also there is another thing about warehouses. is it possible to make it available that they can take charge of certain packages until we can transfer an aircraft to load them? at this time it is only possible to exchange packages between aircraft an warehouse but no way to take packages from an airport and put it in warehouse until an aircraft is available to transfer them.

great work :D
Actually you can transfer directly to the warehouse, guess I should investigate that.
If your a pilot you can transfer to a warehouse if you at the airport and can book aircraft of its fleet. To do so at any airport you need 'Cargo' permission in your VA rank.

There was one issue that I fixed that was causing some maintenance centers to not take cargo.

Question regarding Maintenance Centers and cargo ... are they fleet specific or airline specific? Our Maintenance Centers operate independently from our fleets so we can track profitability. So the "fleet" they are assigned to has no aircraft. I have yet to find a link that allows me to offload packages at either KBOI or KLAS.

EDITED/ADD:
OH DUH I found it you load warehouse like a plane from the drop down menu.

Maintenance centers are assigned to a fleet, as are warehouses, and you need to be able to book aircraft from that fleet to transfer packages from or too, even if that fleet does not own any. Take a look at the pilots rank under the section "Allow usage of fleet aircraft"

EDIT: Glad you sorted it out.

You need an AN-124 or An-225 to transport a 100,000 kg package. We did not include the 747-f as an aircraft that could carry such bulky cargo. (I did say that in the list of package sizes.)

Is there any particular reason? 747 and 777 can handle the weight. :?:

Its not a function of weight, its a function of size, especially the size of the door on the aircraft. The 777-F and the 747-BCF have doors on the side of the aircraft so any payload needs to in the side and turned before heading down the hold so are limited to 2000 kg packages. The 747-F does have a nose that opens up so cargo can go straight in but not as wide as the tail gate on the An-124 so the 747-F can handle 20,000 kg packages while the An-124 can hold the larger 100,000 kg packages, an frankly the An-124 needs a reason to exist so it gets this bonus.

Has anyone tested the "failed delivery" penalty yet?

I have one package for Twin Falls I am going to sit on and see what happens when the expiration date to deliver hits.
