Just started playing, and I got the North East / Canada starter area, as well as Casablanca and Cordoba. My planes are as listed below. Griffon-C Wallaby-P Bearclaw-P Wallaby-M Navigator-C I have roughly 2.7k coins and 6 Bux. I am level 3 (Almost 4). Would anyone please give me some tips on how to get more money through my available stuff? I am open to any changes to my setup. GC- Jai127 Thanks in advance!
At the beginning, open many gray airports within the range of your planes, but slowly close them as you approach 10 and open blue and red ones Save your bux because the planes at your level aren't that good. You'll get 3-4 seaters around 6 and 7 I think. With coins, don't advertise or upgrade right now, save it for blue/red airports later on.
Passengers disappearing in the air... I've been experiencing a strange bug in Pocket Planes: my passengers are disappearing from my planes Bermuda Triangle-style! I set all my flight paths and my planes take off, but as soon as I exit the game and reopen it they're all gone: all my planes are still flying but empty. For example, 4 passengers from Bangkok to Melbourne (38 min flight), I close the game 2 minutes into the flight, open it again immediately and the plane is empty! I've lost a fortune because the flights cost me coins to operate but I don't receive any revenue when they land because there's no one to pay! I am Level 13, started in Australia and now have a network that goes through a lot of south east Asia. The game is basically unplayable now, has anyone else found anything like this happening? NOTE: I just installed today's update but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Absolutely there is. Making profit in this game is all about gaining those "Full Plane/Same Destination" trip bonuses. Each airport has a limited number of job slots. If those job slots are having to be randomly generated for 20 different airports, you will NOT see an easy "cluster" of jobs. As an extreme example, if I only had two airports (London and NY), then EVERY job in London would be asking to go to NY, and vice versa. Which means *every* single trip I'd be making the 25% extra coin bonus. So yes. Once you start getting Class 3 airports, close those Class 1s.
Does anyone want a bearclaw p engine, navigator m controls, wallaby p engine, or wallaby c engine? I'll take an airvan p engine or controls!!!
I don't like the mixed planes much. I feel like I get the flight bonuses more with all cargo or all people! They all have higher profit for me in logs too
If you're going to go for P or C, pick one or the other. The only advantage it provides is that all layovers will be of the same usable type. Otherwise I would tend to favor M over a mix of P and C, which would require monitoring to make sure you use them in appropriate ratios and locations relative to one another.
Like only P or only C? If I chose all P it would never pop up with cargo and the airports would be full of only people?
That makes sense. However, you also lose out on half the potential cash payments by not servicing either of them and cash can always be turned into 500 coins. I think the max is 10 cash or 5000 coins? I feel like the reason my M-planes tend to have lower profits is because they're often ferrying the random cash pickups instead of going for the bonuses.
Hey guys could anyone tell me what a mystery part is? I've seen it come up a couple times in this thread. Could you also tell me how to get them? Thanks in advance.
Right now I have my entire airline focused on funneling supplies into Casablanca. I have three Kangaroo planes taxiing supplies between Algiers and Casablanca and a number of Birchcraft flying people and cameras into Algiers from Tokyo and Beijing. I use Karachi, Cairo and Riyadh as way points. Let me tell you, the profit is staggering. Not only am I helping with the event, but I am making 3500-5000 per flight into Casablanca. But Algiers is log jammed with layovers at the moment. I wanted to make Cairo the launching point, but Algiers is closer. When the event wraps up, I will pack up and close Casablanca and move it off to somewhere else. There is some awesome strategy in this game!
No, airports would still have both types of jobs. However, since all our planes would fly the same type of jobs, any layovers left by you at airports could always be picked up by any of your other planes. It's not really a big deal. The point is to have fun., sl build what you like I'm just considering theoretical optimization of profits. You're still missing some potential for bux just by having P and C planes, even a mix, every time one type is at an airport without the other type. IOW if you don't just fly a bunch of planes to the same couple airports, the missed bux opportunities are the same with mixed P and C or just one or the other.
Really in need of: - Birchcraft-P - Birchcraft-C NEED REAL BAD THESE KANGAROOS ARE KILLING ME.. Please send my way if your parting ways with or can offer the help! Thanks a bunch Can never have too many friends add me! GC: ^ Douglas ^
Thank you Thanks for the quick response. I can see how that would be more cost effective. The Birchmarks have good range I'm assuming?
Anyone tried to play on multiple devices? Even after today's patch, when I switch to my iPod touch (currently playing on my iPad)' I don't seem to continue where I was on my iPad, but instead, start from scratch.
When we win the Casablanca event, I do not plan on making a Huey. So, I would like to trade it for a complete plane ( like a Mohawk-M or a Airvan-M.) if your interested, reply ASAP. My GC is Jai127
Yea I worked it out, Go to settings force iCloud to back up everything, Go to second device reinstall pocket planes, First load will go up from iCloud. ..it's very exploitable now though, if you have 3 iPads but I'm not explaining how because I don't even do it myself... But it's purely logical. It's one step back in favour of exploiters but two steps forward for those who want a more stable game. MUCH better patch though, before this my devices would not synch this game AT ALL! Love the fact the map saves the zoom level btw.
