[Fixed] Airline value increasing after scrapping a plane

[1993matias]

I just scrapped a plane, and my value increased from 4,789,833,878 to 4,792,759,109; i.e. an increase of three million. But I just scrapped a plane? Doesn't that decrease my value?

ID# 14837
WID#1241
Id# of the scrapped aircraft: 17914

Thats a bit bizzare. Did you buy it off the aircraft market previously?

[1993matias]

No, I bought it as new. But maybe it is because of the ~3 million I received for scrapping it?

I'll try to scrap another plane to see if it happens again.

EDIT: Yes, it happened again, a/c id 17916

EDIT 2: I just discovered a drop of about 25 million in my value from the first post (4,767,825,432). I think the drop in value happens at month change, and not inmideatly.

It should happen instantly since its not linked into monthly finances. Bit of a strange one but not overly important. I'll take a look when I get a chance after catching up on other AM work.

The change at the month is likely to be the monthly costs dropping your value a bit. I've just staken a sample of one of your old aircraft with no routes on it. (Fokker 28 ID 18008) You should see a drop of about 17.4mil if you scrapped it. Nothing is jumping out at me at the moment.

Hmm... The value increased by two million. I'll see in at the month change if something changes.

Ah I got it now. Its doing everything correctly, the problem is that you receive the cash before the aircraft is actually scrapped. Because of that the game re-values your airline with the additional cash now in your balance and because that happens before the aircraft is scrapped, the old aircraft value remains in the calculation. At the month/day change because you get cash in/out the airline is re-valued at that point and the aircraft that was scrapped then disappears from the valuation. I will swap around the cash changing points to make sure the plane moves first.

Thanks for the report, interesting one to figure out!

Hehe, I'm glad I can help
