what company should i start first?

[ждун]

I have freelanced some cash and want to start my own company now.
I have enough to start with basejumping, cargo, vip
Not sure what to pick first. Suggestions?

[Straight-Razor]

cargo is the best cash generator, I would suggest using your discount for the first company and plane on this.

yea, on the other hand I have seen some youtuber suggesting basejumping, as those missions are quick and there are plenty available.

[Straight-Razor]

welp, you get one chance with your discount, your call

chosen cargo

skydiving mission is horrible on the Cessnas as it's so slow at climbing. +1 for cargo.. fast track your way to medium cargo

that guy on yt who was promoting basejumping over cargo was arguing that skip penalty depends mostly on trip length, which is 0 for basejumping missions, hence you can skip most of it with no panalty, which allows you to do like 1 mission per minute and that he says beats cargo mission by large margin.

but I have chosen cargo already. Perhaps abusing the skip mechanism with basejumping makes you rich quicker, but I want to fly across country, not skipping anything.

There will always be min-maxers. And heaven forbid I should tell them how to play the game. But for me, personally, the whole point of a flight sim is to fly.

How do you get to medium cargo? I have all the required certifications as well as have flown some medium cargo missions under employee but I can't get any medium cargo missions to show up in the missions list.

perhaps you need to buy an appropriate aircraft first?

Possibly but the only choices for me to buy are the Cessna 172, Patey Aviation Draco X and Viking Air De Havilland DHC-2. I would think I should have some more options like the C208.

you need to have a medium cargo plane - Cessna 208 is the cheapest i think (2.1-2.4M). it also depends on the area i think.. fast travel your 'pilot' to different parts of the map to reveal the 'fog of war' on that area.

Not possibly. Absolutely. You need a plane that will hold the cargo, which the little Cessna will not do. The only options are the 208 and PC-12.

In any case 1st company goes by quickly, 2nd for me was VIP then 3rd agriculture which was rather fun.

Don't do SAR. I have a cargo company, doing well and a good cash generator despite a tonne of bugs. SAR is a mess, haven't had a mission for the heli in well over two weeks. Logged in almost every day just to check. Busiest time in the swiss alps usually but apparently nothing...
