    I got 3 Huey parts and 105 bux for the last event, not bad :D
    Also nice to see Nimblebit reducing the difference between Top 10 and the winner prizes, because TA is unbeatable.

    I just bought a pearjet (got lvl 14) and also doing a looong stretch to help with the current event! You guys rock!

    My question / what bugs me is this: I upgraded my Pearjet's weight and speed 3 times - to 15% boos, and I checked the cost to an airport before and after - it didn't changed the cost, is it OK? It seems like a bug to me, but maybe it takes some time to change...dunno, did you guys tried to check before/after the weight upgrade if the costs really go down?

    Should I close in Europe and go back to America, build up, and then Trans-Atlantic. I have 6 planes. 3 Class 1. 3 Class 2. Ill get a plane that can cross over with good capacity ratio.

    Pearjet range upgrade 3 can take you across, London - New York

    Here you can check other ranges to know what planes can take you where you want to go:

    If you're already in europe, it seems a bit pointless to close up, go to america, only to open up again in europe later on? America is no better than Europe

    You want somebody to GIVE you one of the most valuable planes in the game, for nothing? Earn it yourself

    lol no kidding eh?

    Plus I don't think one should operate class 3 plane at lvl10. The profit rate might be too little for lvl10.

    He'd be waiting for a heck of a long time to fill planes

    I know myself and others have mentioned this before but....

    CLOUD syncing, is anyone using it?

    I saw awhile back that somebody worked out you need to backup icloud and then restore on your 'other' device for the games to sync, but I'd like some clarification;

    main game on ipad... means I need to backup icloud from there, then restore to iphone, right?

    If I then continue playing on my iphone, will the ipad version stay in sync always, or will it require backup/restore every time?

    Thanks in advance

    To NimbleBit: Wishlist items for the next update:

    1) Make the map warp around so aircraft can fly from the US west coast to Asia via the Pacific.
    2) An "Unload All" button which will unload everything from the aircraft with one tap.
    3) In the Airpedia, include the level at which an aircraft becomes available.
    4) In the market, include filters which display only level 1/2/3 aircraft & parts.

    Thanks!

    Hey fellow Pocket Plane gamers!

    I'm new here =P I saw that Toucharcade was the top flight crew and so I joined it (obviously) for the bonuses. But don't worry, I'm not just freeloading it like many of the people, I've been in the Top 100 for the last three events lol

    I've been reading this thread for a whole now, but I've finally joine to make this comment!

    Anyways, was the reward for the last event (the one in Northwest Africe) glitched for anyone else? The reward screen popped up a total o 7 times for me, and now I have 240 bux and 7 Huey parts!!! I'm not complaining though =P

    Unfortunately I received 6 Huey controls and 1 Huey engine. Does anyone want to trade controls for a body? My GC is Sgt_Ludby, just like my username here.

    And is the Huey even that good? I was a little underwhelmed when I looked at it's stats.

    Exchange all 48 bux for coins to open up a few new airports? I can open 14. I have 4 open. Berlin, St. Petersberg, Barcelona, Baghdad, and Hyderabad. Trying to get a route from LA to Tokyo and all that jazz.

    Plus the ability to turn flights around if youve made a mistake.

    I agree with most of these, but there is a problem with #1. If the map wrapped around like a true globe, you wouldn't make nearly as much going from one end to the other. Instead of LA to Tokyo being 3000 coins or whatever it is (I'm not that far yet), the game would calculate it as being only 2000 or so since you could go the other way, no?

    True!

    Adding:

    1) The dropdown list for each airport should be based on flight fee, than airport name, than Cargo or Passenger. Coz sometimes, with same distance, the two airport will cross with each other makes it difficult to select. While to sort by the order cargo or passenger, the reason is clear, especially for flight like Mixed.
