is 2000% maintenance ratio good and how to reduce (im new at the game thx)
welcome to airlinesim.
here is what google / AI say:
In AirlineSim, the maintenance ratio measures the efficiency of an aircraft’s upkeep, with 100% or higher required to prevent severe condition degradation. A ratio below 100% means inadequate maintenance, causing the aircraft’s condition to drop, which leads to flight cancellations. Ratios are controlled by leaving gaps of at least 2 hours between flights.
-
Optimal Range: A maintenance ratio of 100%–150% is generally sufficient to keep aircraft in good condition.
-
How it Works: Maintenance happens automatically when a plane is on the ground, indicated by a light blue background in the schedule.
-
The 2-Hour Rule: To perform maintenance, you must leave a gap of at least 120 minutes (2 hours) between flights.
-
High Ratios: A very high ratio (e.g., >150%) means the plane spends too much time on the ground, decreasing earning potential.
-
Quality Matters: Better maintenance providers, such as Helvetic, can improve condition with shorter or fewer breaks.
-
Maintenance Intensity: Short-haul flights require more maintenance time than long-haul flights due to more cycles.
For more details on the system, see the Scheduling Flights section of the AirlineSim Handbook.
