Lessons Learned- A Guide To Newcomers
Maarten Otto:
Every time you sign up again you learn new tactics and understand the game a bit better. In time you even might want to try out complete other forms of operations or set other goals for yourself.

Very nice thread with good info. I did awesome in the demo version plenty of $ coming in, and plenty of planes quickly. But not in my current real game. Granted I started very late in this game. Im trying to be "patient" ha im not in the red. Just use my current game as practice I suppose. I can't wait to start out fresh and new with everyone else once a new game world starts.
I would just like to second this. This thread has been an awesome source of info and I have found myself in the same boat (plane :D) in doing well in the demo and coming in late into the game in beginners world 7. Patience is the key, but I would also like to add that if there is a competitor flying a route taking all the pax, dont be afraid to fly in and give it a go. Of course you will have to lower your prices a bit and spend a bit on marketing, but it appears pax in the sim like in the real world, like competition. That said, I dont think I would try it with over three competitors on the same route. For me at the moment, there is only me plus a big competitor, but I am turning a profit. So dont be afraid to give a go, but also find other routes that will help support your price war. Just my little bit to add. :)

Exactly, MT2 is where I am now, and every other game I have played I flew either Airbuses or Boeing's. So in ATB I'm trying something a little different by flying a regional Q300 and Q400 operation out of a regional airport in China. May I say that it is quite a different sphere of operations! :D

One thing I must say for those just starting out is to look carefully at the turnaround times for large aircraft. Sometimes they can go up to 2-3 hours on the larger, older designs if you try to reduce delay chance to 1% so remember to do your aircraft comparing before you just lease. That tool is there for a reason and it is one I use on an almost daily basis

Yup, there is more to speed than mach or knots....
