Profit way too low for all vehicles

Post by thediddle3358 »

In the train list window, it reports that my trains made over 10 million in profit last year, but the finances window and consequently my bank balance only report 2 million in income. This is also happening for my road vehicles and planes. I keep losing money every year, and I'll be bankrupt soon!

You are using either cargodist or explicit transfer orders and your pax are piling up somewhere and are not getting to their final destination. The vehicle list shows a virtual profit that is calculated by allocating a fraction of the final profit to each leg in the journey. The final real profit is only paid to you when the journey is finished. Thus, if you never deliver the pax to the final destination, you are not getting real profit.
