Quote from: vobler;402362I don't even know what a VA (Virtual Airline) is... :-) No I don't mean Vatsim.
Further up Tuna and Sulky discussed and concluded that VATSIM is not needed.

Whoops sorry misread

Hi all,

I suggest we tear down our bases now. To resupply now is not economic. We are not making enough money to pay for supplies.
Every base needs 40kg of supplies at around 10$ per kg. delivered. This means that we need $1200 a day to run it.
We get a ground fee of $33 per passenger flown. So to live on ground fees alone all our passengers must be flown everyday.
That is not possible.

The best bet is to rear down, then we will secure 60% of our building materials and fuel.
They will sit in our groups account and can be used later or sold if we wish.
If we just let the FBO's close, I think we will loose everything

First I will put them up for sale and see how that goes.

sorry mate, ive ha so many issues since moving to steam, I think we said it best on the last fly in, it is fun for short periods of time, but becomes a grind (like elite,) would now be the time to consider selling them so we cut our loses, I say yes. But i think we need to move in a direction wit FS in DMW. That direction is quite possibly Vatsim or some equivalent


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

I traded the FBO's against a Beech Baron. This is now currently for sale for 350000. But if we want the money now we can sell it to the system instantly for 230000. Much more than if we tear down and sell 60% of the remaining building materials. (They would have to be flown to another location too. 37000kg.)

It is located in USA but if anyone would like to ferry it over here to use it,feel free to do it.

I would be happy to move it to Europe, could be quite a flight
