When will FSA not sell any aircraft ?

Post by Ankara » Mon Oct 13, 2008 4:18 pm

Dear Developers,

First of all, I really think that "Manufacturers List" should be removed or "really limited" to create real Traders and Leasing Market.

Secondly, i know that was discussed in other topics but aircraft should cost more a lot then current for the airlines. (taxes , routine maintenance or etc.) It could not be so easy to own an aircraft for the airlines. Also, grounded A/Cs should have higher costs as well.

Thank you once again for your kind concern in advance.

First, the only time that FSA will not sell any aircraft is when all of the airplane manufactuers go out of business. It makes no sense to restrict the pool of aircraft when they are being actively manufactured in the real world (thus there's no telling how many will really get sold).

Second, the issue of working the trader's market and leasing has been discussed several times as has increasing cost types, however there are two issues that have to be considered -

1) Relaxed Reality. We do not want to make this so involved that people can't enjoy the system flying becuase they've having to micromanage the airline every day to keep it afloat. There are other programs out there that let you do that if that's what you want to do.

2) Complexity of Code. We don't want to make the client (or the web server program) so complex that it becomes a burden on any system. Right now the server program is quite a burden on the server as it is and we need to be careful how much additional burden we load up on or else we'll end up having to purchase dedicated servers which cost a lot of money. Konny & DaKurt want to keep this program freeware and going to dedicated servers will only be possible with the help of large donations or by going payware. The second option really isn't the way anyone wants to see this go.
