Buying an aircraft - SilverGoose - 14-04-2016
I got a plane that every time I try to buy it, the best option to buy has over 5000 hrs of flying, does anyone know what is it that determines the hours use or is it just random? would this effect my game play, I try logging off and on many times to the same result, I never get an option for a new plane.

the economy changes after every flight for that company meaning that you would have to fly an aircraft for the company before you get new offers. the higher hours the engine has the more chane it will have to fail as far as i know, even if the owner was good with maintaining for both high and low hours the high owers one would fail first

I've done at least two flights, during this period and to the same results.

it also depends on the type of aircraft. be sure to fully read the descriptions. some airplanes stopped production many many years ago and as such, you cant buy them brand new anymore. Usually when this happens, I tend to go with the lowest time aircraft and spend the money to fix it up. it also depends on how frequently you want to fly it. I am also notorious for buying aircrafts just to bolster my fleet earning power. so it doesn't matter what planes I buy if they are just going to sit in the hangar. the planes that I fly on a regular basis I tend to buy brand new and are modern aircrafts anyway

If that so, that might be the case, it is a C177B, and the question is, if there is a way around that and get a newer model to pop up.

then yes, that's definitely the case. I also have the C-177RG and it's the same thing. paid handsomely for a 5400TT airplane. but she flies perfect and I've never once had an in-flight failure with her.

Thanks for your help I guess I'm not going to worry about it, it's one one my favorite planes anyways
