V3 Game Info


Airline Headquarters Airline headquarters is the first slot that you picked when you created your airline. The airline headquarters acts exactly like a hub with all its bonuses. It is not possible to change the airline headquarters during the game unless you declare bankruptcy.



Team Color

When creating your airline the system randomly assigns a team color to your airline out of 6 possible colors: Blue, Green, Orange, Red, White and Yellow. The team color has several purposes in the game:

  • When selling an aircraft you can limit the sale to airlines with the same team color as yours.
  • When leasing an aircraft to another airline you can limit the lease only to airlines with the same team color as yours.
  • Codesharing with an airline that has the same team color as yours will increase the revenue from the codeshare by 1%.
  • Alliances can choose to accept members from a specific team color only.
  • Flying to an airport where your team color is ranked (the ranking is by total rating flown to this airport from each color) last will add 10% to your rating when you land your aircraft.

You can change your team color 3 times during the game. Each time the cost of the change is different: First Time - $15,000,000 Second Time - $35,000,000 Third Time - $75,000,000. You can not change your team color in the first 30 days after you create your airline There are two option to pay for the change:

Pay Full Amount When you change the team color you just pay the full amount out of your account for the change. If you dont have enough money the system will not let you do it this way.

Pay With Loan This option will add the amount that you have to pay for the change to your airline loans, this means that the loan will have the regular interest on it and in the end you will pay more than the original amount. If you have an open loan on a color change the system will not let you change the color until you pay the loan in full.



Aircraft

There are 105 different aircraft in the game divided in to 4 categories:

  • Regional Aircraft (34 Aircraft) 300 KM - 5,000 KM (0 MILES - 3105 MILES)
  • Medium Range Aircraft (23 Aircraft) 5,001 KM - 9,000 KM (3106 MILES - 5590 MILES)
  • Long Range Aircraft (28 Aircraft) Above 9,000 KM (Above 5590 MILES)
  • Cargo Aircraft (20 Aircraft) Only Cargo Onboard

There is a limit of 6 aircraft that you can purchase and/or lease from each category which brings it to a total of 24 aircraft your airline can have. There are 2 improvements in the game that increase the limit of the total amount of aircraft you can have. Each improvement increases the limit by 1 aircraft in each category. Each aircraft in the game has different specification: number of seats on board the aircraft, maximum range the aircraft can fly, minimum range the aircraft can fly, cruising speed, cargo capacity, fuel usage and of course the cost of the aircraft.

Each time you fly one of your aircraft, the maximum distance the aircraft can fly and the maximum aircraft speed decreases. This is the calcuation for the maximum flight distance and speed:

  • Maximum Distance - ORIGINAL MAXIMUM FLIGHT DISTANCE - (KM THE AIRCRAFT FLEW / 5000)
  • Maximum Speed - ORIGINAL AIRCRAFT SPEED - (KM THE AIRCRAFT FLEW / 50000)




Purchase Aircraft

There are several options to purchase an aircraft in the game:

