Title: Can't do B Check
Post by: Filippo on March 05, 2011, 04:51:24 PM
I've got an aircraft that's in pretty low condition so I wanted to do a B check on it, but it says: "You cannot perform this maintenance check as it has been made already recently"

In effect, The aircraft stats say that a B check has been done 4 game days ago, but i thought that if the condition is pretty low and since it's my aircraft shouldn't I be able to check it when I want?

Is it a bug, or do I have to wait a certain number of days (eg 7 or something) before I can do another one?

Thank-you
Filippo

Well the b check will not do anything to your a/c's condition only c and d checks will.

Yes, you cannot repeat the B checks "unnecessarily"; to protect your money ..etc.

If you wish to repair it use the extra maintenance function.

are you sure of that?  Plane's conditions go up and down all the time.  C and D checks are not the only ones that improve a plane's condition.

Hmm have read it somewhere, but well more than a year ago i think. So things can have changed or the person didn't know what he talked about heh

Yep.  I regularly buy planes on the used market that are 60% condition, B-check them, put them into service with good condition.

In this case, OP, you want to do "Repair Aircraft."  From there, you can just specify what condition you want your A/C to be in and it will tell you how many days / dollars it will cost to get it there.
