Planning Our Expansion - Ep 7 - Let's Play SimAirport

[@NoSlack]

I’m thinking of doing a 24-hour live stream next weekend. What do ya think?

[@roryo5031]

That’d be awesome

[@coybandit3438]

Sounds good to me no slack

[@wojtek9675]

What are you going to be playing?

[@NoSlack]

With 24 hours I could play EVERYTHING!

[@matthewfinkel3210]

@@NoSlack Plz play some either this or airport ceo

[@dankster83]

The biggest single thing you can do to make money is pay off the loan, then researching the two tax reducing options. It's crazy how much of a difference it makes.

[@MrKalaika]

Easy way for more gates, use remote gates and have the remote gate stand on the underside of your main building just don’t fill them too tightly as you have the bus travel time too. (You’ll need more hangers for busses etc) this will lead nicely to luggage’s system and you can have an hub right next to those gates and then another next to your terminal gates. Need longer runway for the (707?) then cancel all the tiny flights work on the big ones as the 2k to 14k difference big and those more people spend more inside too Another good video though really enjoying the series

[@NoSlack]

Good tips. Thanks.

[@MrKalaika]

My pleasure, happy I found your channel as really enjoying the videos and starting to work through some of your other game videos particularly enjoying the hospital one.

[@garethholland9466]

to make more money sell all the stuff in the storage area by using the sell tool

[@ryang256]

Idea: Add more small gates on the other side of the terminal underneath the 2nd floor expansion for the large gates. Then just connect the taxiway. You'll get more usage out of the square footage. Oh, and your escalators are looking like a bottleneck. Might want to add a few more.

[@KimberCTurner]

Add some gift shops and book stores. You can pick the pockets of the pax while they wait for their flights.

[@MikiaMcGowan]

Please put chairs next to the tables by the kiosk and restrooms. People cannot sit down to eat. Then again, I am new to this game, and people may only sit down at restaurants.

[@bruceirving7309]

You might want to assign your new ticket counters to the que. There is a bit of bedlam at them right now.

[@issieplayzzz361]

NoSlack you should build a cafeteria in a first class lounge with some phone chargers. If you want the 707 in your airport you also need a bigger gate then the medium ones with the jetway which is the tube that connects from the airport to the airplane

[@AaronPangMusic]

It's interesting watching your gameplay. You like to move on to new things without completing the goals you had in mind at the beginning of episodes, not that it's a bad thing, just interesting. In episode 2 you wanted to address Boredom and install an arcade next to the bar, which hasn't happened yet. Since episode 2 you've wanted to pay down the debt and keep knocking it down, but you continued to take out loans to expand. You noticed the coffee tables not being used beside the bar but didn't know that people would use them if you install chairs around them. Also scheduling smaller flights with fewer passengers is better than having no flight scheduled at all. Every flight is pure profit, whether it's 50 passengers or 150. Scheduling a 50 passenger flight might only make you $1000 a day, but scheduling no flight makes you $0. Those flights add up. Also, in those 50 seat flights, the passengers that come out might use the vending machines, buy food/drink, etc and also that small plane might decide to refuel. Small flight make less money but would still increase reputation with the airline and you can always schedule better flights in the future. Also talking about refueling, even though you feel like keeping the commercial fees high by selling fuel at +10% profit is what makes you more money, less airlines are inclined to refuel when you do that. When you mouse over a plane you can see their refueling chance. It's been sitting at around 33% possibly because your fuel is expensive. If you lower your profit margin to +5% or even just to +7%, more planes coming in might be more inclined to refuel and that might drive your total profits higher than if you had a +10% profit margin. Finally, paying down the loan is easier if you try to pay down either $25K or $50K a day. Just pressing the 'pay 25K' button once every 24 hrs game time helps so much, yes it will delay expansions, but not by much, especially if you have a fully booked flight schedule and book both small and large flights, remember the small flights and small things add up over time, and even if those small things net you only between $7K-$10K per day, it adds up over time. By forcing yourself to pay $25k a day and playing around that goal, your interest is lowered each time and you pay it down faster. Yes looking at paying back $800K is daunting and it's easy to just say "I'll get to it later" but as long as that's there, the $42k interest payment isn't going to go away ever. Hope this helps if you ever play this game again, love the content.

