Despite the ugly contract from yesterday morning where I lost money (or more correctly - damage), I managed to pull in about $35,000 flying a few more trips, which officially tips me past the point where I was on July 22 when I sold the Norway operation and moved to Mud Lake. Not only do I have more cash, I have a more valuable aircraftā¦so altogether Iām probably 100K better off than I wasā¦but it took a lot of cargo hauling to get back to where I wasā¦!
As well, Overall Reputation is sitting at 32.20, up from 24.2 when I sold the Norway operationā¦so we are getting closer to that 40 goalā¦!
ā¦and for those wonderingā¦Iām going to try to run this company as a single pilot / aircraft operation. Yes, I know I could hire AI pilots and get another plane and make more money fasterā¦but Iām seeing how far/long it will take to build this company up from a Lone Wolf standpointā¦
Itās just meā¦and the dogā¦

Total $428.00 AUD
Luckily paying in Australian dollars hides the true cost! Itās paying for itself already!! 
With AUDā¦you just move the decimal left one space right? Right??

In the AH1 days I could get up to 100% rep within a few days. In AH2 I think it will take a lot longer.

If @Bogusheadbox manages to get the Aardvark program back up and in the National Budget, then yes, pretty much.

Wingroot mounted engines are so under appreciated unfortunatelyā¦
Interesting. I think itās your distance and airport size settings (i.e. lower than mine) thatās giving you the density of activity that Iāve not seen. In my case I get long distance relocation flights and little ability to chain things. More flying required to see if that helps.

I find itās nothing unusual to have relatively few jobs on offer. It can depend on many things, though.
When I started a company a week or so ago, I found I had about 10 outbound jobs and not a single inbound. Iāve had similar issues with AH1, but Duncan (AH dev) wasnāt able to come up with a reason for it.
@Agent_X20 AND @Brix - I havenāt tried it, but if you move the job settings slider in options and then hit the jobs refresh button - does it instantly change the jobs available? Iād try it, but Iām not homeā¦
Iām fairly sure you have to wait for the current jobs to expire or for the next day to roll around to generate new jobs with the revised settings.

Yes, thatās the case. Unless you buy a different aircraft, when it should supply new jobs for that aircraft.

Congrats on the salary bump. At least you are not paying them to fly anymore!

Yayā¦! My best landing yet in the C-185F and Air Hauler. I had tried to get into this little strip at Ousel Falls a few days ago and dinged up my airplane pretty good. The tiny 900 x 60ā strip is in a housing community and is well hemmed in by terrain and trees in all quadrants. This time, I stayed a bit higher, used full flaps, and kept a bit more airspeed in to allow for the instant speed decay during the aggressive flareā¦
Getting out might be interesting with 1,400 lbs. of cargoā¦not sure how Iāll manage that yetā¦
