    Hah. Yeah, that does suck. Glad I didn't know that earlier. I agree, that sounds logical from a programming standpoint.

    At this point only reseting the awards will fix it as the cached the completed awards on the device so they don't get sent to Game Center more than once. If you are offline when an achievement is earned it should register it when you connect again.

    We are looking into ways to re-sync the achievements with Game Center which would probably fix your issue but I don't really have a timeline as to when that would be released.

    Mine seem to be coming in really lopsided as well. I got nothing but controls at first, now I have almost nothing but engines.

    Trade, my man, it got me five already :)

    IMHO, to be fair to Nimblebit and all their staff, you should spend a few dollars/pounds/euros/whatever to buy 200 bux. This will give you a good start and shows appreciation for an excellent game.

    Just my twopence worth...

    Im finally at a Level 28 and can buy a Cloudliner. So, heres what Im thinking...

    - Save up until I have A LOT of bux to build a Cloudliner and do the 25% bonus + feeding.

    - Just get a fleet of Aeroeagles and call it even.

    - Get about three or more Clouliner-M's and just do whatever with the 25% bonus. (No feeding.)

    - Buy at least one Cloudliner to replace my as designated leader of my Aeroeagle fleet.

    Which one to do? I'd really appreciate the help advice. :)

    I hated the Cloudliner. Unless you're able to have two Cloudliners running (one P and one C, which are terribly hard to fill), they aren't worth having. If you do fill them and you're using an M class plane, you're taking away 12 passengers, but only 5 cargo, which leaves the city terribly unbalanced for other flights. At that point, you're either sending out half-full planes or you're waiting for the jobs to refresh, neither of which is very efficient.

    I've been doing great with my fleet of Aeroeagle Ms and Cyclone Ms. Both of these planes split evenly the number of passengers and cargo that are at a particular city. I've not had any trouble filling the Cyclones. I have 10 of them in the air at all times. By the time they reach their destination, the jobs have refreshed and I'm able to fill them back up and send them on their way. Some people prefer the Sequoias, but I hated how slow they were. I prefer to sacrifice some coins to fly the less efficient Cyclones and get more routes completed.

    7 full blimps plus 7 bodies & 8 controls.
    And that's all from not trying very hard, not chasing down mystery parts at all airports. I just did my regular jobbing and picked them up if they happened to show up.
    Havent had a chance to try it out, no free plane slots. :(

    Hi, I don't post here much, but would like to say that I have had a fair bit of fun and decent coin earning from my Cloudliners.

    When I hit level 28, I started buying Cloudliner parts and when I had enough, built 8 of them, 4 P and 4 C versions. I run them between Rio/Sao Paulo/ Buenes and Beijing/Seoul/Tokyo, with 8 Aeroeagles as feeders (4 P and 4 C aswell).

    I found that eagles could gather enough layovers to keep the Cloudliners in the air almost all the time and with 25% bonus every flight (it wasn't hard). When I added another 4 feeders, I could often keep my hubs full at 60 layovers, with feeders parked waiting to unload.

    Rushing the feeders around is hectic but I prefer this type of more intense play style.

    Alright, got enough parts to build all the blimps I could ever want, and I have 2 engines left over, will trade for Sequoia M controls or engines.

    Gc: Symph0ny

    Edit: All gone.

    You've got PM.

    On a side note, I just crossed the 1,000 London delivery mark (1,018 to be exact) and I am #316 in the PP flight crew for anyone who is curious about where they stand.

    So, I'm down to my last achievement that I need to get, the Apollo 11 one. Any suggestions on the quickest way to get that, should I just send my plane on a marathon flight?

    How is everyone else progressing with their achievements, if you go for them!

    I feel like I'm the worst player ever.
    These are my top earners, any opinions?

    I launch the game maybe twice a day and just send all my planes somewhere.

    McNippleson - your plane/coin/buck situation is completely pimped out. Did you pay for a lot of bucks or grind to get all this?

    Also, I feel weird addressing a message to someone named McNippleson.

    Haha, I think for that one, you just have to fly it out. My plane with the most miles has like 220,000 on it right now.
