Hey i have a question upon purchasing a Plane. When i want to fly it myself, wich mission will it be? Do i have to open it for rent and then rent it by myself or how does this work then? Unrestricted Flight is not possible with Junior License and the standard License are out of stock.
If i remember well jnior license only can rent somebody’s else aircraft. You can wait for standard license to be available or soon the market place and buy a license offered at a higher level perhaps.
Thanks for you Answer. In my opinion that’s a bit ill-conceived, but I’ll just keep farming PAX and wait and see.
Well if you were ready to buy a normal license, just wait for the market to open. It will be more convenient.
Other the renting, you can use Test Pilot mission. you still earn PAX even if with a lower percentage. renting gives you the advantage of having a percentage shared by the owner.
I already tried that but i dont get anything when my 1,5 Hours a full and thats made whit less then 1 flight ![]()
Just wanted to know if it makes sense to buy a plane on this platform withouth a Standart Licence with a Junior Licence but i notice it doesnt wich is weird and doesnt make sence to me at all. But okay then i will go ahead and do rentals.
My suggestion (based on analysis after thousands of hours) - dont buy planes.
They are not creating token income even to cover their upgrades - and after upgrade its not any better.
Basically you are forced to purchase subscription to be able to rent a plane - without it your “option” to share part of plane income is 0% - noone will rent them.
From all assets planes are completely not worth to buy. And with every ninja update introduced by SF it becomes more cumbersome and less and less profitable.
Hope this helps
Oh wow thanks for the insight. I didnt know that you cant rent a plane with profit share withouth Subsription. Thats stupid
Okay then i will see how it will develop in future and collect some more pax.
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that even without an active Premium Member, you can still list your aircraft for rental. However, in this case, you won’t be able to offer a share of your PAX Tokens earnings to the pilots who use your aircraft. This may make the aircraft less attractive for rental, but it’s not impossible—especially if you apply alternative strategies.
That said, I noticed you currently have an active Premium Membership. This allows you to offer up to 60% of your PAX Tokens profits to pilots flying your aircraft. Of course, the percentage is entirely up to you—there’s no obligation to offer it.
Hope this info is helpful! ![]()
As an owner of a few planes, I agree with shill, for the most part. The return on planes is not great, even with people renting them out. At your stage, I’m guessing you’re thinking about a cat 1 or cat 2 plane. Those make very little money, and are not likely to be rented, as everyone and their mother owns one. I don’t think my c172 has been rented once, and my 208 I think has only been rented once. That’s with 60% share. not worth it if you are trying to get return through renting. Save up for an airport. Cat3 or higher. The cat 1s and 2s get very little action due to their lower payout. As more people get cat 4s and 5s, I suspect the 3s will die off too. Luckily, with their prices, we have time before theres a bunch of cat 5s getting bought. If you still want to buy a plane over an airport, wait until there’s a sale, or they release a new plane. Think carefully about the plane you buy if renting is your goal. If you buy something random that no one owns or has interest in, that was not stock with a simulator, there’s not a lot of people likely to fly it.
I agree that airplanes are not very profitable, which is why, personally—if my experience is of any help—I’ve only bought the aircraft I truly want to fly, my favorite module in the simulator. I might buy another one if there’s another plane I really feel like flying in depth.
The rest you can fly in unrestricted mode or by looking for rentals that offer a percentage of the profits to the pilot, and there won’t be much difference in what you can earn with them.
For now, as long as the number of users doesn’t increase significantly, no asset is truly profitable—in the sense that you’re unlikely to recover the money you invested in a reasonable timeframe.
So, buy the one you feel like flying, and don’t go crazy thinking about buying many to make a business out of it.
