Bah, just got to level 9 and there's no new plane.
I never got on with Tiny Tower, but loving this so far.
I signed up to the GafAir flight crew, does it have to be accepted or anything like that?
Making lots of internal flights at the moment, between Detroit, Montreal, Ottawa and Charleston.
I have plenty of work to do today, so must resist the urge to check iPod every 5 minutes.

You don't have to be accepted.
I have it open on my ipad next to my monitor as I work, picking up coins (and even a bux!) in the air from the corner of my eye.
This might not work out very well...
Same here. Didn't bring my iPad charger though, at 70% battery so should make it through most of the day.

Population of the airport I think.

It's just like how the leaderboards on 1000 Heroz worked, really.
Does anyone know what layovers are for? My airports all seem to have 0/10L or 0/6L next to them and I have no idea what it means.
And yeah, loving this.
I'm such an idiot. Bought an airport in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. And then realised that my planes don't have the distance to travel from central Europe
I wonder how long it takes to get transatlantic capable planes...

So yeah... I don't see the benefit of M class planes. Sure you get more options, but you don't get the bonus if you bring like 1 dude and 1 cargo to the same city. =/

Yeah you do.
Slightly confused about Events. I see Warsaw listed, which is an airport next to my current area that I am saving up money to open. Does this list mean the Pirate event is going on right now or that it will start soon?
13hrs left until it starts.

I had this problem yesterday with Muscat. Supergophers are your friend.
Well I've just this second bought Warsaw, so I'll let you know what happens...Slightly confused about Events. I see Warsaw listed, which is an airport next to my current area that I am saving up money to open. Does this list mean the Pirate event is going on right now or that it will start soon?

We were pretty sure those were additional events that go on during the main Global Event. Not sure if they count toward your Global Event score so people who decide not to start near Calgary can get a piece of the action, or if they're just extra events that you have to do 1,000 times for an unlock or something.
The timer to the right of the event is the duration that it lasts before it will end.
In other news, running trips to Calgary again this morning! Can't believe we took 1st place overnight!
I think if the event name is in blue, the event is ongoing (Calgary currently blue) and so that time is the time left of the event.
When the text is just plain white, then it's an upcoming event and the time is ticking down to when it starts.

When the text is blue, it's the global event. The rest are... we don't know. They either count or they don't!

This is driving me nuts: is there some way to tell whether or not your plane can/can't fly to a city? I really, really wish the airport wouldn't display jobs that my 500 mile radius planes can't fly to (I'm currently stationed in the USA West Coast, but I've also unlocked Vancouver and Calgary). I've gotta be missing something here; it's driving me nuts loading people onto my planes, only to find out I can't fly far enough, then going back in the menu, unloading them, then loading other people.
Also, does anything happen when you're watching your planes fly, aside from the opportunity of getting random coins? Who the hell would watch that just to get 2 or 3 coins? That adds up to nothing.

Ah I see, cheers!

No auto gameplay, but based on some of the flights I'm doing with 2 people and one cargo, I'm gettin 20+ minute flights. By tonight I'll probably be doing hour long flights with multiple drop offs. If the game paces itself well, we'll all need about a week before we're doing cross Atlantic flights that take all night. So eventuall we'll be earning money while we sleep, just takes some time to get there.

You can fly via other airports, if that helps.
Also, you get Bux sometimes from the planes flying.
Bux fly by with surprising frequency. I've picked up about 10 or so sofar.
It is extremely distracting though, yes

Well I thought that was what the blue dots next to available passengers meant; that you could reach their destination with the current plane, either via direct route, or by stopover. But I don't think that's the case.
toythatkills
Member
Nah, the dots signify how busy the airport is. Red is busiest, then blue then black.
Buy them...or failing that launch every plane and tap like mad in the hope that each one gives you a buck (not going to happen).

Anyone knows how you can see how many times you did an event. For example the one in Warsaw. I don't mean the world event but the green ones.

Click event, click the check mark

Someone's about to get a nasty surprise.
Yeah, busier airports have more available jobs.

Yea, this is the most accurate. Wario64 ran 2 jobs to Hilo and it just marked on a counter as 2/1000.

Just remember you can get anywhere with any plane regardless of their range, you just need to make more stops. Keep clicking airports until you get where you need to be, assuming you aren't unreasonably far from the destination you'll still make a profit in the end even if you don't leave anyone or anything at a stop.

Hmm not quite feeling this one as much. I'm kind of already bored with it after 30 mins or so. It doesn't seem to be hooking me in.
