Personal Planes

Post by CRGaming » Thu Mar 18, 2021 12:25 am

Hi,
i wanted to fly a plane Solaris VA doesn't own so I bought it myself. (m20r) It can hold 3 passenger but when i file a private flight plan no passengers join me. is there a way to make revenue for my plane? is there a way to use my plane for VA flight?

You cannot make money with personal aircraft. They are for enjoyment only. You pay the cost, fuel and maintenance but you do not have to pay parking fee's nor will the plane be hit with any status deductions for not flying every 60 days.

I use mine to fly from hub to hub instead of buying tickets on the "Star Trek Transporter" which takes you there instantly.

You CAN, but it requires airline cooperation to give you your own "fleet" and permissions to do what you need to in order to operate it as a division of the mothership.

I'll have to look into that when i get to a higher rank in the airline. Basically I want to eventually buy a 748f and haul cargo on direct routes that the airline doesn't have.
