I think that was way back with CAv4. lol Not sure. Out of curiosity, why does that affect anything? Real time game then why not real time maintenance checks?

It may have been. I guess it doesn't.. that's probably what I will end up doing. My thinking was things like C/D checks would never happen, but with the used market I guess they would pop up occasionally. We may still want to speed up the time it takes to do the maintenance checks however. Having a plane out of commission for 2 months may be a bit too much... unless that's what most people want. Personally I wouldn't have an issue with it as a player. It would require some strategic planning, having backup aircraft in place, etc. Might add a cool element to the game with regards to fleet management.

So currently you pay mechanics a salary. That is separate from the "weekly maintenance cost", which is a representation of line maintenance + parts, spares, equipment, tools, etc + the amortization of the A/B/C/D checks.

Once maintenance checks are implemented I'll need to adjust the weekly maintenance cost.
