This is garbage... Why did all my gates at Midway get released??? I had 15... Now I can't expand anymore since my gates are magically gone.. What's going on??  I had enough DOP to easily pay for them, I was using over 1/3 of the gates.... Somehow they all got magically released... This game sucks...

Had you used all 15?
If not, they would have been removed by the EOM (end of month) script.

Wow... that's cabbages if I ever heard it... Well then... This game sucks...

If you afford to pay for the rent you should be able to keep what you want....

How else can you expand your base?

Firstly, Language thanks.
Secondly, it's to avoid gate hogging that can occur.

EDIT: Cabbages stephen? Is that all you could think of? :lol:

Gates are automatically released for disuse because it would be all too simple for a large airline to simply rent up a huge amount of excess gates and thereby squash competition.  Mind you, even now this still can (and sometimes does) occur, but until we get terminals finished up and launched there is no value in changing this.

Sorry you lost your gates, but you gotta use 'em or lose 'em.

Then why charge for them right as I get them??? You should charge at the end of the month after the gates are released.... Otherwise I'm paying for something I  won't be able to keep.....

The reason why there are so many changes is to stop people from renting them all and creating monolopolies at airports, granted its still happening with regard to some airlines but we have moved to fix that.

Frankly... no one forces you to be here. I know this is not what I am supposed to be saying as a mod, but I am just being honest. If you think this little "feature" piss you off that much, I don't really see "success" for you in this game.

And honestly, the game would be far worse if one airline was allowed to rent 200 gates and not use them. And trust me, you wouldn't be happy. To say the least.

And in some ways, that was happening. (note: past tense all)

Anyway, Dex, in someways you are right in that "statement". :roll:

Not just in some ways :) But yeah, it wasn't really moderator-ish but still a good point :)
