Why do fleet planes cost what they do in wollars? Like why is buying the 738M just about as expensive as a plane that earns 4x as much per flight?
Which other M plane earns 4X more than a B38M?

A21NX

On their best routes
A21NX makes 4.2K roughly
B38M makes 3K roughly
A21NX is more expensive - both in GP and Wollars

Thank you for confirming that the plane that earns way more costs only a little more. Can any helpful players who aren’t looking to argue in the question section answer the OP?
The problem is, what you have stated isn’t true. As noted , there is about a max 40% difference between the two examples. Not 400%.
If you are going to make statements like that it is best that you back it up with examples and screenshots. Then maybe folks will come and back you up

There’s an entire spreadsheet with the different costs and they aren’t proportional. So rather than being toxic and trying to say my numbers aren’t exact, either explain if there are other reasons (like different maintenance ratios) or if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
Dude, you really a) shouldn’t come after me as an admin (even flagging my own post, nice touch by the way) and player almost since inception and b) if you want to make a case. Bring your case.
The reason why we are pushing back is we know your case isn’t true. There is no way a A321NX would make 12,000 a trip (that’s 77W and A380 territory) so your logic is unfortunately flawed unless you can prove otherwise.
Then if you look at the costs of the aircraft
It’s about 45% increase in costs from a B738M to a A321NX.
That actually makes sense as the 321 is a bigger aircraft and newer thus showing a higher price.
Now if you are talking about GP costs too, newer aircraft are being priced higher you would be correct. Devs are pricing newer options higher for future features. Which will reduce them again.
Hopefully that answers your questions in the way you would like. (PS, don’t report this post, the only person you are reporting it to is me…)

I’m not making a case. That’s your attitude problem where you want to act like a question is an attack you need to prove wrong. And double so if you’re a representative of the game talking to a customer.
The A21NX is 140,000. The 38M is 121,600. You make the difference in cost back in under 2 player contracts then keep the plane much longer. So why are they priced like that? Maintenance advantage? One flies faster and makes more trips? XP/SP affects price? Or some planes just have a better price and others you only get if you’re collecting?
I’m just gonna point out that you came in hostile as well, so, he was simply responding in the same manner.
To be fair, he wasn’t even hostile to begin with, in fact he was quite neutral, he was upholding the truth
@Plane_Enthusiast was not arguing, he was simply pointing out the truth, explaining what you asked. You are the one turning their messages into hostile

Buddy,you’re the only toxic person in this situation.
Basically the point we’re trying to prove is that the A21NX is not 4X more expensive and profitable than the B38M. @Plane_Enthusiast and @carlsberg72 were just trying to explain to you that the difference is not 400%,but 40%.
From what i’ve seen out of your “arguments”,you think your point is the only right one and then you cry when your point is proven wrong.
So how about you stop arguing and look at the exact profits of each aircraft before you come back stating anything at all instead of just wasting your time arguing(not like you’re gonna win with how you act towards pepole).
Sorry if i was too harsh.

I’m going to put it clear for you (and everyone to be exact) the 321NEO is more expensive than the 737Max both in Wollers and Gold planes, all aircraft now remodeled (expect 747-400 and 777-300) are more expensive in terms of Gold planes because they need to make money somehow to pay for Development, staff, services, marketing and outers. If they don’t do that than they might ceased operations of the game (and no one wants it to happen)
To be honest you are pretty harsh to people who are answer you and we want a friendly, nice forum instead of a toxic forum thread like now. Just cool down

I’m going to assume that anyone talking about gold planes is a dev alt account. No one asked about gold planes.
Again, The A21NX is 140,000. The 38M is 121,600. You make the difference in cost back in under 2 player contracts then keep the plane much longer. So why are they priced like that? Maintenance advantage? One flies faster and makes more trips? XP/SP affects price? Or some planes just have a better price and others you only get if you’re collecting?
If you find this question hostile, maybe you shouldn’t be a game developer or be spending time in the new player section.
Watch your mouth, I believe your attempting to bully me and other people as well, we answered you a few times and your just being downright rude to other people.

Why do you keep flagging almost every single reply? People have answered your question, and I’m not sure what else you are expecting. Nobody is trying to be funny with you, but trying to help you the best they can.

Well, my best guess as to why the A21NX is priced higher than the 738M (for example) is because it has a higher seating capacity, as well as longer range (more beneficial?). Hence it would be more expensive to buy but more profitable in the long run.

Gold planes are literally the only way to unlock aircraft.