  • Purchase New Aircraft
    When purchasing a new aircraft you will see the cost of the aircraft and the cost with alliance discount. In order to receive the alliance discount you need to be in an alliance that has the "New Aircraft Purchase Discount" improvement. Without this improvement even if you are in an alliance you will not get the discount.
    The game allows you to decide where you want to place your aircraft after purchasing it. You can place the aircraft only in slots/hubs that your airline purchased.
  • Purchase Used Aircraft From Another Airline
    When purchasing a used aircraft from another airline you will see all the information about the aircraft like: type of aircraft, which airline is selling it, the location of the aircraft, how many KM the aircraft logged, the condition of the aircraft and of course the price of the aircraft.
    The selling airline has the option to restrict the purchase to airlines with the same color as the selling airline, in that case if you are not the same color you will not be able to purchase the aircraft.
    You don't have the option to choose where the aircraft will be located after purchasing it. The aircraft location will be the same location you saw in the selling information.
  • Purchase Used Aircraft From Broker
    When purchasing a used aircraft from broker you will see all the information about the aircraft like: type of aircraft, the location of the aircraft, how many KM the aircraft logged, the condition of the aircraft and of course the price of the aircraft.
    The broker does not limit the sale to any specific color, so you can purchase any aircraft from the broker if you have enough money to do so.
    You don't have the option to choose where the aircraft will be located after purchasing it. The aircraft location will be the same location you saw in the selling information.
  • Purchase Used Aircraft From Auction
    When purchasing a used aircraft from auction you will see all the information about the aircraft like: which airline auctions this aircraft, type of aircraft, the location of the aircraft, how many KM the aircraft logged, the condition of the aircraft, the current price of the aircraft, what is the next bid and when the bid will be closed.
    The auctioning airline has the option to restrict the bids to airlines with the same color as the auctioning airline, in that case if you are not the same color you will not be able to bid on the aircraft.
    The auction is open only for 24 hours. If you place a bid in the last minute of the auction, another 5 minutes will be added to the auction.
    If you win the auction you will have to wait until the system completes the transaction between you and the selling airline. This happens every 30 minutes starting from 00:00 (12:00 am).
    You don't have the option to choose where the aircraft will be located after purchasing it. The aircraft location will be the same location you saw in the auctioning information.




Sell Aircraft

There are several options to sell an aircraft in the game:

  • Sell Aircraft To Another Airline
    When selling an aircraft to another airline you dont actually decide which airline you sell it to, you place the aircraft on the market and wait until another airline purchase the aircraft from you. You need to decide on the selling price between a maximum and a minimum numbers that the system shows you:
    • Maximum Price - *AIRCRAFT VALUE - (TOTAL KM LOGGED * 1.5) - **AIRCRAFT CONDITION CALCULATION
      *10% less from the original price
      **Current condition * 10,000
    • Minimum Price - 15% less than the maximum price.


When you sell an aircraft to another airline you have the option to restrict the sale to airlines with the same color as your airline.
Selling an aircraft to another airline is possible only after logging at least 50,000 KM with the aircraft.

  • Sell Aircraft To Broker
    When selling an aircraft to broker, the aircraft will be place on the market just like when you sell it to another airline just without the seller name.
    The selling cost is calculated like this:
    • Selling Price - (*AIRCRAFT VALUE - (TOTAL KM LOGGED * 1.5) - **AIRCRAFT CONDITION CALCULATION) -> 20% less than this number
      *10% less from the original price
      **Current condition * 10,000


You can not restrict the broker sell to a specific team color.
The broker has a limit of having not more than 3 of the same aircraft at the same time.
Selling an aircraft to the broker is possible only after logging at least 100,000 KM with the aircraft.

  • Sell Aircraft By Auction
    When selling an aircraft by auction, the aircraft will be place on the market for other airlines to bid on this aircraft.
    The starting price of the auction is calculated like this:
    • Starting Price - (*AIRCRAFT VALUE - (TOTAL KM LOGGED * 1.5) - **AIRCRAFT CONDITION CALCULATION) -> 55% of this is the starting price
      *10% less from the original price
      **Current condition * 10,000

When you auction an aircraft you have the option to restrict the bidding to airlines with the same color as your airline.Auction stays open for 24 hours. If you place a bid in the last minute of the auction, another 5 minutes will be added to the auction.Each bid adds 5% to the current auction price.After the auction is over you need to wait until the system will make the transaction of the aircraft and money between you and the winning airline. This happens every 30 minutes starting from 00:00 (12:00 am). If no one bid on the aircraft at the end of the auction time, the aircraft will be given back to your fleet.Auctioning an aircraft is possible only after logging at least 50,000 KM with the aircraft.

  • Lease New Aircraft
    When leasing a new aircraft you will see the daily cost that you will have to pay and the rating needed to lease the aircraft. Those are the calculations for daily cost and rating needed:
    • Regional Aircraft
      Daily Cost - ORIGINAL AIRCRAFT COST * 0.004
      Rating Needed - ORIGINAL AIRCRAFT COST * 0.0000005

Alliance

Alliances are created by the airlines in the game and are managed by the creating airline and the alliance Vice General Manager (an airline that the alliance general manager places in this position). Creating an alliance has few restrictions:

  • Your airline must be at least 7 days old to create an alliance.
  • Your airline must have at least 4 rating points to create an alliance.
  • It cost $3,500,000 to create a new alliance.

