Ahhhh. I hit level 7 last night before the patch and lost all progress.

I'm not claiming a 25% bonus, I'm just saying that my screenshot showed UNLOADED cargo worth more than the rest going to the same location.
Maybe the dev can clarify?
Right, that's what I see too. It limits downtime, reduces empty space on your planes, and helps you achieve the 25% group bonus more often.
If you have a passenger flying from London to Portland, you can carry him from London to LA with a bunch of mis-matched passengers, then lay him over. This passenger is worth a lot of coin because he's traveling so far. Then, you can group him on a two-seat flight with another guy who is just going from LA to Portland (he's not worth much at all). HOWEVER, the guy from London AND the guy from LA will BOTH get the 25% bonus... despite the fact that the guy from London spent 90% of the journey with passengers to other destinations.
No layover bonus per se, but the original value of the trip continues wherever the passenger is left. The trip value never declines on the layover.
If Orlando to Tokyo is worth 5,000 and I pick a passenger up and drop him off in Hong Kong. His finished trip from Hong Kong to Tokyo will still be worth 5,000 while someone else's might be like 300.
Ah ok, sorry. Read it wrong.

That's because it came from further away.
Like, you'd get 100 coins from London to Munich, and 200 coins from London to Warsaw.
If you do a layover in Munich on the way to Warsaw, your journey is still worth 200 coins, where a normal Munich to Warsaw journey is 100 coins, say.

Oh wait, I get what you're saying. I'm stupid sorry hahaha
Big bonuses stack up when you start trafficking from everywhere. A+
I've taken a bunch of passengers/cargo from say Rome or Berlin to Glasgow or Belfast and dropped them off then had my planes do the Reykjavik - Nuuk - Goose Bay - Thunder Bay - Calgary loop or vice versa to get big bucks. Biggest profit thus far has been 3,900.
Once I get rid of all my layovers from Belfast, I'll probably close down that airport since it isn't serving much good now that I've opened Glasgow and also have Manchester.

If you want to send me the G: number in the settings screen of your game to dave@nimblebit.com I can send you some bux assuming you want to start over. Sorry about the data loss!

The base value of the job never changes from when you pick it up initially, although you can have the full plane bonus applied to it at any point later if it's grouped together.

Is the data loss bug also solved?
I just hit level 10 and am now seeing Birchcraft which are class 2.

I believe the update that just came out solves it, it seems to be working for most people.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Well, we have 3rd place locked up.
Not from a lack of trying. My 100 trips has me 56th for GAFAIR.

If only you could spend some gafbux to get there quicker.

Just 56? TRY HARDER!
I saw that CheapyD was flogging the #CAG group on Twitter and I've noticed the 4th place team has been moving up quite a bit which I imagine is their team. Hard to say where we'll finish up, but it'll definitely be in the top 10!
I have 17 trips and am at 200. Tough having only 3 airports in North America.

Thanks for the offer mate. Absolutely superb community customer service. Definitely enourages me to be a loyal Nimblebit consumer in the future. If nly other gaming companies had the same commitment to their customers. I'm ok though. It's annoying, but I'm happy enough restarting.
Damn your addictive game!
I believe someone said you need to do X number of jobs (think they said 24? seems quite random) to get the reward. Perhaps Dave or Ian can confirm what is necessary to be eligible for the Bux reward on a global event.

At 274 jobs I'm number 5 on GafAir. I probably won't be able to keep this up in future events, though. I'm just lucky I'm currently on my weekend from work these past couple days.
Anyone have Kangaroo-M Body?
Yup tell me about it. Everyone is affected.My planes are grounded in Montreal off a snow storm and it's causing havoc with other flights

Working hard for GAFair here. Can someone tell me how to build planes? I notice I get plane parts whenever I buy an airport, but how do I build them?
Paying more attention to layovers after reading in the thread that they maintain the first price. I got too trigger happy at one point and totally overlooked the fact that some of the layovers I set a while ago offered low payment due to the original distance. Doh.

Layovers seem more trouble than they are worth.. bonus isn't high enough to make it worth remembering whats going on.
Also, am I the only go who spent bucks putting all my pilots in stupid costumes?
I got Domo, a Ghost, Pumpkinhead, Spaceman, Cat, Lumberjack (go Timbers!), Scuba-dood, and Pirate.
My kid picked them all out.

How do you know how many jobs you've done? The ranks thing says will update shortly but it's never shown me
They're worth it with 25% kick imo

Just try again, it'll show.
Go into the parts section and click build, you'll need a body, an engine and a set of controls to build a plane. It's cheaper to build planes this way than buy them.

I hope you guys aren't switching teams on us. Perhaps we should get CAG to come join us.

Most of their readership is probably under the age of 18, thus summer vacation, thus no downtime for you know, things like work + wife + kids + yardwork + beer + basketball + etc.
