Aircraft Leasing

[Unknown98]

Well both, kind of. Larger planes have longer lead + build times.

I just noticed an error while looking at the code that calculates delivery wait times. I've just now corrected it, so any aircraft leased prior to this post will have different wait times.

The (new) formula is:

Lead time: Max seats/25
Build time: Max seats/50

Those figures are in days. Lead time is the initial wait until production starts and build time is the time it takes for each aircraft to be built. Lead time is not per aircraft. So lets say lead time is 6 days and build time is 3 days, and you order 3 aircraft:

6 days LT
3 days BT
*1st aircraft delivered* (day 9)
3 days BT
*2nd aircraft delivered* (day 12)
3 days BT
*3rd aircraft delivered* (day 15)

So the deliveries stack like that, as you can see.
