    Oh my. Auto loading and unloading is a dream. It just took the one irritation away from my sequoia plan. I can check to see if I have enough people/cargo to a certain city in like 2 seconds now instead of having to scroll up and down the list clicking or counting!

    downloading it now :)

    I've been waiting for it for a few days now, playing only once or twice day
    got a bit bored filling up the 17 spaces in my 6 Cloudliners lol
    Too bad for all the lost upgrades and stats until now for all the stored planes... Well...
    It's really great to see devs updating so quickly and reacting positively on the feedbacks from gamers
    Thks Nimblebit (and NimbleTim of course) :)

    Guys. Should I cash in all my Fogbusters for 3 Tetra-M's? (Or whatever you think would be best to buy in the Tetra series. I have 7 airports.)

    What should I do here?

    All thanks in advanced.

    (Re-post since I got no answer and Im bankrupt.)

    Oh, and thanks for the easy load/unload Tim.

    No mystery parts for this event. At least one of the tiers need to be the full plane to trigger them.

    Thanks.
    Second - we had one but ran out of room on the menu and took it out. I have been toying with adding it back but am unsure where to put it.
    Third - Pretty much.
    Last - We only keep the event history for a week so I can't look it up.

    I was really expecting it, and it was kind of a logical update, BUT that's where you can see the talent : in the flawless implementation in the gameplay interface.

    Too bad, my iPad was loaded of 1Go EA games for the summer and I'm going to play only PP :)

    Nice! I hope it works out for you! The load/unload update certainly makes it FAR less painful to use.
    Scroll down to you first unload, unload all, hold your first unload, see if you have enough guys/cargo to fill, if not, unload all, scroll down to your second possible city. SO MUCH EASIER than scrolling through looking for 1 last piece of cargo, not finding it, having to unload everything you already loaded while checking then hoping that the next city has enough.

    It also makes dealing with Cloudliners far less irritating.

    NimbleTim: some very nice features in the 1.0.4 update! I like the red "GRND 29M" in the ETA column for grounded flights, and of course, auto-unload is great. But I do have some questions about achievement related bugs that I hoped would be fixed in this release:

    1. To unlock the Regional Headquarters achievement, do I need to close Jakarta and open it up again? (I presume that's the lone 10M city in Oceania.)
    2. I've started and completed 3-4 New York-London flights after the update, and the Transatlantic achievement hasn't come back again.
    3. My People Power progress is stuck at 98%. I went offline when I had ~9850 passengers delivered, crossed over 10,000 and got the award, and then re-connected to wi-fi after that. Some (all?) of my achievements and stats got reset back a few hours (despite that I wasn't using iCloud and only have one device) and since then it has remained at 98%. (And I'm over 22,300 passengers delivered now.)

    If I press RESET AWARDS on the settings page, will all achievements re-trigger, or will I have to start some of them from scratch? (It will be a pain to have to do Nome-Wellington, Easter Island, Punta Arenas, Barrow, Tiksi, and Mahajanga all over again!!)

    Oh, and one other enhancement request for 1.0.5... Could you please allow six character plane names instead of just five? I'd really like to use names like LAXHNL or LHRDME for some dedicated routes. I suppose I could figure out something that would work, but I'm familiar with many real-life airport codes, so that system would work well for me.

    Thanks again!
