Strategy Example to start in London (Falcon Lines) Free game

[Maddog1944]

I play often with this strategy (free game) for example when i start in London (HUB) In the Beginning i have the 757-300 (753) and the 737-400 (734) i watch for best orders from last Minute and the Terminal (and freight) to make income in the very beginning. After a while i sell the 734 for about 3,5 Million and have enough money to buy a new 2nd hand plane from the museum in good condition. Sometimes i buy a L1011 (it has 30t cargo, and 8000km range) with the 757 and L1011 you have a good duo to make lucrative cargo orders and to get from 1 Million 2 or even 4 Million $ income (minus fuel expenses). After that i rent the route London - Rio de janeiro and fly with the 757-300 and a 767-300 on this route, after a while i can afford to buy a new plane for this route and most of the time a buy a brand new DC-10 or one or two Boeing 767-300ER. After my income growths i rent the route London - JFK and fly with the 757-300 and one or two 767-300ER on this route, then i rent the 2nd most lucrative route in the game London - Tokyo (the most attractive route will be then JFK - Tokyo). After a while you rent attractive routes and normally then you dont need to watch out for cargo orders or orders from last minute desk. I normally use the 767-300ER on the route London-Tokyo, after the rent of JFK-Toyko is possible i have enough money to buy the first brand new 747-400 (or i buy the 747 in good condition in a museum). I would say that because of the low price of the 767-300 i buy it new from the plane broker, BUT when its possible i buy the 777 in good condition from the Museum, because the 777 has a very high income on lucrative routes like London-Tokyo with 1 to 1,4 Million income per flight (!), this justifies some higher maintenance costs in the beginning in comparison to a brand new 777. After playing with this strategy after 3hours of game i have got the following fleet: 2 brand new DC-10 4 x 777 (one brand new, 3 2nd hand in good condition by 100%) 1 x 757-300 (from the very beginning) 3x 767-300ER rented routes London - Rio, London - JFK, London - Tokyo 34 Million $ Cash + stocks from phonenix Travel and sunshinve airways total stocks value 18.000.000 $ (+ my own shares) sometimes i make a "trick", set the dividend yield to 25% wait for high share course, then SELL ALL MY SHARES, the course drops to 0 or 1 $ then i by all my shares and set the dividend yield again to 25%. Sure its a trick, but i play without cheating and have a stable income with my routes within a short time.
