Was caught off guard to see a new Airbus A321NEO Light lease would have a higher cost $369,900 when compared to the original ones I leased when the server starter was much lower $217,615.
Did I miss that lease cost would fluctuate? Maybe there is a lot of demand for this aircraft and the cost increased. Not a bad idea, (kind of like it) was just not ready for this. Will definitely change my future expansion plans.
Some players stated the 321N Light was way too cheap and so I adjusted the price closer the that of the 321N on Paine to get more feedback for the entire family. Pricing can always be adjusted and Ill bring it down some in the next update for Paine. Final pricing is still a bit difficult as each family goes through the performance update and their performance characteristic may change. This changes the dynamic and what the pricing should be between families.
Thank you for the context!
I am also experiencing the issue with aircraft leasing costs that other players have reported. For example, the B737-900 HGW originally had a leasing rate of $1,210,000(8 yrs old), but mine has now increased to about $1,800,000(14 yrs old). The B757-200 IGW and A350-900 have also shown unexpectedly high increases. This makes it difficult to manage fleet expansion, and I hope a modification or fix can be implemented soon.
I think prices in Paine might be off in general, as it uses a fairly outdated dataset from an internal test server. I’ll check it out later today.
