Not sure if this is a bug or not but I started the game and was adding gates as I was going... then the game suddenly jumped from the 24th of Aprial to the 1st of May and I got charged it all over again (for a full month) as you can see below:

1/5/1971   Monthly Gates Fees   €0   €1,000,000
24/4/1971   Gate Rental (Goiania - Santa Genoveva Airpo)   €0   €50,000
20/4/1971   Gate Rental (Brasilia Int´l Airport - Presi)   €0   €150,000
10/4/1971   Gate Rental (Rio de Janeiro - Santos Dumont)   €0   €100,000
9/4/1971   Gate Rental (Belo Horizonte - Tancredo Neve)   €0   €200,000
9/4/1971   Gate Rental (São Paulo - Guarulhos Int´l Ai)   €0   €200,000

And not to be pick but adding them all up comes to 700k not 1mi

The same happened with my airplanes. It got to be a pretty tight month. No one got paid overtime because of that!

LOL

Not a bug.

Your gate rental fees aircraft fees and everything else gets paid on the 24th of each month

And a game month only has 24 days, because a real day has 24 hours. Fees are paid on the 24th.

Ah ok... but still don't you think they should be pro-rated? If I paid for a full month of lease or gate rental, then one day goes by and I get charged again?

I rented a Brasilia gate on the 20, five days later I was charged again. I rented a Goiania gate on the 24th, next day I was charged again.

Do you see what I am saying?

I usually avoid renting gates after the 20th of the month unless it's urgent.

Its just the way the game works

As previously stated, all fees are paid on the 24th of every month.

Ah I see. That would be a nice feature to add do you agree? It would have to divide the lease/rent by 24, times the number of days until next month and charge the player only that pro-rated amount. Possibly would help new players a lot

Anyhow, I am planning accordingly for now. Thank you!
