Carribean islands scenario - impossible after update 1.3?

[alexstaev]

Any chance to complete this scenario after 1.3 update? Did somebody accomplished to complete it? I tried many times, different tactics (unlocking USA, Mexico, direct play, selling routes, direct routes, chain routes, unlocking 3-4 island countries at once on early stage,...), failed every time, 2 countries still remain locked no matter what I do, access cost just skyrocketing too fast and no chance to match profits with it (sould have like 20k/minute at end stage). Maybe there is some secret tactics?

On version 1.7.6, I spent a few hours on this, its definitely not great, yes I solved it...

The beginning is very frustrating, you need to perform a specific sequence to even be able to bootstrap yourself, including selling one or two of the routes just to survive an upgrade. Then you get a small window of opportunity where you have enough funds to reroute and reorganise the core. After that you become locked in, and even then its baby it mode.

I spent the absolute minimum on upgrading airports, spent everything on route upgrades and the fact that almost every route I sold, except for the very first two, had zero passengers traveling on them, and all my 3 core airports all had less than 200/500 in the queue and only 3 other airports had only even upgraded to 100 capacity; meaning my transport network was literally delivering every possible passenger; I still wound up with only $10,440 when I needed $19,700 to unlock the penultimate level. I paused at 1 second remaining, I partly liquidated my airline business and to my shock horror the ultimate level required another $23,700. Left with no choice but to continue the liquidation proceedings until I had enough.

I finished liquidation reduced to only the initial starting islands connected.

The entire match was run with timers going off periodically due to fluctuations in traffic and the fact that I run routes near full capacity... I could not be any more efficient and I still had to liquidate to finish.
