Crewed Planes do not generate passive income in ANY company, unless you actively fly one of the companies planes.
Isn’t passive income supposed to be, you know, passive? Why on earth am I supposed to be flying? I’ve put in over 250 hours into the game, so I feel like I’ve earned the right to get some passive income, whether I’m flying or not. I’ve made money to start businesses and even to buy planes for them, so why do I still have to keep grinding? Could it be made really passive, please? You really shouldn’t have to fly if you don’t want to. Planes have crews, they’re maintained, and they’re all set to go. I’d get the flying thing if there was actually something worth flying for. The game feels a bit lacking after the medium missions; there’s really not much to do since the next levels aren’t available. It seems like it was released before it was fully finished.
Seems like ive gotten the same issue out of nowhere all was working well until the 26th, then after that no more passive income, and ive been in the sim each day
I have never received passive income on crewed planes. I disabled that at some point, as I still had to pay daily for the insurance, why I bought the cheapest insurance, otherwise it would not be viable to use this.
If planes in general would have wear and tear and you would own them, I would move away from career, but that is THE reason I like career. I have to maintain my planes! And if I don’t I see/feel the consequences.
Are you flying your company jobs aswell on the days you werent getting any passive income, not sure if it server related due to the current issue, but i didnt get any yesterday for employee mode but the day before I did for freelance
You should be able to get passive income either you fly or not. I sat idle on the runway all night, but I got about 5x times less comparing to the days that I fly freelance. The most important thing is - log out before 24:00 UTC and then log back in AFTER 24:00 UTC. I started doing that and I get passive income on daily basis now. I think they have nerfed it with a ninja update though. I dunno…
I had my first passive income yesterday, a nice 300,000 credits. However, I realized that all the planes the crew flew had significant damage to a wide range of parts. Notoriously, all planes flewn by the crew had all electrics vastly damaged, most items in the Ground category (such as radios, NAVs, et cetera) and even most unlikely items such as several of the lights and lamps completely broken.
I ended up paying more for the repairs then the passive income generated.
Not sure if this is a bug or poor balancing on how the crew flying works, but I’m not letting any of those AI ■■■■■■ get into my planes anytime soon anymore.
I also think that if you fly an airplane in freelance it generates less income. To be tested, but my 737 which I flown generated less than 2/3 of what my medevac pc-24 which I didn’t use at all…
The crew is not actually damaging or simulating random damage on the aircraft. The wear damage is accumulated with the time flown, so if you fly 1 hour, that is 1% damage on normal parts. Certain faster wearing parts, such as alternator, landing gear, hydraulics etc (dependent on aircraft as well) will accumulate faster than this 1%, so while a reservoir accumulates 1% in 1 hour, an alternator might accumulate 3% in 1 hour.
Another things is that since you had it crew on, even if you didn’t receive passive income, the aircraft started to accumulate wear with the calculation as I described, so each of your flight hour since you put crew on resulted in wear. The passive income is credited/calculated at UTC midnight along with insurance, but if you fly at that time it will roll over to the next day and you will not receive any income that day (i guess no insurance bill as well). The system will try to credit you next time, as I heard 2 days in total, so if you miss one the next day you will get the previous and the current day. However if you miss another one, now the 2 day before is deleted and you lost that passive income. The wear however still accumulated on your aircraft, even if you lose the passive income that way. It is quite a horrible design and a buggy one for that.
I´m currently roughly at 100 - 200k per hour. I own 2 - 3 planes in each of my companies (Flightseeing, VIP, Medium Cargo) and I think that is pretty decent now. There are better days and worse, but I didn´t witness any “zero runs” in the past 2 weeks, I´m flying a bit each day.
I guess the Idea is building up a decent fleet that will at least cover the “running” costs and give you some extra, not making you passively rich within a few days.
I can only imagine the money floating in once I have a couple airliners running. (when that´s actually a viable option)
Maybe it could use some balancing across the board (as do many things in career mode) but it´s not that bad as I initially thought.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

I have two companies. 3 planes total. all set to crew=on.
In my companies > account history > passive incomes tab it shows no income, 0 total flights, 10min total flighthours.
I am on Xbox Series X

Does it mean it doesn’t generate income when I am offline / away from computer? I thought others were reporting having income from being offline. Currently I get nothing.

• open career mode, even since the server reset - I have had no passive income across my fleet of 3 planes despite the mission bing their. I have not flown at all since Christmas as I am slightly disappointed with the sim right now. Every day I log in to check and no passive income.
