Not sure… in the past the way to go was medium cargo - and than passenger transport but the payments has changed now.
I am making a lot of credits atm doing vip and passenger transport. Occasionally medium carge. Can’t wait for heavy and super heavy transport will arrive
Interesting. I don’t get anywhere near what you are claiming for VIP missions. And the Cargo missions may get up to a million credits for a flight, not for a 3 hour flight for me. My airliners get around what you are reporting.
Credits mentioned are with bad weather bonus, so what you get when finished the mission. When selecting the mission the base amount is lower.
Vision jet is equal to the c-172 so Vip flights with the vision jet are lower than the pc-12, pc-24, king air and cj-4 (longer flights/range). Can advice to get the pc-24, flies better than the pc-12 and cheaper than the cj-4
Think it also matters where you fly… some regions in Europe (GB) for example have much lower payouts
You also want to build a fleet of passive earning planes which fly when you do. To start with get a few C172’s as they are cheaper to maintain. The more expensive your plane the more time it takes to pay it off and the more expensive to maintain.
For 5 hours on a mission this is what my planes earn for Passive Cr - but then you have maintenance costs after 12 to 15 hurs. So think carefully how you achieve the passive credits. Cargo
Saab 340 - 635,300Cr
PC-24 - 516,510Cr
C408 - 511,690
PC-12 - 504,280
C208 - 368,340
Draco - 69,000
C172 - 59,250
VIP
Dont touch CJ4 - toooo expensive and uneconomical (unless they change the earnings for it and lower maintenance fees)
350i - 601,420
PC-24 - 564,880
PC-12 - 552,530
DA62 - 256,390
TBM - 171,850
G58 - 118,470
G2 jet - 114,010
G36 - 97,380
Corvalis C400 - 74,430
C22 - 58,020
C172 - 58,020…Corvalis more expensive to maintain
Passenger airliner
737 flying a mission on its range limits that’s 8hrs long can earn up to 20millon, hit X 2 simrate during cruise
737, crewed on passive will earn you approx 800k per hour, so for the above mentioned 8hr flight that’s another 6million
Maintenance fees are higher but can be tamed with frequent checkups which are only 600k, which is small change with these numbers you can earn in the 737.
If I started flying the 172 and earning pennies again, I’d have to uncrew the 737s because the costs outweigh what you earn in the Cessna
Where do you find VIP missions? If I filter for Charter Service - VIP in freelance, I don’t see a single mission in Europe or anywhere else for that matter. I have only explored a few locations outside of EU.
Hi, do you own a VIP charter company? In order to fly this type of mission you will need to buy one and then buy the planes after you have done the certifications for the respective licences and specialisations. I don’t know if you have got these or not but it is very possible to work your way towards it. You won’t see VIP missions until you own the company and a plane relevant to the mission. Then they are all over the world.
