Slot money back

Hello,

I was thinking that when you buy a slot, and then give it back (eg. cancel route) you should get some money back as you bought the slot. In AWS, you don't.

Thank-you :)

The slots cost like 30,000 for the high-end airports.. Very cheap compared to the aircraft.

Shortage of cash?   ;D

No cash shortage, just, want to make the game more realistic. I have billions anyway!

Hmm, in an advanced scenario one could think about an auctioning system for slots at airwaysim engine 1.3 or so. But in fact I do not yet get your point why getting back some 45,000 USD could matter. If more realism were the goal of your expressed idea, than this would only make sense, if we had to lease the slots at a certain regular cost and could sell them later at an auctioned price. But if ou want to get 45,000 then just cut your CEO salary.

It's not for the money, just to make things more realistic.

Anyway, never mind

I think then the focus should be on a slot auctioning system. Current slot prices are enormously cheap compared to real life and hence do not really provide an impact on success.
