Just Flight - Cargo Pilot

On Friday your company will reflect new money based on two sources: 1). your deliveries, and 2). revenue from "other" sources in the firm

All in all, it takes several weeks of flying and aircraft upgrades to make the big cash-- enough for jumbo jets, but the sim is somewhat bizarre in that it gives you more reward money if you spend a good deal of time in the air, as opposed to really looking at your Return On Investment (ROI) for more difficult and lucrative cargo runs. I would have preferred a selection switch during installation that only took into account actual expenses (fuel, aircraft maintenance, aircraft upgrades, etc) against income from deliveries. It's a very unrealistic business model when you get an unexpected windfall of several million dollars on Friday mornings.

Just Flight says they were trying to give the simmer an opportunity to have an earlier experience with big jets by making it easier to come up with cash. All it did for me was make me put it on the shelf and not use it again. I assume you have checked out the Cargo Pilot forum:
