There i was minding my own business, £32million quid in the bank, just completed a 2hour flight and then decided to check the price of an aircraft i was thinking of buying, all of a sudden my account had swelled to £120million pounds!!!! I've only put in 4 hours of flying time in the last week, not touched CP for weeks! Any ideas why this may of happened?
Ps - Just treated myself to a BAE 146-300QT (£40million) and am now looking at a brand new office screen to boot.

Has took the shine off CP a little bit, i prefer to work for my money!

I had the same problem, last week. My budget jumped to 90 millions and after flying with a 737 , i found the 747 and airbus 380 affordable, and this rendered the game completely aimless.
in my case i think the cause was the date ,when i realised it was accidently 2007, i quit CP, fixed the date to 2008. Returning to CP, i was shocked by the huge amount of money. and as you said took the shine off

One thing I've always noticed is that if you haven't opened CP up on a Friday, all the flying you've done becomes cumulative when you do open it on a Friday (or move your computer's clock ahead).

As for the huge payouts, JF wanted to make a balance between realism and entertainment.  Doesn't mean that flying the widebodies is any less challenging.

Only flew 2.5 hours last week and been rewarded with £25million quid, this is getting ridiculous now, starting from scratch in the US with a new company. I've sussed out i could copy a file over (finance) from another company to give me a head start financially, i know this may be defeating the object but could mean starting with a decent aircraft from the beginning. Just a thought.

I don't care too much for money.  Because money can't buy me love.
