Pocket Planes |OT| ...and don't call me Shirley (iOS, Universal) #GAFAIR crew

- Start date
The "jobs" are probably the global events. The other numbers are the other teams and how many they've completed.
EDIT:
The events button is the probable location of the jobs.
Unfortunately you have to build an airport in these cities to even be able to score points at these events. That's why we're working on developing in separate areas as much as possible.

Apparently doens't work with the iPod Touch 2G since it doesn't feature iOS5. Too bad considering that I loved to play Tiny Tower. :-/

Oh okay, got it.
I just purchased Sydney airport, woowoo.

As far as I know it's only the current event under Flight Crew. I could be wrong though.
The current mission is Calgary. You need to build a terminal there and do deliver people/packages that go to Calgary. The people/package turn blue on the jobs list if it's part of the mission. You get a point for delivering stuff there and it goes towards the flight crew so we can get that phat loot
Yea, I misunderstood the jobs as well. It's under the Flight Crew tab. Sorry!
EDIT: Plus, the jobs last for a couple days which gives you enough time to build your way out there if you haven't already. I'm almost there...
Yea, work as efficiently as you can in your area. That way when a job comes out by you, you'll be able to dominate it.
How can you tell what the next missions are going to be?
Events tab
At least I hope it's the next one, lol. Or else I just wasted a slot. I think I did. I guess there are other events that go along with the global event?
The way I interpreted their system is the Events tab has both the current Global Event that adds points, in our case, to #GAFAir, and in addition to that additional events that can be completed for something that doesn't add to your Global Event score. I don't think Hilo is going to rotate up, but just expire in 9 hours.
Black dots are sparsely populated for jobs, blue is the mid-range, and red is heavy traffic.
Yeah, just saw the timer going down on the other events. I'm gonna fly a plane out there to see what happens. So I guess if you're not near the global event, check the events page and see if you're near the other ones
Oh... I see it now..
I have three out of five cities that have black dots. Damnit Australia!
I have airports in Iqaluit and Nuuk, both with 0.0M population, haha.
In other news, LEVEL 6!
Making my way out to Calgary now. Or not. Even my longest range plane comes just short. I'll have to wait until level 7.

does this game require a constant online connection?
Not that I would imagine, no.
I dont think so, the only online thing about it is flight crews

Ditto. I keep clicking the link hoping it will work...
Bern is closed because of a snow storm. It would be cool if those events would happy simultaneously across all games.
No bonuses? Money? Cash? That's lame. What's the purpose of the additional events then?

Yeah Bern is closed for me right now too, but I got a few jobs in before the snowstorm started.
Yeah, no bonuses that I saw.

I set up iCloud and made sure to turn on the app backup thing, then did a manual backup. I ran the app in case Gamecenter was doing something and then synced to PC. Then I downloaded the US version in iTunes and synced again without deleting the old one. Seemed to just replace it.

Not surprising, market penetration of 2GTouch/3GPhone is now below 15%, supporting it is annoying to code, and the game would still run like ass.
I'm nervous to do that since I don't sync apps on iTunes. When I check the box, it gives me this:
Another reset. This game badly needs an update to fix the notification system because the delay to get in to the game and the crashes seem to be the only thing that keeps resetting my damn game. Was up to level 6 then, but 3rd time is a charm and not going to touch this again until an update hits.
This seems to be the biggie. Touching the screen any time while it loads may cause it to wipe. Don't be an impulsive twat like me and let the game load before touching the screen!
Maybe I'll start it up again later tonight while lying in bed.

I decided to start in Japan. If I buy an airport somewhere else, how does that work? Do I need to buy a new plane for that location or do I need to be able to reach it to use it?
