on ground.
I would disagree with your statement. Daily/ weekly checks are normally done by the pilot/crew before each flight and especially 1st flight of day. This is the responsibility of the crew as part of their jobs, rather than a maintenance crew running around every aircraft daily. Especially on new aircraft.
I do understand that this is a test game to the changes but needs some fine tuning.
All different aircraft variations need maintenance as a 100 seat aircraft can't cover a 140 seat aircraft over a longer distance. Then can you explain the difference, other than the engines, on the 2 aircraft below.
Douglas DC-9-15 80 487 1310 0.38 Pratt & Whitney JT8D-1 738 €33,763,328 Buy
Douglas DC-9-11 80 487 1310 0.38 P&W JT8D-5 738 €33,769,031 Buy
With exactly the same seats/speed/distance and fuel usage. I fail to see why either of these aircraft can't substitute the other and therefore be classed as the same under the maintenance issue
