Thinking about buying the Cessna 400 Corvalis for my charter company in the career-mode. I already have the Diamond DA62 and the Cessna 172.

The Corvalis 400 should replace my Cessna 172, which was the first plane i could to buy (as used).

The Corvalis 400 TT have good performances, higher speed, higher range, but its cheaper then the Cessna 172.

Thats the reason why im asking;
Where is the minus/negative point of this plane?

Have anybody any experiences with this plane in career-mode? In free flights its running really good on the XBox…

Best advice would be to try it out in Free Flight before buying.
My opinion - it’s a cool plane, I like underwing aspect, and speed brakes (like the Carenado Mooney). Flies nicely for me. And it’s quick.
Biggest downside for me is that the cabin feels cramped - hard to get a decent outside view.

Better to keep the 172: building up your fleet is the way to make money, via passive income. And you’ll have a choice of which to fly yourself.

Is the passive income working properly now?

Seems to be.
I have 9 planes (Zlin Nordern, Cubcrafters Cub, C208, Cabri, and 4 C172s) and flew for a couple of hours yesterday. Passive income this morning was about 335k with 2k insurance (I only ever have basic insurance since its workings are so opaque).
So that means a solid 7 hours day of flying should be worth about a million a day gross. Maintenance and washing the darnm things will eat into that of course.
