Thanks everyone for your help, UK here I come..... Eventually lol

 

[DigitalDevil]

Just got this entry in the BitBook:

"I wonder if our airspeed is faster than that of an unladen swallow?"

I'll take it that he means a European swallow, since that's where I'm located at the moment.

That is a Monty Python joke. Fucking awesome.

 

[Forkball]

It's snowing in Vladivlostock. GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE.

 

[TP17]

If you start in Europe do you always get Munich or if I delete and re-install will I have a change of getting London/Manchester to begin with?

 

[Flunkie]

Can anyone send me a Kangaroo P engine?

What's your GC?

 

[chickdigger802]

Question for the devs.

Gonna be coming back to the states from china in august. Will all my airports be on fire or something when I 'legit' switch timezones?

I know the feeling I've got 2 people and 2 cargo waiting for Barcelona in Belfast stuck in a snowstorm.

Really digging this game. Slow day at work so I managed to empty my iPhone battery with this.

Shouldn't.

A question for you, eeenmachine:

Are the events being made randomly, or is that all based on actual human input?

If so, please bring something to Eastern or South Eastern Asia.. I have yet to get any event (not talking about the main event of course).

 

[nicoga3000]

Finally got about 45k saved up. Time to decide where to expand!!

I just did the same and got NY. San Fran -> St. Louis -> New York

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Hahahahaa, Munich closed.

London - Paris - Berlin HERE WE GO!

 

[AleeN634]

Just downloaded Pocket Planes this morning. It reminds me of Aerobiz and Air Bucks but a lot simpler. I joined gafair and am slowly building up capital. Are there any good beginner's guide posts?

 

[Mithel]

I've been delivering event items to Calgary, but when I click the white check mark under Events on the menu screen, nothing shows up. Is that normal?

 

[parasight]

Who's 4th? They're slowly catching up.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

If you upgrade an airport, what does it do?

For example if berlin is blue it changes to red? Do you get more jobs? More money from jobs?

 

[Chanser]

Yay got the complete collection of Mohawks.

Can class 2 airports become class 3?

 

[AlphaTwo00]

So packed . What are the average lengths of your flights?

Do you incorporate birchcrafts in your setup?

Anywhere from 3-10m. I've been using Winnipeg/ThunderBay/Minneapolis as the layover stops. It's been interesting.

No birchcrafts yet. I've been trying to rebalance all my class 1 flights to 3/4 seaters first...

Fourth is closing in on #GAFAir!!!

More jobs and layover spaces. Class doesn't change.

Pretty sure the answer is no.

 

[Phonomezer]

This is so addictive ;_;

 

[Diablohead]

london to st.petersburg in one line, feels good man.

 

[ServBotPhil]

I am so far behind you guys, started investing in small airports up to level 6 or so. Or is it reasonable to be moving along so slowly. I have a fleet of 7 or so planes. Mostly getting used to attending the game every twenty minutes or so instead of every couple hours. Any tips?

Buh, guess it will be a few months

 

[mrklaw]

Any reason my son can't register a flight crew? Both of us have the game downloaded using my iTunes account (on two separate iPads), and we have separate game center accounts. I can register a flit crew, but his keeps saying 'flight crew details are unavailable at this time'

I downloaded it from iTunes, and his was pushed to his iPad as he has automatic downloads turned on, in case that makes any difference

You were pretty much on the same path I was on. Make sure you have enough cities so that each flight is filled (even if it's a milk run flight), and empty unfilled flight is wasted money...

Using separate iCloud's though right?

Kill the app and try again?

Shame to see the response there. Mobage is a horrible package. I'll be sticking with iOS sadly.

They are initially random but we can do custom ones.

Sounds like temp server issues. I have heard there are issues going through a firewall though.

 

[gofreak]

Feel smug.

Blow 40 bux on a Birchcraft-P.

Realise not all planes can land at all airports.

Realise your new 40-bux aircraft is now out of range of any other airport.

...

:'(

So it's stuck in Lagos, til I open a Paris route at least.

LOL this pic made me laugh. Sad lonely Birchcraft.

Rare cargo: Golden Pickle.

Nice.

 

[Toki767]

Think I'll buy Mexico City and just open up South America since Europe is too far away.

 

[Big Chungus]

Who is #1 in the leaderboards?

 

[calder]

I'm transitioning away from the smaller cities and getting more Birchcrafts. I plan to keep LA, NY, Chicago, Toronto, Detroit, Seattle, Dallas and just got Honolulu, but once the event to Calgary is done I'm getting rid of it and Wpg (sorry hometown ) and the other small cities I have as pit stops for my shorter range planes. Then I can get rid off my remaining 5 Kangaroos and just do long trips.

Also it may not be the most efficient but I'm not getting any more Combo planes, it's only passenger or cargo from here on out. I just find it frustrating to have 4 ppl and 1 cargo for Honolulu but my plane can only take 2/2. I'd rather only see one type so at least I don't see stuff I can't take lol.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

More jobs and layover spaces. Class doesn't change.

Does it compensate?, is there a lot more jobs for a blue one for example (is 46000 an upgrade)?
Would it be similar the number of jobs after the upgrade to a red airport?
46000 is a lot of coins and im not going to test it to be just a shitty upgrade and lose so much money.

I think there needs to be a notice when you are going to upgrade that tells you the exact increase, just like upgrading th planes.

 

[udivision]

Hmm... biggest gripe so far is that you can't convert coins to bux. Don't see why it's 1 way.

 

[Koodo]

Bought the Saskatoon and Calgary airports and sent a little plane over there to fight the good fight.

Spoiler

and be elligible for the competition bux

Thanks!

We're both sitting next to each other, trying at the same time, using the same network. I'm fine, he is blocked. Odd

Edit: worked now, oh well

 

[Diablohead]

So you spend real money of course.

Also if you just watch one of your planes for a minute or two you will find a bux floating fast, tap it to claim it.

Nice.

I saw that too. It looked a little blurred out though as if it was an award of ill repute.

Level?

 

[Dommel]

So one of my airports has been closed due to fog since this morning. I've been playing on and off throughout the day but 11 hours later it's still closed.

That has to be a bug right?

Two of my biggest planes are stuck there

 

[panama chief]

Hey eeen or Dave, seeing how only 5 crews have cracked 10000 on the mission, are there plans to restructure the way gifts are given? Sounds greedy, but top five seem to be really putting in work while 6 down will reap the same rewards.

 

[Flunkie]

Can't wait for this Calgary bullshit to be over so I can close 3+ airports. The next blue event will probably be in freaking Asia or something.

I agree with this. A Top 5 prize would really be worth everyone who's not #TouchArcade to be fighting for.

I'm not finding this as compelling as I had been. Now that a couple of my planes can't land at a the majority of my airports. Sacrificing money in order to drop off layovers is a bit of a drag. A bit.

I know, I know.

Maybe my first two iOS games shouldn't have been Tiny Tower and Pocket Planes. Starting too see why some people don't like this direction for mobile games.

 

[EleventhDoctor]

Thanks for the donation, Flunkie! I just made my first +1000 profit flight!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

 

[senador]

I don't like that the most effective method is to have fewer bigger airports. That seems less fun and I don't want to do it. I'd rather the game scale somehow so that the small ones are worth it. A coin bonus, auto pilot for small ones, something. I just find the other way boring, I guess I'll just keep playing my way with slower progress since its more fun to me.
