Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

Okey Dokey, I am only making notes on something that may seem "odd" to me ..... as busy as you are and as fluid as the industry is, I thought some of these may have slipped through the cracks of time since you last updated the manufacturers list.

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

225 lines of 298 completed. Should have it done in the next couple of days.
Some places I am making "best guess" due to lack of information. 8)

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

Another way to do this might be to just "think outside the box" and open "FSA aircraft sales offices" in each region and that's where they spawn. If you don't want to fly them from where they spawn in, you can pay the transfer fee. I do think the realism of having to go fetch your new bird from the ...

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

Joe wrote: Hi Sam, this is looking very good. We should figure out, when there is more than one production facility how do we handle that, would the purchaser get a choice of where to pick it up? I also think that for many of these where we can't find the exact airport we just need to pick one that...

Re: Should we ground the 737-8 Max?

Yeah the Airbus A320Neo debuted and caught them off guard and 9 months behind. The problem with the new engines and the modified mounting system was the CG change. The Max - now being called the "737 dash 8 & 737 dash 9" in an obvious micro thin attempt at rebranding had to have the MCAS system to m...

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

I'm almost halfway done .... when able please take a peek and see if this is the data you need. Some places will be a "best guess" and I left them blank.

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

thanks, I'll get on it with weather going to winter, it gives me something to do.. LOL

Some aircraft there is no mention of exact factory location, just "country of origin" so I am putting that into notes.

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

Some research would have to be done for all the manufacturer's to find their "final assembly lines" where the aircraft are certified and ready for customer acceptance. This is Airbus: https://i.imgur.com/fa8Ta0B.jpg If this idea appeals to you Joe, I can start up a Google Spreadsheet and begin resea...

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

I would be OK with a "factory delivery acceptance" and then one would have to pay to have it transferred or go get it. (new aircraft from the Manufacturer's List). I would not want to see new airline operators have to wait for new aircraft deliveries, that would most certainly drive them away from t...

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

Many airlines do not really own the aircraft they fly. Like a lot of people do for cars, they lease them, from aircraft leasing firms. Four out of 10 commercial aircraft worldwide are on lease. Also, and unlike cars, you’re not going to take home your new jet on the day you sign the contract. Or ev...

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

Yeah, I did not take into consideration the "market players" / gamers who would manipulate a bulk bonus into resales profits.... It's a part of the virtual world here, like it or not. So scratch this idea, more hassle than worth. As to the seating proposal: (not this thread's topic, sorry) Regarding...

Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

In the real world when airlines buy aircraft in numbers, they do not pay "list price" for them. Have you ever considered something like this in the "Manufacturer" only list whereby an airline can get say 10-30% off for buying more than 1 airplane at a time? 10% off on the 2nd one, 15% off on a third...

Re: Airport Update 2020

That Airport Code Differences page is a nice touch, thanks. Yeah - those dang, durned, dastardly heliports on/near major airport properties can snare your plane on a divert like a mouse trap, I've been there done that!

Re: Airport Update 2020

What would be cool but a TON of work I'm sure would be a system whereby in our settings, we tell FSAirlines what simulator we are using and then it assigns the codes specific to that sim. It would take multiple fields for each format for EVERY airport in the world..... that would be a huge undertaki...