Alliances are just like an airline, it has a headquarters that the alliance GM picks when creating the alliance and it becomes the first slot of the alliance. After creating an alliance you have an option to choose an alliance team color. You dont have to choose an alliance team color but once you do, you wont be able to change it anymore. Each alliance has a *Collect % and **Fuel Help % that is set by the alliance GM/VGM. Those numbers can be between 1-10% or 1-20% if the airline you change it has the same team color as the alliance itself. The % can be set globally for all airlines or changed individually for each airline.

  • Collect % - This is the % that will be taken from the route earnings of the airlines in the alliance and added to the alliance account.**Fuel Help % - This is the % that the alliance will help their members with fuel at the end of each route.

There are two types of alliances in the game:

  • Open Alliance
    Open alliance means that every airline that want to join the alliance can do so without any approval from the alliance GM/VGM.
    The alliance GM can restrict the open alliance to: accept members only from a specific team color, accept members only from the same continent as the alliance headquarters, or both the team color and continent restrictions.
  • Closed Alliance
    Closed alliance means that every airline that want to join the alliance has to be approved by the alliance GM/VGM.

After joining an alliance you will have to be a member for at least 7 days before you can leave the alliance.



Airline Slots

Slots are basically landing rights that you purchase in each city you want to fly to. There is a limit of purchasing 8 slots on each continent which brings it to a total of 48 slots you can purchase around the world. These are the calculations for purchasing and selling slots:

  • Purchasing Slot - (NUMBER OF SLOTS THE AIRLINE HAS * 60,000) + 200,000
    First slot (the one you receive for free when create your airline) cost $200,000 and after that each slot cost $60,000 more than the previous one. Last slot will cost $3,020,000.
  • Selling Slot - ((NUMBER OF SLOTS THE AIRLINE HAS - 1) * 30,000) + 200,000
    Selling a slot pays you $30,000 less than the purchase price. So if you purchased the 3rd slot for $380,000 you will sell it for $290,000.

You can not sell your airline headquarters slot.



Alliance Slots

Just like the airline slots, the alliance slots are landing rights that the alliance can purchase in each city the GM/VGM decide they want to fly to. There is a limit of purchasing 8 slots on each continent which brings it to a total of 48 slots the alliance can purchase around the world. These are the calculations for purchasing and selling slots:

  • Purchasing Slot - (NUMBER OF SLOTS THE ALLIANCE HAS * 240,000) + 400,000
    First slot (the one the alliance receive for free when creating an alliance) cost $400,000 and after that each slot cost $240,000 more than the previous one. Last slot will cost $11,680,000.
  • Selling Slot - ((NUMBER OF SLOTS THE ALLIANCE HAS - 1) * 120,000) + 400,000
    Selling a slot pays you $120,000 less than the purchase price. So if you purchase the 3rd slot for $880,000 you will see it for $640,000.

The alliance can not sell the alliance headquarters slot. You get 15% discount on repairs in the alliance headquarters.



Hubs

Hubs are just like slots, they are landing rights where ever you purchase one. Each airline is restricted to purchase only 3 hubs, and only 1 hub per continent. Your airline headquarters is counted as a hub aswell. Those are the calculation for purchasing and selling hubs:

  • Purchasing Hubs - NUMBER OF HUBS THE AIRLINE HAS * $2,000,000 (First hubs cost $2,000,000)
  • Selling Hubs - $1,000,000
    The selling price is always $1,000,000 no matter how much you paid for the hub.

