I'm finding my birchcraft is making a bit more money, but I'm trying to fill them both up for the 25% bonus, and if I cant get the bonus, I fill up the rest with jobs going to cities along the way.
I'm sure you could do it with Aeroeagles, they should be able to make that same, or at least a similar, route. And then when you level up you can phase some of the Eagles out for Sequoias if you want.
I just checked and Aeroeagles can do that exact route - Rio to Kinshasa to Bangalore to Tokyo - without any range upgrades.
Pezmage - several weeks ago, I read your original post and copied you, realized by myself that it took a lot of attention after using it to gain about 10 levels, then made the same type of adjustment as you just described for the reasons you described. Then I approached level 30, having achieved many of the games "awards", and realized that I have essentially "completed the game". So now I only check in twice a day to send 1 or 2 planes. It's weird going from totally addicted and time consuming to casual. I don't want to get much higher than level 30 because I am holding out hope that the devs are working on some sort of update to get me back playing regularly. This is/was an amazing game and I can't wait for their next game, right now it's going to sit beside Tiny Tower in a "completed" folder.
I am one of the devs for Pocket Planes. We have been keeping an eye on this thread along with a couple other discussions. But have just been pretty busy with the launch. I can try and answer the questions anyone has.
Just wondering if anyone has found out what happens when you clock up the normal events to 1000. I'm currently on 250 as my maximum out of 100 on the Mime festival. I guess you get a prize or something, but has anyone achieved this yet??!
what you almost have every city at level 30, when they only allow you to purchase one city per level. I am no way giving up on this game until I have every single city.Although I only give my planes 3 jobs a day.
if I don't have any SEQUOIAS yet, do ou recommend getting those still or waiting for either the Cyclones or Cloudliners to become available? And if you do, which would would you pick?
Unfortunately nothing right now. In the next update (waiting on approval) there will be a bux reward. You can get close but I would wait until the update to finish any of them.
I wish I would've planned a real strategy. I just found that expanding my range made me more money so now I have 24 airports (only level 2 & 3 cities) from Honolulu to Sydney with only 14 planes (1 Equinox, 4 Birchcrafts, 4 Pearjets, 5 Aeroeagles, & 1 Fogbuster), it's basically a sprawled-out unorganized free-for-all. But it works for now. The most annoying thing is that my Equinox & Birchcrafts have to cut across South America & Africa to get across the Atlantic. I'll probably replace them with Sequoias when I unlock them, hopefully on level 22. Edit: For some reason my Transatlantic achievement never showed up in Game Center.
Thoughts on the Starship? Such a rare plane but it really only hurts you! The ONLY way I've found to make a profit is London/Paris which only nets a $111 profit. Everything else loses money, and loses HUGE over long distances. Shouldn't long distance be the allure of using it?
It is a starship, fuel is not cheap. It is designed to be a fast VIP/Event plane for people that care about speed over profit. On the other end of the spectrum it is imposible to loose coins using the hot air ballon, it might just take a couple hours to get there.
You could work my sequoias only plan with Cyclones, I'm sure. I don't know about using cloudliners though, I don't think there would ever be enough guys to fill up the 17 slots on the cloudliner in one of the outside cities... Sometimes I can't make the Sequoia's 10 due to the 5/5 split on the Ms. It doesn't hurt so much on the Sequoia because it's dirt cheap to fly, but on the Cloudliner I can see those costs adding up ~real~ fast.
Hi NimbleTim, Will the next update add some useful features im the plane loading/unloading area? I'd really like to have an "Unload all" button for my feeder planes, it's a bit boring to scroll through all the bitizens in a fully upgraded class 3 airport to unload diverse destinations. And maybe sthg to load everybody/cargo to a specific place at once? Just saying with Cloudliners it's becoming very long to do this! Great game Vic
Tap and hold an unload button will unload all. Tap and hold a load button and it will auto load items that want to go to the same destination from that point in the list (it will loop around when it hits the end).
Great! Thks I think i saw in the thread you'll fix the lost upgrades and flight history for the planes put in the hangar?
