Very easy to Earn money

[azb84]

Hello, do you agree - it’s very easy to earn Money - with 8 small Stands and ga 3k/hour. This is to easy in my Opinion...

[Viss Valdyr]

Did you start with very hard/insane difficulty?

[azb84]

Yes, i started with very hard, 500k. It’s still to easy to satisfy the Airlines. The landing and parking fees are very high, but the ga is still Running very well. I know this is a Simulation Game, but it’s a Management Game as well.

then start with just 250k. And try again :)

:). But this is Not the Challenge. It only Takes a longer Time to Build the Airport. I only Need 4/5 small Stands to make a Profit - you know? The Break Even is to small and the Balance between income and costs is still To big. Do you know what i mean?

well, "it only takes longer" is exactly what your change implies as well. You want less money per stand, so "it only takes longer".

there is no challenge for me :(.
Do the passenger rate my Airport? Or are they still happy all the Time? and does the Rating from the Airlines depends on the Rating of the passengers? (Higher satisfaction = better contracts/Airlines)?
Do you know what i mean?

To give myself a real challenge, I start a game and save it. Manually edit the save file to reduce the amount of money to $50k. Then, restart the game. This requires massive loans and smart playing to get anywhere.

and yet he will say " it will just take longer". It will circle all around once again.

;). You are right. Of Course Money is Important - but what about the Relation between passenger satisfaction and Airline Rating - the more popular your Airport = better contracts ...

You can make your game harder by lowering the fees and that way getting better ratings. Which don't change the outcome of contracts, true, but it makes your game harder.

I mean the game is in early access so there is a good chance those could become things later on down the line.

yes game need to be balanced.
Especially the money you get from shops.

I think when starting on the most difficult setting that its hard to get started ( i like it ) but
after you get your first medium plane stand and a small airport with pax comming though, then the game become very easy.
And if you build a few shops then you get a huge income boost.

Just saying it would be nice with a better balance where game is example difficult all way though the playthough and not just in the start. ;-)

Example random events such as "bomb" threat = bad reputation due to your security staff alowing a bomb omboard a plane.

Food poisoning and negative news about the sick passengers.

Snow storm so no planes can land, costing the airport money.

ect ect.
Well some events that happen and make the game less predictable ;-)
