For anyone using kACARS, we now added the function for you to select your aircraft. This is necessary for realism, because up until now the default passenger load was around 200. This resulted in exaggerated profits for small planes, or losses for a large airliner that could hold up to 500 passengers.
Were starting to make ticket price and fuel price realistic to real world data, so it's essential for you to select your plane from the list or choose one with a similar passenger capacity as the one your flying. (see image below)
This also means that you should try and fly economically, if you fly at 100% throttle you will most likely loose the airline money from using so much fuel.
For an example lets say you fly the B200 on MSF221 which is 38.2nm. With a ticket price of $15, and carrying 13 passengers that's an income of $195. Lets say you use 178 pounds of fuel with a price of $.80 per pound which would total $142.40 in fuel costs. We also have to add in pilot pay and other charges of about $20. So total income would be: $190-$162.4=$27.60 in profits. Now if you flew full throttle, the fuel price would eat up all of that profit.
We are still working on setting fuel/ticket price, so you may see some discrepancies in pricing.
If you want an aircraft added to this list, post the aircraft name below. If you don't see your aircraft in the list, select a similar one that you believe would carry a similar amount of passengers.
