Credits
Credits are the personal money of each pilot, counted in Georgian lari (shown as GEL in the cockpit). Pilots earn them by delivering cargo and spend them on upgrades, insurance and rumors. Flying costs money as well.
Every pilot starts with 5,000 GEL. Accounts are personal; credits cannot be transferred. Fees are charged even when the balance is too low, so it can fall below zero. Purchases need enough credits and a Discord account linked through DCSBot; earning and paying fees do not.
Earning
A crate pays once, when it is delivered with Deliver (see Cargo). The wage grows with the distance from where the crate was produced to where it was delivered, and it shrinks if the crate takes too long to get there. Time in a store does not count; time lying on the ground does.
Everyone who moved the crate closer to its destination gets a share, according to how far their leg brought it. One pilot can fly logs from a forest to an airfield and store them, another can fly them on, and a third can deliver them to the sawmill: all three are paid when the crate arrives. Storing a crate pays nothing.
Fees
| Fee | Charged |
|---|---|
| Takeoff fee | On takeoff from an airfield or heliport: 15 GEL per tonne of the aircraft's maximum takeoff weight, at least 50 GEL. |
| Fuel | 2 GEL per kilogram burnt, charged on landing. A flight that ends without a landing is charged the full fuel load at takeoff. |
| Maintenance | Per flight hour: UH-1H 300 GEL, Mi-8 and UH-60L 800 GEL, CH-47 1,500 GEL, C-130J 2,500 GEL. |
| Ammunition | Per shot: small-calibre round 0.5 GEL, large-calibre round 4 GEL, rocket 40 GEL, bomb 300 GEL, missile 400 GEL. |
| Storage fee | 75 GEL per crate stored, see Cargo. |
Following a lead on a Settlement's notice board costs 800 to 3,200 GEL, depending on the kind of site, see Rumors. Dropped or lapsed leads are not refunded.
A lost aircraft costs a deductible, and an aircraft left standing a recovery fee, see Aircraft Losses.
Wallet
The Wallet entry of the Radio Menu shows the account:
- Overview sums income and costs per category for this session, the last session, 7 days, 30 days or all time.
- Recent Activity lists the latest bookings, one line per flight or purchase.
- Since last visit shows what happened while the pilot was away.
After a longer absence, the balance and the bookings since the last visit are shown once on entering an aircraft. Shares of a delivery made by someone else appear as a line of their own, for example +399 GEL: your Lumber crate from Gori was delivered at Kutaisi.
