I would like to ask why some airlines already have more than 1 aircrafts(Like ID 5025 have 2)? How do they get it? Any strategy?

Thank you~

I and the other brokers have multiple planes because we are brokers and we recive planes as scrap when another airline scraps a plane. But the disadvantage is I'm -3,000,000 in the hole right now because we have no choice but to pay the scrap value for the planes.

If I remember correctly, there was a lowest price threshold for selling aircraft.  I recall it being at least 50% or higher.  A DC-3 at 50% value is still worth €1.9m.  You cannot buy that with just €500,000!

Probably another Thai Airline fan, similar to the numerous incarnations of Cathay Pacific.

Well, if you look at Thai@LHR's routes I'd like to know your definition for him if not "cheater"!

You 'can' lease the DC-3 from older accounts that you not use anymore.

So if any day for any reason you got bankrupted and registered again to have another chance with another company, in this round, as you can not manage more than one account, you choose one and use the others to lease their initial aircrafts to you.

A suggestion... some accounts must be closed if there is no login or any change in a determined period of time.

But that would be cheating, and if you lease a plane from that initial airline it's actrually still running, right? Even though it does not fly it has operational revs in the form of lease money, and that should result in a ban for multiple accounts. And starting bogus companies that go bankrupt instantly in order to get cheap aircraft (especially while the game is in wait mode) should lead to a permanent ban IMO.

I'm not going to accuse anyone of cheating, but I will concede that every game has cheaters (don't get me started on pre-Punkbuster BF1942!) and I'm sure we have some here as well, if not now, then later.  Fine.  It will happen.  The mods will do their best to weed them out.

Me?  I'm going to play and have fun.  The last age was short for me, but I think I met some decent 'owners' in competition and in the forum.  I consider you friends and look forward to the new game.  If you guys see something shady, pm the mods and let them deal with it.  Lets not gnash our teeth here.  Game on!

Have FUN!!!!!!!

That would be cheating to creat accounts and give away super cheap leases.

I mean, it would be kind of obvious too, especially if it's a new airline with only one plane that suddenly leases a plane for $1000 or even $5000. It makes no sense as they won't be making enough money from that to even purchase a new plane for a long time. A route that isn't even full will bring in more money than that in a day. The cheapest plane right now is 1.1 million. That means it would take 220 real time days at $5000 a month to get enough money to purchase another plane.

Even so, two accounts on the same IP that are leasing planes to each other should be a sign of cheating.
