    No good for me though - I have a mix of class 2 and 3 that travel across the atlantic! I'll just have to put with this hour long thunder storm!

    Hello all,

    I am currently Level 18 with 5 Pearjets, 6 Birchcrafts and 4 Mohawks. Maybe I have come to a bottleneck of the game. I don't feel interested anymore. I need to keep scrolling on the airport to search for jobs while I feel so annoying about that. Maybe I am not a manic in PP. :p

    Yesterday I started the LA -> Beijing route with my Pearjets. Supply to Beijing is ok, where I have Tokyo, Shanghai, even Bangkok these Class 3 airport for feeder job. But I am not sure how about the LA side? I bought Mexico City, but rarely have jobs to Beijing to feed LA. I need to keep refreshing and collect passengers from LA. Is that something I do wrong?

    Try running New York to Beijing instead, using LA and Chicago to feed it with layovers. Equal either side then - both got 2 class 3's feeding them.

    Equinox, Birchcraft, or Pearjet.

    Of which can do a fully upgraded Transatlantic flight from Madrid to what Im thinking, the East American coast Class 2 airports?

    PLEASE RESPOND WITH AS MANY IDEAS AS POSSIBLE.

    Thanks.

    Pearjet 3rd upgrade can do NY to London
    So Boston if you want 2 class airport but I can't assure you it can reach Madrid but London yes.

    to nimblebit :

    whenever i rename my plane in hangar, close the app...
    open it again, the planes' name back to normal (PLXXX)...

    is this a bug ? anyone have the same problem ?
    there is no problem for the active planes... just the ones in hangar...

    Via which city are you guys sending your planes and akpak specifically, your Kangaroo, to San Jose?

    I only have a few Class 2 and 3 cities in North America, on the East and West coast only: Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles on the West and New York, Boston, Detroit on the East.

    My Kangaroos can't reach San Jose, even if I were to upgrade them, and my Class 2 planes can't land there due to class restrictions.

    Miami or Mexico City?

    I unlocked miami and houston which help me get to san jose and i also unlocked guatemala which is very helpful for getting san jose jobs done. I usually travel from the east using miami and from the west using houston and to leave san jose I use guatemala.

    Pretty sure I used Mohawks full range upgrade from New York. Know you were asking about kangaroos but just a thought

    My Kangaroo hops from Los Angeles to Mexico City to San Jose.
    The Kangaroo won't reach from Los Angeles.
    I load up from Los Angeles because it has a bigger job list (city is fully upgraded) compared to Mexico City.

    I bought Mexico City specifically to participate in this Global Event ... do you have 20,503 spare coins to buy it?
    Maybe you can buy Chihuaha (5,205 coins) and Oaxaca (2,325 coins) instead, these are both class 1 cities.

    Edited to add: Your fully upgraded (3x range) Kangaroo should be able to make it from New York to San Jose.

    Hi guys! Another addicted soul :) I need pls some advise :) I finally managed to reach lvl 14 and managed to get my first pearjet, which, WOW was quite steep :) and now I have ran out of bux...how do you guys deal with this? Do you have a dedicated plane for example collecting bux through your net?
    More...I have 12 airports with a mix of a few class 1, several class 2 and some class 3 ranging from London up to Tehran, should I close all my class 1 (Lyon, Amsterdam, Munich) and concentrate on class 2 and 3?
    And...I have several Mohawks, birches, two kangaroos, 2 equinox and one pearjet, how do you see this? Anything that can help me maximise or improve?

    Thanks!!! :)

    I have 7 planes that run along picking up decent bux jobs and either dropping them off for another plane, or just taking them themselves. I make a good few hundred a day, but I am lvl 28.

    At your kind of level, it does feel like you're not getting very far but soon you'll realise you are. You can't really go wrong as such - as long as you're filling planes with passengers / cargo, and picking up bux when possible then you're doing ok.

    The only reason it feels like you're doing more later on in the game, is because things are so expensive to buy (1mil for another plane slot, 73 bux per cloudliner part) - so essentially, the same proportion of my income goes towards upgrading, it's just in real terms i'm earning more.

    The things that i'd like to see updated / fixed:

    1. 'Unload All' button
    2. Stop the white banners at the top - or tap to remove (instead of tap to go to that plane)
    3. When you've bought an item in the market, don't scroll all teh way back to the top
    4. When you receive a notification, don't go back to the plane flying in the air - stay on the screen I was on!

    Ok so i need some advice, My income seems to be slowing down slightly. I currently own the following airports

    Istanbul stop off
    Karachi and Delhi Feeding each other (kangaroo-M)
    Chengdu stop off
    Seoul and Tokyo Feeding each other (kangaroo-M)

    My flight paths are
    London To Tokyo return (Pearjet-M x2, Fogbuster-M)

    I haven't received my Santiago reward yet. I'm on the toucharcade crew. I flew quite a few jobs there.