Hubs are not counted as slots when you purchase slots, so basically you can have 48 slots + 3 hubs for a total of 51 airports you can fly to. Selling hubs is only possible 30 days after purchasing them. You get 25% discount on repairs in a hub, including your airline headquarters. Flying to a hub/airline headquarters will give a bonus to the minimum passengers and cargo on board your aircraft. The bonus depends on the range the aircraft can fly:

  • Aircraft that can fly less than 4900KM - Get a bonus of 5% to the minimum passengers and cargo load on board.
  • Aircraft that can fly more than 4900KM and less than 9000KM - Get a bonus of 7% to the minimum passengers and cargo load on board.
  • Aircraft that can fly more than 9000KM - Get a bonus of 9% to the minimum passengers and cargo load on board.

Airline Shares

Each airline starts with 1,000,000 shares and is able to sell only 49% (490,000) of the total amount. This is how the game calculates the share price of each airline:

  • Share Price: (AIRLINE FUNDS + MONEY IN BANK + *TOTAL AIRCRAFT VALUE + 90% OF SLOTS VALUE + 90% OF HUBS VALUE + 95% OF THE IMPROVEMENTS VALUE - (TOTAL LOAN AMOUNT * 2)) / 10000000
    *Total Aircraft Value - **AIRCRAFT VALUE - (TOTAL KM LOGGED * 1.5) - ***AIRCRAFT CONDITION CALCULATION
    **10% less from the original price
    ***Current condition * 10,000

When an airline is create the initial share value of the airline is $5.02. In order to purchase shares your airline and the airline you purchase shares from must be at least 7 days old and have a rating of at least 3. You can not purchase more then 20,000 shares each time. You can purchase shares only once a day. Airlines have the option to become private and not sell their shares to other airlines.

On the top section of the game you can see a scroll bar with weather warnings. This bar shows all the cities in the game that will have in-game delays due to bad weather. In your "Edit Airline Profile" page you have the option show all weather warnings around the world, show only warnings that concern your airline (Airline Slots, Airline Hubs and Alliance Slots) or disable the scroll bar so you wont see it at all.



Codeshare

Codeshare is a deal that two airlines sign to help each other in the game. To start a codeshare your airline must have at least 100 rating and the airline you offer the codeshare to must have more than 1 and less than 100 rating. You can codeshare with only one airline at a time. Codesharing with another airline has the following benefits:

  • Minimum Passengers/Cargo On Board: Codesharing with another airline will add 7% to the minimum passengers and cargo on board your and your codesharing aircraft. When you codeshare within an alliance you will get 9% added to the minimum passengers and cargo on board instead of 7%.
  • Earnings: When you codeshare with another airline, at the end of each route you and the codesharing airline will give each other 2% of the route's earnings. If you codeshare with an airline with the same team color as your airline you will give each other 3% of the route's earnings.

There is no restrcition on canceling a codeshare agreement. You can cancel it at any time.



Passengers Contracts

Each Day at 00:00 the system will generate 108 new contracts, 6 contracts in each category for each of the 6 continents. At 12:00 the same day the system will generate the same amount of contracts again. When all the contracts are taken you will have to wait for new contracts to be generated. Passengers contracts are divided into 3 categories:

  • Small Size Contracts: Small size contracts are restricted to regional aircraft only. The contracts can be anywhere between 7,500 and 19,000 passengers.
    The reward for the small size contracts is calculated this way: TOTAL PASSENGERS TO CARRY * 250.
    The penalty for the small size contracts is calculated this way: REWARD * 1.5.
  • Medium Size Contracts: Medium size contracts are restricted to medium range aircraft only. The contracts can be anywhere between 3,600 and 6,700 passengers.
    The reward for the small size contracts is calculated this way: TOTAL PASSENGERS TO CARRY * 1000.
    The penalty for the small size contracts is calculated this way: REWARD * 1.5.
  • Large Size Contracts: Large size contracts are restricted to long range aircraft only. The contracts can be anywhere between 2,700 and 7,500 passengers.
    The reward for the small size contracts is calculated this way: TOTAL PASSENGERS TO CARRY * 1700.
    The penalty for the small size contracts is calculated this way: REWARD * 1.5.

