Do I have to fly in South America?
No. You may fly everywhere. Your choice is totally free.
Just join the FSE group “Air Child” and take group assignments or make your own new assignments, in South America or elsewhere.

I wanted to fly with the Twin Otter from SCEL, but it's "locked"...
What's going on?

When you select assignments and send them to your "MyFlights", they are "locked"/unavailable for other pilots. The same happens when you hire an aircraft.

Let's make the next deal:
We only put group assignments in our "MyFlights" and/or hire an aircraft max. one hour before to begin the flight. If we can't make the flight at that time, we will cancel it (to make group assignments and/or aircraft available for other pilots).

Flying to many green assignments leads in getting charged with a booking fee.

Did you know, that the green assignments are a bit different to the black ones?

First of all the greens are more profitable because they are generated by the FBO's owned by users. As long as you carry up to 5 assignments (not passengers), it doesn't matter. But if you are carrying 6 assignments, you will be charged with a so called Booking Fee of 6% of your income, if you are carrying 7 assignments, the fee raises to 7% and so on (there is a maximum fee, but I currently don't know, how much it is)

Just a example:

You are starting at Airport A and you have 8 assignments on board, each of them 1000v$. Four of them are going to Airport B, the remaining assignments go to Airport C.

You are now flying from A to B. At B you will get an income of 4*1000 v$=4000, but you will be charged with a booking fee of 320 v$ (8 greens=8%). From B you fly the remaining 4 assignments to C. At C you get another 4000 v$, but you will not charged with a booking fee, because you have less than 6 green assignments on board.

Green single pax assignments are often more profitable than 3Pax Assignments - but filling up your plane with just "SinglePaxAssignments" leads to a higher Fee...

In certain circumstances it can be more profitable to fill the plane with less assignments...

Time for calculations ;)

Aircraft shipping

From the Guide:
Smaller aircraft can be disassembled, crated up, and shipped as cargo in larger aircraft. The disassembly and reassembly process costs money, takes time, and must take place at an FBO (player-owned or system) that is equipped with a maintenance facility. Once the aircraft is disassembled, you can contract with another player to deliver your aircraft, or deliver it yourself, with a suitable aircraft.

Just be careful.

When you begin to crate an aircraft (aircraft is being disassembled) you can't cancel or revert the proces anymore.

Wet or Dry renting? Which one do I have to use?

From "Your First Flight":
Wet Rental vs. Dry Rental
In simplest terms, wet rental price includes all fuel you burn. With dry rental, the fuel you use for this flight (and only this flight) is calculated separately and shown on the flight summary when the assignment is complete. Some aircraft give you a choice to rent wet or rent dry. Some aircraft are only one or the other. You can calculate the benefits of wet vs. dry by looking at the cost of fuel at that airport and the aircraft’s fuel burn rate. From there, you decide what the better deal is. (Aircraft without a ‘Rent Wet’ or ‘Rent Dry’ indicates that the aircraft is privately owned and the owner does not wish to offer it for rent.) It is important to note that you do not pay for any fuel that you pump into the plane - the fuel bill is always sent to the owner. On a dry rental, though, you will repay the owner for the precise amount of fuel that you burned enroute.

From the Manual:
Wet vs. Dry, Tacho vs. Hourly - How Rental Costs are Applied
The following is a summary of the two types of rental prices.

Dry Rental Price:
The dry rental price is the price per unit for flying the airplane, not including any fuel. You will be charged extra for the fuel you used while in flight.

Wet Rental Price:
The wet rental price is the price per unit for flying the airplane, with fuel included! In this situation, the aircraft owner is charging you a little more, but you have the safety in knowing that you won't be charged for gas at the end of your flight.

