yes, but with it being temporary it doesn't really seem worth it

a developer of very popular and awesome games
Perhaps you had a lull yesterday or the day before?WTF is up with my graph?
Pretty sure I have a higher revenue, longer flights, and more flights than when I first started.

Anyone not take the baby route across the Atlantic? Seattle -- LA -- Mexico City -- Lima -- Rio de Janeiro -- Recife -- Lagos -- Cairo. all on a fleet of Birchwoods
This game is kind of winding down for me....

My graph is the same, a bunch of peaks and valleys. Haven't had an off day yet.
That's what I thought yesterday then it went even lower today. I guess it could be that since the weekend is over, but I thought I was still doing pretty good. Guess we'll see.
I'm about to build in Lagos for the same route. You have to upgrade the Birchcraft to make it though right?
So I've now established a path from LA to Tokyo with a fleet of Birchcrafts and I'm kind of wondering what else there will be to do after establishing the longest Red-Red route.
I still want to hop from NY to London (currently going through South America), but aside from that it seems like I will just be upgrading airports.

You can hop from Recife(blue).

woo. expanded all the way to shanghai.
Am surprised that I'm digging the birch now. Can go long distances and is relatively cheap on the fuel.
I think i need to expand my little fleet of 2 birch that cover all of europe and asia now though lol.
Why must expanding fleet cost so much

Get bigger and more planes? More red and blue airports? Get all the achievements?
What is "endgame" though? Tiny Tower for me was getting all floors. Get all airports and planes?
I didn't think the Birchcraft had the range? I checked the circle and it didn't quite make it. Perhaps I was doing Rio though and not Recife.

All planes for sure, but I dunno that all airports is really feasible. Seems like you'd need to be very high level.

Not 1 single upgrade needed. 3k+ profit per trip, less if I'm moving bux. I'm mapping a route from 1 corner of the globe to the other corner. Once the achievement is made i won't see reason to continue.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but one thing that is genius with this game is that hands-on management time goes down as you progress. In the beginning, flights are so quick that you could be actively doing something very often and you miss out by waiting for too long before checking in. Later on, longer flights mean there's no real benefit in checking in so often. As your interest in staring at the screen dwindles, you also don't have to check in as often. Genius!
Just connected NY to LA, now working towards a straight transatlantic flight. Also #39 on the GafAir leaderboards.

Do the stats (Profit/Hour) on the "logs" screen reflect the total flight time of your planes? Not just the last flight, right?
Despite being 1 ton heavier, the Aeroeagle has a lower fuel cost than the Pearjet since it's 52 MPH slower. I can't imagine I'd ever upgrade the speed on any of my planes, since I think the flight times are too short as it is. Better to upgrade (lower) the weight for a permanent discount on fuel cost.
Ups it's allotted jobs and layovers. It does not change its class.

We're no longer in contention for 5th, they've doubled our score. We may be able to hang on to 6th
Is the graph real time, or is each slice like a certain "timeframe"?

.double post.
Hopefully the next global will be more accessible. It'll be fun to see what we can do with more of us hitting it.
I believe the chart updates daily, and seems to update around the time of day your originally started playing. Might be nice to have some marks on it or something.
Edit: It does have marks along the bottom.
Ah. Thanks.

I dont think it is Wired - Harsh Review. I cannot see many IGN mentions, Rllmuk is having fun, but seems around #10. Giant Bomb is not trying. I do not think Reddit thas a group. Twit is now playing much either. i don't think it is Kotaku is Joystiq. I cannot be bothered to search the other Touch sites though.

Yeah, same here. Was fun for a few days but sadly it lacks any depth or challenge.
If you scrap it, it'll turn back into parts so you can just buy a C or P body and rebuild it

It a management style game - if you don't like that then it is hard to like this.
Try to work your way up a few levels, and see does something click.

yeah... at lvl 16 now and expanded all the way to shanghai.
Beginning to lose interest. Probably due to it being a way bigger hassle managing all this stuff every half an hr or so.
The cost of expanding your fleet is pretty damn high, and the cost of new better planes are getting really high.
Probably should just take a break from this for a week or 2 lol.

Isn't it more like a Farmville style game which looks a bit like a management style game?
Nope, that's about it.
doh. Think I've scuppered myself with the birchcraft. It won't go across my 'great north circle' from NY to London because its class 2. Any other options, or do I just have to stick to class 1 planes until I can make the hop directly? Seems a waste to have such a good plane limited to local travel
edit: think I'll use it for west-east cost long distance US travel, bring people to NY for travel on to Europe. Take advantage of the range.

Yeah I still dig it but I'm feeling it too, yesterday I didn't check on it as much. I'm still playing it but it's not having the same pull over me, which isn't really a bad thing. I don't know, with Tiny Tower it was easy to have a clear final objective (building all floors, + the added challenge of having all bitizens being dream jobbers), but I'm still not sure what the "carrot on a stick" is here for me. Buying all planes and/or airports (is such a thing even possible?) isn't rewarding because there are a lot of outright useless ones, while in TT every new store and apartment was worth it. After the first transatlantic flight it sort of feels like endgame already. Maybe I'll focus on the achievements.
edit: was checking my achievements list and the Transatlantic one didn't register for some reason, even though I got the in-game pop-up when I first did it.

#CAG is also doing very well, they are around 10th place.
The Colored dots represent the destinatin airport level.
Gray is level 1
Blue is level 2
Red is level 3
It really matters once you start mixing the classes of your planes, a plane can not land at an airport with a lower level than its class. I.E. a class 2 plane cant land in a Level 1 airport.
I finally bought my first Class 2 plane. Love the distance I can cover, but man, I wish there were more jobs for the other big cities. Would be nice if it didn't show the jobs for cities you couldn't visit as well unless you selected "All."
One cargo item from Paris to Tehran still nets a loss of 183 and if I take a second single item to Mumbai after that I've only made 101 profit in 33 minutes.

I still haven't a clue about layovers. They scare the hell out of me.
