Airline Manager FAQ

Since no one is bothered to actually click on the actual FAQ and not all topics are in it here is my FAQ

Everything is correct at the time of writing.

1.      What is realism mode?

It is a slightly harder mode that limits you in runway length, fuel capacity and other things

2.      Can I get back into realism mode after I left?

As of this post no.

3.      How do I restart the game?

Click on your profile and press the red restart button Note: It’s a good idea to tell your shareholders that you are planning to restart a few days before you do so they don’t hate you.

4.      Used vs factory A/C (aircraft)

Used A/C are cheaper, older and have higher fuel consumption

New A/C are expensive, newer and have lower fuel consumption. Also requires 150 bonus points to buy.

5.      Should I buy an international route license?

8.      What is the Easter egg?

The Easter egg is [redacted]

9.      Why have my passenger numbers dropped?

You become certified after 20 flights and the game becomes more realistic so the numbers dropped to make it harder. Using route demand and A/C config should increase your passenger demand.
