Bank Loans! - MrBuilder - 04-08-2005
I have 3 Airbuses and I wish to purchase more and my reputation is at 82% but I do not have enough $$$$ to buy one, or 2, or 3, or 20. I
hope in the next update/version there is an option to get a bank loan. The higher your reputation, the higher your loan.
Also, it would be nice to have a sandbox mode where you can include all your aircrafts that you have in FS2004 and just takeoff. I do not
want to create another company and buy other aircraft because I have $$$$

I think you are missing the point of FsPassengers: it's a flight sim skills add-on. Not an Airline Tycoon.

Re: Bank Loans! - MrBuilder - 04-08-2005
There is no harm in trying!! Just gave you some more ideas.
Re: Bank Loans! - Ryanamur - 04-08-2005
Yep, but it's been brought up in the past (many times over).

This sandbox mode already exist: Use the Pacifica Airline in the demo or create a company without the "economic mode". You will be able the fly any
plane anytime!
And about the 30% penalty when using FsP you've talk about in another thread: you can disable it by editing more_option.cfg

Thanks Pagir,
I will try it out.

Though I don't think we should have bank loans to necessarily buy new planes, I don't think we should be unable to buy fuel to fly the
planes when we have a negative balance. It doesn't actually charge us for the fuel until after the flight anyway as far as I can tell and if you
didn't screw up, then you will cut into the debt to hopefully recover from it.

Slaghead,
That's unfortunately the downside of economic management. If you don't want this, just set a company up without that feature enabled.

I understand that I could do that but I want the economics... I just would just rather work off my mistakes rather than start over with a new
pilot. I think paying off a $100,000+ debt with nothing but a Cessna is a good enough penalty to discourage getting into debt. That's all...

ER, how have people managed to lose money? I started with just a couple of lights and still in profit.
Re: Bank Loans! - Slaghead - 04-08-2005
It's easy when you think there is an emergency so you call a Pan, Pan and find out it wasn't an emergency but that somehow the
alternator was turned off and you get a $250,000 fine. That's how my last company failed anyway.
Re: Bank Loans! - jboweruk - 04-08-2005
oops
I only ever called one Pan Pan, Got hit with a 75 Grand fine. Luckily I had more than that in the kitty so soon built up again. Just waiting on
a couple of my pilots to fly tonight then will purchase a (brand new?) Cessna 152.