Tacho (Tachometer) Method
Tachometer billing is used on light planes, and is a unique method of billing customers. In this case, the pilot is charged based upon the engine RPM's used during the course of the flight. This means that when taxiing, the pilot is being charged far less than when he is taking off and cruising. Tacho billing is often used on smaller planes. The benefits of this method include paying more for the times the engines are stressed, and less when they are not. This also may save the pilot in the long run, as tacho billing encourages the pilot to conserve engine RPMs, and that means saving on fuel, too. There are drawbacks, including the inability to accurately predict the ending rental price, as well as not being a very friendly rental method if you absolutely, positively, must be at your destination as fast as humanly possible.
Hourly Method
Hourly billing begins charging you the moment you start the Client to the moment you log the flight at shut down. This is one of the more typical ways for billing aircraft use, and is found on large and small aircraft. The benefits to this method include a very straightforward, easy to understand, and predictable billing method. Drawbacks include the fact that you are charged the same for taxiing as you are for cruising.

When you combine these two factors (wet/dry and hourly/tacho), you will have your rental price. This fee will be deducted from earned revenue at the end of your flight.

Re: ACH-FSE: FAQ's (airliners?)

I want to fly airliners in ACH-FSE. Is it possible?

Yes, FS Economy has "all-in"-jobs or -assignments.

These jobs are based on the concept of being hired as a charter pilot for the FSE system itself.

The system will have selected a job, selected an airplane, and prepared compensation for the safe completion of the flight. All you have to do is fly it! All-in jobs will pop up at chosen airports and be assigned a specific airplane which matches the job's requirements.

Simply add the all-in job to your assignment queue and rent the associated airplane to fly one! Remember, with all-in jobs, you are not the boss! Because of this, any other assignments in your "My Flights" page will need to stay on the ground, and only the all-in job should board the designated airplane. That being said, the cost of fuel, rental charges and additional crew fees will all be taken care of for you by "the boss". Once your job is completed you will be paid your job wages minus the very modest ground crew fees which might be owed to local FBO owners.

Some aircrafts you can find with these "all-in"-assignments are: Airbus A320, Airbus A321, Antonov An-32, BAe 146-100 (Avro RJ70), BAe Jetstream 41, Boeing 737-800, Bombardier Challenger 300, Bombardier CRJ-200ER, Bombardier Dash-8 Q400, Bristol Britannia 300, Cessna Citation X, Dassault Falcon 7X, Douglas DC-3, Embraer ERJ-145LR, Ilyushin Il-18D, Lockheed C-130, Saab 340B.

To say it shortly, these aircrafts cannot be sold, they cannot be bought, they cannot be rented. They only can be flied.

Re: ACH-FSE: FAQ's (The world of FSE - summary)

FSE World

In FSE we have airports, seaplane bases and military bases.
These can have the next sizes: airstrip (1 lot), small (2 lots) and large (3 lots).
The pilots use aircrafts to fly the jobs or assignments (cargo and/or passengers) from/to airports.

The airports can have FBO's (Fixed Base Operators).
You may build a FBO with 10000 kg BM (Building Materials) per lot.
For example, building a 2-lot FBO on a 3-lot large airport requires 20000 kg BM.

You can currently build two different constructions on a FBO:
- PT (Passengers Terminal), to generate jobs/assignments with passengers, it requires 2000 kg BM. Each PT has “gates”, depending on the size of the FBO and the size of the airport (max=3x3=9), and each gate can support a maximum of 3 pax (max=9x3=27 pax per assignment).
- Repair shop, to repair aircrafts, maintenance, avionics upgrades, 100-hours checks. It also requires 2000 kg BM.

A FBO can also:
- sell fuel
- trade goods
- provide ground crew services

You must have supplies to keep a FBO running.
Examples:
a 1-lot FBO on a airstrip (1-lot) needs 10 kg supplies per day,
a 1-lot FBO on a small (2-lot) airport needs 20 kg supplies per day,
a 2-lot FBO on a small (2-lot) airport needs 40 kg supplies per day,
a 3-lot FBO on a large (3-lot) airport needs 90 kg supplies per day.

FSE supports four types of goods:
- Building Materials (BM)
- supplies
- 100LL Fuel, fuel for aircrafts with piston engines
- Jet-A Fuel, fuel for jets and turboprop aircrafts
