a question for folks that got a pearljet going from NY to London.

In terms of profit, would it be better if say from NA, I stuff up my jet with 5 jobs to london for the 25% bonus, or to stuff up my jet with w/e jobs i have to airports i got in EU (but drop off at london) which will be distributed by my small fleet over there?

Stuff it with EU jobs. As long as your EU fleet is bringing NA people to your london airport you'll end up making more money. At least that how it seems to me.

 

[Stormwatch]

The 25% bonus only applies to the flight that brings stuff to it's final destination. So, you could theoretically bring a ton of random stuff over to London and the have the small fleet over there bring full aircraft to the final destination for the bonus.

 

[chickdigger802]

oh dear.

now i know why my NY and London are packed.

I keep on dropping cargo stuff there when all I have is a passenger pearl

Pearls are damn expensive T_T.

 

[udivision]

It'll be South Africa. No one's in South Africa.

I was. I restarted to move to the US to get to Calagary. Not doing that again...
EDIT: Also thanks to everyone who taught me how to use my iphone ._.

 

[Row]

[Fuu]

Got tired of waiting and bought the first full Pearjet-M, Europe here I come.

you still need like 42 bux to upgrade it so it can fly that far :/

 

[Fuu]

I already had it all on me, all according to plan.

edit: you guys keep calling it Pearljet, I almost thought I made a typo. :lol

 

[GreenCyder]

What do you need to upgrade on the pearjet? Just the 3 fuel upgrades to make the London and NY flight?

yep.

 

[numble]

Has anyone ever actually completed one of the minor events?

 

[chickdigger802]

ahhh fuck. NY down for an hr T_T.

that is the crux of my strategy

 

[Heel]

Is the flight crews thing broken right now? I'm stuck at 5 deliveries on the leaderboard.

 

[yodathesoda]

Finally upgrade to do transatlantic with LA, New York, London, Moscow and New York goes down. Whelp.

 

[calder]

ahhh fuck. NY down for an hr T_T.

Yeah it sucks. It's even better when next time you start it up London's shut down. ;(

 

[Fuu]

NY going down as soon as I buy and upgrade this very expensive jet to fly from there to London is hilarious.

 

[Stormwatch]

Jakarta is down too! My whole Brisbane supply chain is ruined!

 

[Row]

yea I have NY too, with two planes stuck there. I do have boston though, so I just use that instead as my gateway to europe for now

 

[chickdigger802]

well glass half full.

A good excuse for me to take a break ;P

 

[Toki767]

Just bought London, although none of my planes can make it there yet. Think I'll start expanding a bit across Europe though.

 

[jrDev]

How does reducing airplane weight help when I upgrade it?

I believe it reduces the cost of flying.

 

[Smiley90]

Snow Storm in Nuuk -flips table-

Thanks!

 

[seady]

Am I playing this game wrong? I hardly make any money from each flight and getting new airport is like super super expensive.

Until like level 10 I had the same feeling, now I'm making money more easily with bigger airports --> more jobs to the same location/more exp bonus and longer routes... should be better to buy new airports now. But fuck Nuuk down for an hour, I guess I'll have to take a forced break.

 

[yogloo]

Are we going to drop down to 6th? I built brisbane area airport to help out as much as possible. :| seems futile.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Looks like the FlightCrew stats have bee stuck for a few hours. I swear we've been at 16716 for like 2 hours, and I've put in at least 50 deliveries during that time.

Interesting to see this many people going down: nothing in Australia has gone down during this time...

Came here to ask this.. Been sitting on 150 deliveries all day and have done at least another 40 in that time but not updated. Glad I'm not the only one

I thought it was at that when I went to bed 8hrs ago...

 

[lefantome]

I'm level 5, is the game dramatically improving in the next levels?

It's far worse than tiny tower.

I noticed improvement at lvl7 as I had better planes I could forget about for a while

 

[Chopper]

Now that all 10 of my fleet are Class 2, I'm not seeing much of a reason to keep any sub-blue airports at all. In Europe all Class 2 planes have the range to get between blue and reds, as far as I can tell. Fuck Class 1 planes, yo.

You'll need them to complete all the events

 

[Chopper]

Ah yes. Well, the airports are cheap enough not worry about them, and I have a huge store of planes I've removed from service in my hangar. Now I just need an event to come anywhere near me!

 

[lefantome]

How can i automate the flights? They last only few minutes and they don't make me earn anything

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Been playing this today. Nice way to spend a hangover work day

 

[toythatkills]

You can't automate flights. Longer flights take longer and earn more coins though.

 

[strem]

Does anyone know what the mile range is for the trip from London to NY? I don't have the option of getting the peerjet yet so I'm looking at the birch craft. It has a 1500 mile range

 

[Tunesmith]

Around level 7-8 you'll start getting flights that last 1h+.

 

[lefantome]

When i buy a par, how can i imstall it on the plane?

 

[toythatkills]

When i buy a par, how can i imstall it on the plane?

You don't. You buy three different parts and then build a new plane from scratch.

There's an option to "build" in the Parts menu.

 

[GreenCyder]

When i buy a par, how can i imstall it on the plane?

You can only build planes. Buy 3 plane parts and build the plane in the "part " menu

Just reached Brisbane

My stats have been stuck for about 12 hours now. It shows that I only made 2 deliveries and I see the same crew total that you do.

 

[Minamu]

Any good tutorials out there? Or helpful tips in general? Also, can't I make my airplanes fly around automatically? It'd be nice if the game sort of played itself if I forget to check my phone every two minutes :S

 

[DigitalDevil]

Yeah it has been out of whack for a while now. I've done at least 20 more Brisbane jobs since it last updated.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I've had to close Australia for my sanity for this game. I'd pushed nearly 900 jobs there in 2 days

I'm now made base in Europe and heading out to the Middle East. So I'm enjoying the game at a slightly less intense rate.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Just reached Brisbane

Get to work! We are almost failing to #6
