ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
In Career Mode, it seems like the passive income system is giving a thumbs up to spreading your cash across several budget-friendly aircraft instead of splurging on one pricey plane. Take the Robinson R66 helicopter, for instance—costing about 390,000 credits, it can rake in roughly 100,000 credits in just six hours. On the flip side, a Pilatus PC-12, with a price tag of around 5 million credits, brings in roughly 380,000 credits in that same stretch of time. So, for the cost of one PC-12, you could snag around eleven R66 helicopters, raking in about 1.1 million credits in just six hours—almost triple the earnings of that lone PC-12!
On top of that, keeping those pricey planes in tip-top shape can really take a bite out of their profits! Community chatter backs this up, pointing out that splurging on pricey aircraft (over 2 million credits) doesn’t really boost passive income as you’d hope, and those sky-high maintenance costs can really take a bite out of your profits. Take the Cessna 172, for example—it can pay for itself in just about 24 hours of flying. Meanwhile, the pricier Grand Caravan is on a 70-hour mission to break even. Toss in maintenance woes and the occasional bug-induced crash, and suddenly your passive income dreams are looking more like a grind. Who knew flying high could feel so low? Expensive planes are more like expensive headaches!
With all this in play, it seems like the current setup could use a little tweaking to make sure those pricey planes pay off in the end. After all, who wants to invest in a sky-high ticket without an appropriate reward?
Below is another example how the expensive planes yield to passive income is miscalculated. If you don’t want to give us appropriate money for passive income, at least lower the maintenance costs on expensive planes. Then again, it just makes absolutely no sense to buy expensive planes in Career mode, since they are very costly to maintain and bring disproportionally low income.
