I noticed the price change too. The 44 million one has gone. Fixing it though was almost as expensive as getting a new one. I have read that people have been having to grind missions to earn the repair costs - it is broken anyway, so best to wait for the updates - save your money as repairing the flight services costs a quarter of the price of a new one - it’s $$$$$$$$$$$ to repair but does earn good mission Cr.

Why is it sooo expensive?
We need something in between like the Citation Longitude or the A320, or some heavy cargo missions.
We can’t keep grinding medium cargo for 1mio per mission all the way to 90mio cr, that’s approx 60-100 missions in medium cargo are they serious?
Also note the 787 is there in the brand new list but locked, it’s only something like 20mio. I don’t understand any of this

i grinded medium cargo for days to get 45 mio to buy a used 737…

this is a frustrating change. grinding for days and days and i just got enough to get a 737 only for it to be gone and the next one being DOUBLE the price. i can’t possibly imagine what kind of logic was behind this decision.

i play the game since december, a used 737 was always 45-75 million credits, a new one 99 million

Now the only ones available are 97mio used and 99mio brand new.
The 44mio one is gone

Today only used one is 97 mil with a blank space underneath it. Wow. Nice. Don’t know why this bug report is hidden unless it’s intentional.

Today the only used 737 is 87 million. I’m uninstalling until they make the game not a grind on top of a grind.

I’m sure this will be fixed when the markeplace goes live. Then you will be able to spend real money to get fake money to get ahead faster.

Please feel free to tag your post with either msfs-2020 or msfs-2024 if you would like to discuss a specific sim.

In the career mode, the used 737 MAX cost 44 million, now it is 76.5 million.
Are the people at Asobo trying to make the game unachievable. It took me a month to save up 50 mil to buy the first 737 max. I spend 12 mil yesterday on insurance and repair when twice I got that :you failed to leave gate…" error.

also all the high priced 8 million missions seem be gone withe 737. I can’t even find a 2 mil mission in the USA… Plus transfer costs are way too high. Not my fault that a good mission is 1000 miles away.

The price of used aircraft in career mode has always varied shrug

Kinda like the differences between a 1971 monte carlo and a 1987 monte carlo. Just like real life. Its probably a new plane with less wrong with it

Just checked a few random airports in the US, most of them have well-paid missions:


In general, almost every US airport missions list looks like this:

What’s the point of buying this 737 max now. What will you do with all the credits you earn anyway. Its bugged, the ATC is bugged, it is far too expensive to buy and maintain. Fly it for free in Free Flight and wait for Marketplace to arrive where you will have to by it with real $$/££ and then with game credits also = double spend. This is what I understand from entries I have read.

The price of the 737 is ludicrous when the Saab is 12mio and the 787 is 18mio but locked
What is going on Asobo, why are you being so coy on this subject and the crash at the gates subject. It seems Asobo are hiking up the price to buy themselves time to fix the career mode breaking crash at the gates bug. If we had heavy cargo and super heavy cert I’m sure the same bug would be there. It seems any interaction with gates, jetways and pax in career mode is broken and has been since November. So they don’t have a fix yet and are struggling so in order to avoid mass backlash they remove planes we once had an opportunity to buy, lock mission types, lock planes and certifications.

The only used 737 is 97mil today, new is 99mil, what a deal.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Did you buy and resell the used plane. The same thing happened to me. I fixed the plane, increased its value and sold it. I think they do not add additional used planes. For example one of my companies I purchased all of the used 172 and now I have no more 172 in the used plane market to add to the company .

Did not buy a previous 737, I got enough Cr a couple days after the price increase. It’s 87mil today.