[@NoSlack]

Wow, thanks for the super thoughtful comment! I’ve definitely noticed that I do that. A lot of times I have a goal in mind, it’s not necessarily a goal I plan on accomplishing in that one specific video. Also, sometimes other things become more if a priority as I play. I’m glad you like the content on the channel! Hopefully someday soon I’ll get back to regular videos.

[@AdamSmith-ig5bu]

Oh nice.

[@wojtek9675]

The reason you loss some money of fuel bc it also had to completely fill up the new tank

[@andreambuter6806]

He took out both male restrooms by security and added another female in the replacement expansion. So guys only have one and women have three

[@void1036]

why don't you have more subs i love your videos and you don't mess around I love that plus you actually try to play the game instead of messing it up " keep up the good work" and your the first channel I gave a like and a sub in years.

[@NoSlack]

Thank you! Means a lot to me.

[@egoryakubenku34]

Hi, I have been watching since before the first simAirport, and I really like your vids, So keep it up!

[@NoSlack]

Thanks Egor!

[@reddestcreeper2754]

LETS GO NoSlack NO DISLIKES!! WHOO

[@WarrsawBean]

Add another male restroom in the north. Makes things a tad more symmetrical, plus, it’s an unused space.

[@ollydale4606]

to improve both passenger and airline satisfaction do the baggage system this should also create more airline interest with larger planes

[@speedyingles5991]

i like your channel keep on playing this game you doing good

[@Thumper770]

If your storage areas get too big, you can sell the stuff in it.

[@mrdonut4145]

Make it an asphalt runway and put lights on it for the eam

[@mrdonut4145]

That should work cause it'd make sense

[@stenkolive4848]

Great video ! thanks..

[@gamifio4993]

Love this sires

[@matthewfinkel3210]

Tou should do an airport CEO series

[@ollydale4606]

i said the same on a live vid he said he might do it after this lot

[@Thumper770]

I like to make sure my retail sales cover my staff wages. I try to at least keep the numbers close.

[@unbreakablebros3615]

I love this

[@chilidog1659]

What if you save up on some money and the go crazy and get 1 extra large gate it would be worth it and get thoughts big planes in some nice planes also love your videos

[@Sammy_98]

PAY off the loan DUDE! That is MONEY coming IN!

[@johnpratt1661]

You need top pay down the loan as quick as possible before spending all that money! The reason the daily interest is not going down is because you are not paying anything on the principal!

[@Thumper770]

You STILL don't have a baggage system yet? Those poor Flintstones going up and down those stairs with that cart......

[@jagershuis]

It's always fun to watch your videos. But sometimes, I feel pity about you. You're so optimistic and enthusiastic that you forget what the consequences are of your actions. My first tip: Be prepared, plan ahead. Having a L-gate is nice but there are no Large planes. Because the runway is too short (as you've found out). For Large planes, you need a runway that has at least 150 tiles. Then you can handle a 707, a 767 and a 787. Keep in mind that they have max. resp. 180, 250 and 300 passengers. Can you handle so many passengers? That leads me to the next tip: Build a few stairways to the 2nd floor close to the ticketing area. Have a large security area on the 2nd floor. Not enough room? Tip: Build the offices and conference room(s) on the 3rd floor. Have you (as a passenger) ever seen the office area? It is out of sight. Tip: Research everything. You will create more flexibility in doing things. Last tip: Do not pay off your loan. What do you gain? Try to find a solid way of earning more money because you will need the money. Paying off 800,000 will take a long time and you'll need the money for the necessary extensions. A long(er) runway cost a lot of money AND you will have to by land. Land is not cheap but you will need it. Try to have more than a million, yes 1,000,000 and hire more workmen when building your 240 tiles runway. Success, I will keep following you

[@djaeb2001]

Agree with everything but the loan part. Faster you pay it off, the faster you get that interest money back in your own pocket.

[@Sammy_98]

Smaller flights need more fuel.

[@thegod4062]

you still kept the female restrooms, I would make them for the people who have not cleared security and put the doors next to baggage claim.

[@Thumper770]

Not sure if you realized but, those XL info signs are one sided.

[@misterguru5135]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJWxqHludtybgrs - This DAILY interest cost is damn incredible! I'm pretty sure that's the YEARLY interest - I think that this might be a BUG!

[@RandomDude989]

You do realize that the secure area only has a female restroom and the secure area now had two female restrooms? Posting this at the 45 second mark....

[@matthewfinkel3210]

[@jagltiger7089]
