RE: IL-96-200 - skifans - 04-15-2017
What do people thing about this? Personally i think aircraft should remain in the game even if they are demonstrably worse in every way to give people the freedom to run their aircraft who they want, the point is to try and offer a realish environment for people to grow their own airline in, and not all aircraft are created equal and they shouldn't necessary be 'balanced". I don't know anything about the il96-200/400 but if the 200 never was offered commercially then definitely I think it should be switched out, but I'm just potentially conserved at the president being set for balancing and adjusting figures.

Just keep the planes that are sold with the stats they have when sold.
Not all options have to be as good as the next. Surely if you want to make the most money you will fly a lot of state of the art craft and good on you. Me as it stands I likely will fly a fleet of outdated VC10s burning fuel and maintenance hours like it is no one's business. As long as it can be done it should be fine.

Yeah. When you consider fuel and maintenance, long-term operating costs will eventually - maybe not at the very beginning, but eventually - make up for the cheaper price of the aircraft.
Consider fuel usage. The brand new A350-900 is 2.5 gallons/mi more efficient than the IL-96-400. At an average fuel price of $4.50/mi (still might need to be adjusted, that's just a quick placeholder value I made), that equals out to a cost savings of $11.25 per MILE. So lets say you do a 3,000 mi flight. With the A350 you would be saving $33,750 in fuel costs. Just on that ONE flight. Over time that will add up.
So while it may be cheap, it's cheap for a reason.
Also Idk if I was clear before, but the changes I made to the range/fuel usage of the aircraft are the real values, I didn't change them just to balance it out. The old figures were incorrect.
