DOP

[Scandalian Airlines]

As you can see, almost 3 beech's DOP will make one An-24V.

Depends on where you go
My AN-24V's range from 123K to 455K.

just one more question, In the game is there 31 days in the game month and is the profit of the aircraft how much money the plane gets every game day? (I've forgot all of these )

also if thats the case is this calculation corrent:
p=Profit that plane makes
g=gate costs
a=lease of aircraft

(p x 31)-(g+a)

Nope, a game month consists of 24 days. Each day is an hour in real life. You forgot in your calculation the fees you need to pay when updating your routes (in case you do that.)

so does that mean every real life day is one month in the game? no wonder why it goes so fast

What will the correct formula be then? I'm asking for the formula so its easy for everyone to be able to calculate their profit

Well, your monthly totals (for one REAL DAY) can be calculated on this basis:

DOP x 24 + leasing (out) fees - gate rental fees - leasing (in) fees - miscellanious expenses (such as route research fees)

The result of the formula above you will also find in the "Finance" screen: Projected Totals -> Profit/Loss. There is no need for manual calculation :wink:

I love doing manual calculations when i know it will come out right

Why not just leave it to Stephan?

lol
and thank you for all the help, but it seems i get a lot less for domestic flight then international, is the profit on the routes already minus gate costs?

[pocketbookbrando]

No gates are an additional cost.

[DarthRobby]

ok, that makes a lot of sense, thanks!

[pocketbookbrando]

Actually, looking at it now it doesn't.  There should be a comma after the first word.  Hopefully, you understood that.

[DarthRobby]

no, i didn't understand that

[pocketbookbrando]

DOP is just what you make in one day on the plane flying the routes.  Gates are considered a fixed cost and are not included in that.

[DarthRobby]

oh, well i understand that, and the comma thing now, instead of

No gates are an additional cost.

it should be

No, gates are an additional cost.

and i knew what DOP was

P.S. with the help of my alliance, i have tripled (or triced) it

[pocketbookbrando]

Yeah, it will improve maybe $600k.  Not so sure that that's the best strategy.

Of course, everyone is making $1 routes now anyways.  Put your 737 on some else's existing routes.  You're forced to lower the route price quite a bit in order to fill your plane.  The person then crashes the price of the route and you're stuck with a very small DOP for something that you've been saving up for days for.

Well, mines at a cheery 650,000
