Is there any way to determine how much it costs to create a base before you purchase the required number of gates?

It's a pain to buy 4 gates of an airport and then you don't have the money to create a base there....

General rules of thumb are all i can really give you.

creating a base at a big airport (300,000/mo rent) is much more expensive then a small airport (50,000/mo rent).

Also, it tends to be a significant multiple against the cost (15+), so the difference in gate costs compounds pretty well out between the various cost levels.

I think I paid more for my Base at Marseille than I did for the one at Antalya. Antalya has the bigger airport though.

There are a few "Quirks" with the gate rent gate rent fees. Not sure if this is one of them.

It's always nice to ask questions about some functions in programs only to realise that the proggers themselves have no idea how it works  :mrgreen:

I found that two of my gates that rent for 100,000, needed 8,000,000 to create a base.
