Get to work! We are almost failing to #6
The leaderboards haven't updated for hours, we could be anywhere at this point!

I laughed really hard at this for some reason.

I opened up Brisbane and Sydney...now what? Do I just run stuff back and forth till the event starts? Will stuff just show up in the market then?

This is terrible news!
Started in Japan as my base of operations and opened brisbane and a handful of cities to cycle within that region and actually help #GAFAir.
For the last day or two everyone in Japan wants to go to AU and AU wants to go to Japan! wtf. I'm flying on < 100 coin profits on solo passenger flights now. @#$)%*#.
That's probably our tagline: Our airline is just like your taxi cab back home.

The events already started. Yeah just ferry stuff back and forth so you get stuff to Brisbane and help towards the mission.
ARGH why is never the part I want in stock
I don't get why this game is popular.. I like it ok, but the f2p qualities really stink... Do the expect us to just keep staring at the screen watching bucks fly by... Feels like such a waste of time.. I'd rather pay them money for a pay version with a lil sim strategy to it... This is just too lite and too boring... Love the art and where it's going, just want it to be more in depth and not have the f2p elements...

Crew rewards + leveling up + trips that yield bux = how to earn them. Flyby bux are just a bonus!
E: Also, the game becomes a lot more management later on. Once you've got 20-60 minute flight routes figured out, you play for 5-10 minutes to sort out routes and layovers and let the pilots do the rest.

If I get a trip from Seattle to Brisbane that gives bux the reward is somewhere around 10. So, as you level up it is actually way easier to get the bux if that is what you are trying to earn.

I think they expect you to turn the game off and come back later when your planes are flying
Ian/Dave - in the next update can layovers be moved to the top of the list of jobs? With a lot of airports they're actually getting quite hard to keep track of because they're going to different places and appear all throughout the job list!

The pride of my Air_Strikes fleet, fully upgraded:
It's quite fun managing the routes for this plane to try and get the most out of it.
I only own red and blue cities now. Trying to get mostly 4 seaters too.

Does this work out well? I'm probably going to close the only 2 black cities I own as they generate shit for jobs.
It's working out pretty well for me. The only downside is the inability to take part in regular events, but until someone unveils some ridiculous prizes for visiting Kiev 1000 times, I'm not caring.

Definitely for where I am. I'll only ever open up a black now for a Global event. In fact I own 6 Red/4 Blue.

I don't really see the point of blues either if you're just looking to maximise profits. Reds all the way and then whatever you need to join them up if your planes can't reach.
Katana_Strikes
Member
Yeah I can get rid of a few more of my blues once I get some more Birchcrafts to replace some older planes.
Woop! My first flight over 4k
I'm not getting rid of my blue airports until I start getting the Class 1 planes.

only level 9 but I have only gone for lv2 and 3 cities, they just seem better overall for stock and passengers plus most are within flight of each other without using smaller airports to refuel.

It's a shame you don't get 25% extra Bux in the bonus as well. That would make it extra sweet.
25% of 4 is an extra Bux, Nimblebit

They give it to you in equivalent coins.It's a shame you don't get 25% extra Bux in the bonus as well. That would make it extra sweet.

Ah really? All is well then.
It's much cheaper buying the parts separately to build planes, plus you can upgrade them with Bux to make em faster etc.

Click on the magnifying glass when your plane is landed, and you'll get an option to upgrade the plane.
And yeah, the parts make it cheaper to buy new planes.
Me too a 5%. Improvement of range is useless. I opened airports in the usa but i have only a plane capable of doing that lol, passing to iceland and greenland.
I'm planning to open at bern for the jobs, do you think it worths? I have started in germany and i have all the airports nearby.
I hope jobs rewards are bucks

So what determine cost of flight?
I assume weight and speed?
Can't seem to find a practical use of pearjets outside of going from NY to London. You just don't make any profit unless you pack that plane tight and go for long.

I've been using them explicitly between Sydney/Melbourne, and just shuttling people to them for fly (and wait till it's full). It's low margin, but it still works.

What do you guys lean towards, M, P or C planes? Or a decent mix?
I'm starting to collect a few Birchcraft planes now to get out of Australia, if anyone wants to donate parts, lets do it! Any Pearjet bits would be tops, too.

I've only got M planes.
Leaderboards have updated, GAFair is sixth, but closer to seventh than fifth.

You have to make your way to Brisbane and deliver stuff there.

Ah, gotcha, that's not the global event. Things that contribute to GAFair will always be written in blue text.
The other events are personal events to you, and there's no leaderboard for them. You just complete them to complete them by delivering people to that place while the event's running.

Given that 10 is at 5895, I don't think you need to worry other than getting the 5 delivery...

Anyone know the distance between Los Angeles and Honolulu? I'm at level 12-want to know if I have a plane that can make it.
