The future rule imposing fixed monthly maintenance costs on airports will mean that small airports purchased that generate zero or almost zero traffic will be a waste of money. An airport with these characteristics will not be sellable because no one would buy an airport that only generates debt. Furthermore, it discourages users from purchasing new airports. The same goes for aircraft. No user would be interested in increasing their fleet. Above all, all aircraft from category 1 to category 4 will be useless.

Who knows, but maybe user should start thinking or using half, or just a third of their time, just for flying, and the other half about making profit.. weren’t you used to fly just for the pleasure of sightseeing an airport located in a beautiful valley between canyons, or on top of a mountain, or in a small island with beautiful shores? Has everyone forgotten how weird and challenging is flying a STOL airplane? How is exciting would be demonstrating that we are capable of making an approach and landing in an airfield that has only a VOR.. and one more thing.. I know it is challenging and worth flying a liner. With all those Preflight procedures, and complicated checklist steps.. that is also professional, but I wonder what’s the point of flying such a beautiful big planes and then departing from the runway, and also stop the flight just right after touching down? Only for income and gaining as much as you can? ( generally speaking)

SimFly must have noticed, and we have too, that traffic has changed drastically at Category 4 airports with a 60% share, and at small airports with virtually no activity. The likely or future implementation of a maintenance fee will force their owners to carry out at least one landing or takeoff at their airports. I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as the maintenance fee is low. We'll see. Let's remember that the same thing happened when passenger fees were implemented for license or aircraft transfers; it ended up costing pennies for short distances. Best regards.
It's also important to consider that many airports have been abandoned by their owners, maintained with a zero percent share, making them impossible to visit except out of affection. This would force these irresponsible owners to take action...raise the share to a minimum of 20% to cover future maintenance fees. If they fail to pay, I suggest SimFly take their airfields back and return them to the SimFly database to be marketed again. That's my opinion...
I love flight simulators. I don’t have much time for work. I can do 2-3 flights a week, and sometimes not even one. To keep SimFly running for many years, passengers need to be burned. With the passengers I earn, I can burn them by upgrading the planes and airports. But as a flight simulator enthusiast, I’d like to gradually buy as many plane models as possible, as well as the airports that I’m fond of in real life. But since I can only fly a few times a week, and no one takes off or lands at airports below category 4, these airports will only generate losses. The result will be that users will stop buying resources and find the marketplace full of passengers for sale.

Milestone and new touch and win missions on cat1 to cat3 airports, mainly..let’s start with a 3:1 proportion, in 5 milestone missions, 3 would be at cat1 and 2, and 3.. the other 2 left, on cat4 and 5..
Same logic with touch and win..
