Week #1
Day 3: First plane order!

Start with:
1) Spin the Wheel to get some TC
2) Check for any free items in the workshop
- if plane, take them and sell them (except if IL-963)
3) If you are on mobile, watch the slot machine ads, and spin all your 20 tickets
4) Take the free wallet (available 24h after you opened it the day before)

Check your R&D balance, you should be around 30M of R&D$

- Finish the research LH Catalog "airbus track" -> IL-96-300 (3M, 3h)

- Accept the loan from Mini Bank of yesterday (250M)
- Borrow from Mini "Market Loan"
Pick the maximum amount (~67M)
Set the period to 40 weeks.
You need to provide either estimated growth or Estimated structural profit
enter into "Estimated structural profit": "1000"

Repeat the opration until they refuse to lend you more.
That should be 4 borrows of ~67M

After this and the Mini borrowing of the day before, your bank account should be at about $900M

- Unlock the R&D "Medium-size lab" Level 2 (cost 15M) - 2h30min
- Unlock the R&D "Medium-size lab" Level 3 (cost 15M) - 2h30min

- Set your R&D Research Budget to the maximum you can, this should be 8,750,000$

- Route Pricing:
go to see your internal audits for the routes you bought.
Their audits should be up to date (due to the external audit done on day 1).
Do perform ONE internal audit as this will give you $3M from the agenda.

Then, use the Perfect Seat Finder on this site, load the internal audit of your routes
like so:




Run the calculation, which would give you the ideal price to set your tickets.


Here, we plan to only put 7 planes (therefore Wave = 1).
It clearly shows the best seat configuration: 300 seat eco, 0 seat business, 0 seat first; and 10 T of cargo.
Since cargo is not unlocked, this can be left out for now.

Set the price for each route as listed in the table.
Once done, it should look like this:


Note that the eco demand should be at ~600 passengers (our 300 seat eco, times 2 for the roundtrip).
Some routes are at 601 or 602; this is fine, just that the precision to $1 may shift this below 600.

Business and First class are set to the audit price, since we will have zero seats in these categories.

- Put an order of 7 planes: IL-96-300
Set the seat configuration as: 300 eco / 0 business / 0 first (as given from the "perfect seat finder")

- When planes are received, schedule them on the circuit: PEK-PVG-TPE-LIM-HGH-NKG
This would unlock the agenda "schedule a flight"

- Once they are schedule, check your forecast for tomorrow
You should see about $16M for the turnover of tomorrow.
This may vary a little, depending when you schedule your plane in the day.
It also unlocked one item in the agenda.

- Go see one of your aircraft and check the details
This unlocked a "check an aircraft's detail"

- Time to revisit the agenda, you should have:
unlocked "schedule a flight" (+2M)
unlocked "audit performed" (+3M)
unlocked "cash flow forecast" (+2.5M)
unlocked "check an aircraft's detail" (+8M)

Now this has wrapped up the initial "basic agenda"
a few more items will popup as compelted:
- Set daily research at 1M (+12M)
- Visit the research center (+12M)
If they dont appeared as completed, just visit the related page.
The only one that should be left for now is to unlock service.
If you still have at least 1M of R&D$, you can go and research the cheapest one (Pick: low cost toilet)

Finally, you should have at least 150M in bank, and will slowly start reciving incomes from the birds.

Summary:
- Unlocked one of the best aircraft of the game (IL-96-300).
This will be the workhorse for the comming weeks.

- Boosted the R&D further, allowing 8,750,000$/day
This should bring at least 35M tomorrow for further research

- Scheduled the first 168h circuit

Rational:
- Expecting a turnover of about ~16M/day
- Result (turnover minus fees and fuel), would be at ~13.7M
- From with we need to pay the R&D of 8.75M/day and salary
- Down to +4M per day (before tax!)
- Note that in 6 days from now, there will be bank reimboursment kicking in (7M/week)

Bear with me, you'll spend more on R&D then what you are actually earning.
We will rely on banks to support this temporary expense and keep growing the R&D.

Unlocking all the banks requires +1B of R&D;
therefore it has to be cranked to the roof (40M/day), and we are now at 25% of this (10M/day).

Initial cash and "cola" helps to unlock higher R&D budget.
You burn more cash then you earn to get to final R&D conversion.
Then the converted R&D budget allows research of banks
Banks will finance your planes.
