It's not really the amount I have a problem with - anything to slow the game is good, but I could lease out a plane now and in 2,3,5..

? years I could be losing money on it due to maintenance fees - there's no way of knowing.
Equally there is no way of properly planning fleet replacement without having some idea of these figures.

Is there a point where maintenance fees reach 10% of a planes original value?

so, you should throw the plane away when it is 1 year old.
keep on using new planes to keep figure low

It that case, every 1.75 week, you'll have to buy the same plane again and again. I bet your airline grows slowly :wink:

Most certainly, I did not calculate the exact time this happens, but with the former code it was less than four game years.

Maintenance cost now down by 1/6 of former cost. I'll wait until I see how quickly it rises now...

I am under the impression it changes for those with multiple bases?

I added 8 planes valued 350M € and my maintenance cost went from 70M € to 90M €. That's an increase of 2.5M€ per plane.

Whatever...

I know it's a lot, but think of a real airline, if 1/2 or even 1/3 of their revenue was profit, they would be doing incredibly well. I know we all like to have the ability to buy all the planes we want all the time, but to truly be realistic, I think the costs would have to be higher rather than lower. That being said, I don't think the maintenance costs going up so quickly is very realistic. On the other hand, it's not realistic to be able to use a plane for two years and then sell it for a decent profit over what you originally paid for it.

Anyone want to challenge this for the highest maintenance costs??

Maintenance Fees (Monthly) €211,707,555 €211,707,555

I don't mind it tho. I still make close to half of a billion Euros a month after costs...
