Used Aircraft Market

Well, once the full game goes live, I hope you can't order an aircraft paying 40% and sell it only seconds later for the full price anymore. Because that's the main issue of the used aircraft market right now.

I agree with Sora. This is crazy to see a A380 on sale for $423 Million in the used aircraft market. If someone wants to sell it the price should drop a lot or it should go to another kind of market. Maybe putting the plane on sale till the buyer appears.

Perhaps it would be possible to just sell the plane to the market, or list it for sale but continue flying it until someone agrees to buy it and then it is sold once it finishes the route its on or returns to its home base?

You will be able to, BUT you won't get paid instantly. You'll have to wait for someone to buy it. If you sell instantly (i.e. sell to broker) you will have to sell at 35% less than market value, thus eliminating any gain from buying at a discount and selling for instant profit. I'm currently working on implementing this now.

Well I don't want to make two different used markets, IMO that's just over-complicating things.

It would, although it would be a bit complicated code-wise to make that happen. Maybe that can be a future addition but for now to keep it simple I think if a plane is listed on the market you won't be able to use it.

Also, I belive the current aircraft being delivered instantly is just for testing. I belive unk has made it so you have to wait in the full version. It therefore makes sense that an unsused aircraft on the used market could go for more as it would be istantly availve instead of having to be delivered.

Exactly, you'll end up paying full price before you get the aircraft in the final version. For now it's just a good cheat.
