What's the most lucrative route you've flown?

[capnwayne]

What route, aircraft, company settings have earned you the most money on a flight?

When I need to top up my company funds I fly a 747 from VNKT to VTSM, a three hour trip to earn ... $35-37 million a pop including fleet bonus.

Let me hear from you, is there a more profitable combination?

P.S. There is no 'blown tire bug' knucklehead.

Wow. I wish I could get that much on a single flight.

Most I made so far is 250.000$ on a 3 hour flight in my Twin Otter.

But I am doing it in career mode and the hard start where you only have 3 million or so when you start since I wanted it to be an adventure and not just get to all the big
planes too fast and too easily.

Plus my fleet is quite small, so not much bonus there yet;

- PA-28 tundra wheels
- P46T Malibu Mirage
- C208B Cessna Caravan
- DHC6 Twin Otter

And yesterday I bought a Fairchild for some fun bush flying in Oregon at the Orbx 05S airport addon

Small steps... but I am getting there, slowly, surely and having fun all the way.

I need to save up 24 million for my Majestic Dash-8 though... Lots more flights to be done! Most likely I'll invest in another Twin Otter and build a small fleet of those. Love
to buy a tundra-tire variant and do airport hopping in Alaska

I've just finished a 9 hour flight from Dallas to Oslo, with the PMDG 777, earned me only 5895091$ :p

Anyways...after I closed down FSX, and then started it up again, Steam of course automatic updated FSX, so now FSPassengers don't work anymore, that sucks big time since I mainly use FSPassengers not only for the passenger/money-earning-part, but also so I can log all my flight-data, landingspeed, time airborne, and all that, so I actually never fly without FSPassengers...

I was super disappointed today cause I spent most of yesterday evening installing a new airplane, a new airport and scenery... all so I could log on today and do some
tour flights in FSPassengers while enjoying the new addons... plus I was going to stream the game.

Now it feels just pointless cause FSPassengers got shafted in the last update.

I dunno what Dovetail did, but why the hell would they make the game incompatible with FSPassengers? I don't understand... and right now I just feel angry and want to
downgrade to previous FSX : SE version

Dont tell me this is the second time they did an update that stopped fsp from working. If Dan allowed you then you could change what version fsp wants fsxse
to be. If all fails then go boxed

Yeah, I've commented that on their Steam-page, Martin said that we have to contact Dan about it, but it would be better for everyone that it would be possible to downgrade to the previous version, so we still can use FSP until it gets updated.
I fly mostly the Airbus from Aerosoft, but yesterday I bought PMDG 737 NGX and PMDG 777, and used the whole day to learn the basics, and was looking forward to doing some long-haul flights with the 777, and short-haul flights with the 737, the only long-haul flight I had the change to do was the 9-hour flight, I see it as pointless flying long-haul without FSP, because I enjoy all the features in FSP that makes the flight actually mean something, instead of flying an empty airplane for 9 hours.

I think dovetail should put previous versions as public betas like SCS does for ets2

Whoa! I made $49.8 million after a VNKT to VTSP in a 777 with high-density passenger load of 591. I just edited the payload file and reduced some cargo capacity and
increased passenger capacity. I have 37 aircraft in the fleet and slowly turning them all into widebody aircraft for more earning power. Ahem, I'm already a 'Flying Legend'
c23. Bow before me newbie!

[ivanfriends]

i flew with an a380 and earned about 62.7mill from KLAX to LFPG

[jazzaviator]

119.4M

FeelThere ERJ-195. TJSJ-KIAH. 4hr28min

I do have maximum fleet and I modified the payload. no cargo/965 passengers -- all pax changed to 0yrs of age. ticket prices set to VIP. service prices normal (one click below high); quality perfect (80%). fuel at 21680lbs