You can not fly TO the contract city FROM the same city all the time. For example - if your contract city is New York and the first flight you made was from Toronto, the next flight will have to be from a different city than Toronto. If you make another flight after that from Toronto the passengers amount will not count. After making another flight from a different city to the contract city you can fly from Toronto again. Each airline is limited to one open passengers contract at a time. You CAN have one open passengers and one open cargo contracts at the same time. In order to take a contract your airline has to carry at least 1,000 passengers and have a rating higher than 1. All the contracts are for one week, if you do no finish the contract in a week's time your airline will have to pay the penalty of the contract.

If you finish your contract by using the "Land All Aircraft" button, the reward money will be added to your Bank Account instead of the normal airline funds.



Single Flight Contracts

Each Day at 00:00 the system will generate 30 new contracts, 10 contracts in each category. At 12:00 the same day, the system will generate the same amount of contracts again.

  • Regional: Regional contracts are restricted to regional aircraft only. The contracts can be anywhere between 32 and 150 passengers.
    The reward for the regional contracts is calculated this way: TOTAL PASSENGERS TO CARRY * 600.
  • Medium Range: Medium range contracts are restricted to medium range aircraft only. The contracts can be anywhere between 92 and 317 passengers.
    The reward for the regional contracts is calculated this way: TOTAL PASSENGERS TO CARRY * 600.

For every passenger on board you will get 10 KG of cargo. In order to take a contract one of your aircraft has to be in the origin city but you dont need to have a slot in the destination city to take a contract.

Single flight contracts are just as they sound, it's basically someone or some company renting your aircraft just for one flight, placing X amount of passengers (according to the number you see when you take the contract) on board your aircraft for which you receive extra reward money.



Airline Directorate

Each team color in the game has its own directorate. The directorate airlines are chosen by other airlines with a voting system. Each airline in the game can vote for someone from the same team color. Voting is possible twice a month, in the first half until 15th of the month and from the 15th until the end of the month.

Loans
  • Taking Loans
    Taking loans allow you to get quick cash but loans have interest on them which means that you have to repay more than you actually took.

    • Rating between 10 and 20 - Maximum of $3,000,000 each loan.

    • Rating higher than 80 - Maximum of $10,000,000 each loan.

Each airline is limited to 3 open loans at any given time. If you have 3 open loans you wont be able to take a new loan until you pay one of the open loans you have.If you have an open loan, each day at 00:00 the system will automatically take 1% of the amount you still need to pay from your account.There is 0.5% daily interest on each loan you take.

  • Paying Loans

You can pay the open loans you have at any time. All you have to do is go to the "Manage Loans" screen and write the amount you want to pay. You dont have to pay the loan in full, you can just pay a small amount each time until the loan is fully paid.

You need to remember that the longer your loans are open the more interest you will have to pay.

Affiliate Link

You can use the affiliate link to bring your friends to Cyberairlines. When a member register to the system they can choose their affiliate, this is the only place and time where they can choose the affiliate.

NOTE: Choosing the affiliate is possible only when you register to the system and NOT when you create a new airline. After you register to the system and choose an affiliate this will be your affiliate for life. Declare Bankruptcy and creating a new airline wont change a thing and will not give you the option to choose a new affiliate.

The benefit of bringing new members to Cyberairlines is - when one of your affiliated airlines donates, you receive 10% of the in-game cash reward the donating airline receives (the donating airline get the full in-game cash reward, the 10% is not taken from the donating airline reward).



Rating

Rating determines the world and city ranking in the game. The higher your rating, the higher you rank in the game. Each flight you make and you earn money from the flight you receive a positive rating, if you lose money on the flight you receive a negative rating. This is how the rating is calculated:

  • Passengers Aircraft: (PASSENGERS ON BOARD + CARGO ON BOARD + (FLIGHT DISTANCE * 2.9)) / 240000
  • Cargo Aircraft: ((CARGO ON BOARD / 11) + (FLIGHT DISTANCE * 2.9)) / 240000

From the calculation you can see that the more passengers you have, the more cargo you have and the longer distance you fly the better rating you will get at the end of the flight.
