Why? 
I just dont know whats going on here. MAD has some aircrafts. I am working for MAD. But I still have to rent them to do a job? And then you guys are leasing aircrafts to MAD. It is better for your fees or just better for the group?
You know, I am just LTRTFM [Lazy To RTFM] 
Basically leasing an aircraft to the company allows anyone in the company to fly it for free. It also allows you to maintain ownership of the aircraft in the event we all get arrested… I mean the company goes under. I didn’t purchase the kodiak straight into MAD because the actual owner of the company, Eightball, has been AFK for several months. So I bought it with company money and then leased it back to the company. Eightball is the only person with ownership rights of the group, didn’t make sense to leave it in company hands if the person with the most ability/authority to make changes is not currently active.

The more aircraft we own/lease the more opportunity there is for profit.

I’m logged in to FSEconomy (website) and see Assignments. I’m looking for the Caravan out of ID88 but I don’t see any assignments for that out of there?
Oh…maybe I found it…search Airports ID88 and then assignments come up.
Can I combine multiple assignments on a single flight? I can’t see the weight of the passengers (1 TMAS Passenger) but I’d assume I could put a bunch of them on the same leg. Hmm…looks like the 208 is not showing available to rent (Rent dry / Rent wet is not available)…
I’m gonna have to do some RTFM-ing…
Oh…shoot…I don’t want to spend that kind of money!

Hmm…I just want to run a short flight since I’m on call…so maybe it is not worth taking a Caravan on a 100 mile flight?
Hey Beach, yes you can! In FSE, a person weighs about 88kg (including luggage). Once you have some assignments loaded, you can head over to the “my flight” page to see how you are doing seat and mass wise. You can also cancel some or all assignments if you are overweight. Doing so is without any consequence.

Hmm…I thought I had it solved, but I’m not seeing anything in-game in my Assignment Info box…
Oh wait…got it. My alias thing wasn’t matching apparently. I have green text that says I’m loaded…

I just got home from a function. Hope you got it straight. @Sine_Nomine Much Appreciated. We’ve grown the company considerably in the last two weeks.

Yes…I’m enroute! Wish I could get the panel lights on a bit brighter in the Caravan. Guess that’s what I get for hopping in after no aircraft checkout! LOL…
I made it…! Even figured out the lights. You just have to scroll wheel forever to get it to light up.
The Carenado Caravan is a blast to fly. I really enjoyed it after the fairly simple Husky.
Will post a trip report to the Short AAR thread here in a moment…!

If we can get an FBO at a place like that, well be set. Everyone one of those jobs is going to pay 200-300 to the FBO for doing nothing.

Short little hop into a mountainside airfield. Once I’ll settle a bit more on a different aircraft and a specific region I’ll get some ortho’s going so I can take nicer screens. Did we ever settle if we go for more aircraft or more bases first? Also nice to see how much money we made lately.

A consensus wasnt made, but I feel like if we bought a Bell 412 people would use it. Granted it would take about 40-50 flights to pay it off.
FBOs are relatively cheap if you build them yourself, about 40k. If you buy one on the market they go anywhere from 35k to 500k+ depending on location and size.
If you guys can start looking for suitable fields that have open lots, we can start expanding the FBO network vastly. At this point in the game (15+ years) the majority of the “good” ones are taken but I think we can still find some. Especially in the more austere locations. I’m up for anything you guys want to do.
We made a considerable amount of money last month, and currently have over 200k in the bank with all the bills paid.

Also want to make sure I’m including the masses, I bought the Kodiak and I think I’m the only one that has flown it! So if Bell 412 is next, I’m all good with it!
