Selling aircraft

Does anyone have any tips on how to actually get an aircraft sold? Can only other human players buy it? I have 3 planes on the market now for ages on minimum price, but nothing happens. They are in good condition, now funny business, just dont need them.

Somebody would need to desire the aircraft you are selling, and be unable to get it elsewhere with better deal.

732 is not 1 generation, but 2 generations behind of what players desire, and also, 18-21 year of age is another problem.

If you need some money quick, you can just scrap the aircraft and take your losses now.

There is clearly a bug on selling aircraft. I have third plane on my fleet Let 410-E20. I changed those 'bout 10 year olds to new ones while making whole fleet younger. But if I try to sell (Let L-410UVP-E20 99% 10.30 y 23 035 20 460 SpeedAir 3 102 000 USD) that is low price is I can go, but same time (Let L-410UVP-E20 95% 10.03 y 10 790 14 010 Aviation Solutions 1 055 045 USD). So how to sell these planes? Min-max pricing is making this impossible, I know cheaters would use this without limits, but this is clearly a fault.

So, mostly just scrap all if you need to get rid of them.

Unfortunately, that limit was put in place precisely because of cheating that was happening. So, yeah, the AI brokers can sell for less than the minimum price player airlines can. That's just the way it is for now

the used market is broken, aircraft brokering by players is no option anymore. the old system was flawed, but that it wasmt fixed (in more than 6 months i think) is just a shame and one of the reasons i didnt start a new gw anymore.

The new game start is quite bad. Not quite as bad as the game world when on Day 1, only DC-3 and Curtis Wright Commando were available (while useful aircraft was locked in storage) but close.

The new GW has virtually no used, no new aircraft. The only thing that makes the no aircraft situation not quite as bad - there are no slots. So even if we had aircraft, we could not fly....

If I did not take on a valuable airport (HND), I would have already quit that GW...

I'm having a lot of fun in smaller french airports. But in the biggies, it's Sitzkrig time, indeed.

I'm kind of liking the serious slot constraint. It's making me make different choices than I have in different worlds.

On a separate note, it brings back memories of the days of being able to slot lock an airport!

Yep. It's about flying with whatever aircraft you can get your hands on early on, then replacing those with bigger, newer ones without leaking slots. Requires a lot of scheduling prowess!
