Hello, I have just started a new playthrough in the Extreme difficulty setting which is my favourite way to go in the game. On this difficulty, the economy is very fragile at the start and progress is moderate. However, currently, I’m not receiving the payment per flight.
The only things I’m making a profit on is the runway fee, passenger management and GA parking fees. Which leaves me with roughly a profit of 1500 - 2500$ per day. This makes the first 2 years of gameplay very slow. Of course, it’s time-consuming but doable.
This is may early set up.
This is how it looks like 3 years in game.
