I am kinda finding a mechanic of this game stupid!The goal of the game should be to have a really large company and expand to most areas!As it is right now with every new airport you are buying, the job poll stays the same, which is pretty much the game telling you to stop expanding!I wish the goal was to become a super airline, have a lot of destinations yet still get a lot of jobs! What do you guys think?
You need one? I had a nice little fleet of em. Got one spare. I sent one on a 17 day flight for that Apollo 11 achievement. I went a bit over, though. 493,000 miles in one flight.
I thought the same way (minus the stupid). Thinking that the goal was to become a super airline and have various destinations with rare planes. Now, the goal seems to be get every single plane from an event. Am I right? LOL. Sure. And does it really require a 17 day flight?
As a rough guide ANY rare plane part (blimp, p-40, bobcat, starship,etc) is worth a full Seq-P, C or M; some people will even give you two for it. Head over to the trade thread (link on the first post of this thread) and post your parts and what you want for them. I've traded all my excess (I want one of every plane) parts on there for full Seq-Cs so far. Lovely jubbly! Speaking of which, what bobcat part is it? I'll trade you a Seq of choice if it's one I need EDIT: If it's a Bobcat control or engine message me, I'll trade you a full Seq and a cyclone part I just found in Miami If anyone is suffering the bug where a plane claims to be full with only 9 jobs (usually occurs if PP crashes while planes are in boarding state, not necessarily the active plane) you have to remove it from service or fly it to another airport (or back to the same) to fix the bug, simply emptying all jobs and starting again will NOT fix the plane.
im with you iv kept it up as im doing well but i want the concorde, iwill prob trade all my rare planes for it i want a fleet of concordes i have sea kats and all stuff
Well, I'm up to level 12 again after crashing out due to that game breaking sync bug. I'm hoping to go international again soon and get back up to a global airline. The hardest thing will be getting back the rare planes I lost. I had a blimb and Starship as well as the helicopter. I'm hoping in time I can grab those again. Still a great game.
mate send me ur gc and ill send u a fogbuster p so u get back up and quick in return if u get any rare stuff i need p40 engine/body bobcat controls
I'll send it to you right away. I'll make a note of what you need and if I come across it, I'll send it your way... Thank you.
Hey guys, did any of you get your prizes for the Chicago event yet? I restarted the app and still nothing. I really wanted that bobcat part... Maybe it could be because I switched flight crews for a change?
I got my prize, did you deliver 50 jobs after you switched flight crews? Jobs don't carry over when you switch flight crews.
I got my bux and part earlier today. There is an issue that if you change teams to quickly after an event, you won't get the reward automatically. There's a FAQ about it on the support website.
That must be it, I switched flight crews around 30 minutes after the event ended. (And yes, I did the 50 job requirement) Thanks! The support site says I should send them the info 24 hours after the event ended... I guess I will do that.
Current World Event: Miami I don't know about anyone else, but this is my favourite type of event! A class 2 city means the pace isn't too slow and not too fast at the same time. I've got 3 Cyclones, 2 Fogbusters as feeders and a fleet of 11 Aeroeagles all dropping things into Miami. Cities are Paris, London, New York, Chicago, Mexico City and of course Miami. All airports are fully upgraded, maxed out on layovers and requiring even more Aeroeagles to deliver everything to Miami!!! So what does everyone else make of this event / type of event? Personally, this and the recent Recife one have been my favourite so far... Current top 10 standings (5:00am GMT); 1 -1,295 2 - 1,066 3 - 739 (me) 4 - 485 5 - 403 6 - 324 7 - 315 8 - 202 9 - 201 10 - 184 I sank a lot of money and bux into placing everything into position. Started about 3 to 4 hours ago. Unfortunately for me, I'm going to have to play this event now that I have such a high spot - need to defend it!!! If anyone in the top 10 is on this forum, you're welcome to add me so we can spy on eachothers ranking [Relating to screen shots below]: I'm completely clearing out Miami's job pool on each refresh! Aircraft are all assigned cities in their names. CYCL1 ,2 or 3 are Cyclones that bring jobs in across the Atlantic from London and Paris. 1 goes to New York, 2 goes to Chicago and 3 goes to Mexico City. Aeroeagles are NYRK1-5 for New York, CHGO1-4 for Chicago and MEXC1-3 for Mexico City. I try and keep them on rotation, so of the 4 Chicago planes, 2 should be in Miami and 2 in Chicago. This way there is no bottle neck and no aircraft grounded whilst waiting for jobs. I also have advertising turned on in Miami which increases the job pool dramatically and is worth the 38 thousand or so coins you pay for it - more so if you can play for the majority of the 8 hours you get it for before having to re-pay. In my set up there can be up to 6 Aeroeagles all demanding jobs in Miami so I don't make much profit when sending them back to their respective cities / sometimes even at loss. But they take with them all available jobs for London and Paris to use as layovers in NY, CHGO and MEXC so when the Cyclones arrive in those cities, they can usually take off immediately. FBFDR is Fogbuster Feeder. These 2 I use to relieve pressure of layovers on the cities if it gets too crowded - it's not uncommon for 2 whole Aeroeagles to fill up without even touching the layovers due to the advertising. Currently, 1 of my Fogbusters is jumping between London and Paris to save all of the Miami jobs that appear from the advertising, ready for the Cyclones to pick up. All of this is pushing the limits now though - I don't really have enough planes in service to shuttle jobs to Miami quick enough (14 min return trip)! But when I'm at work tomorrow and can only check in a few times, it will empty without advertising, ready to be re-filled in the evening I realise I probably should of stopped typing a while ago... well done if you've read this far!!! I only intended to update the top 10 rankings! Let me know what you think of this event and any of your own strategies..... (Also, I went to Miami in real life last year and loved it! Amazing city.)
Hi everyone! I hope everyone got their Bobcat and bux Wanted to ask if it's possible to message your Pocket Planes Game Center friends?
Mdaymond, great job with your setup. I enjoy class 2 airport events, even though I don't do too well with them. My job counter says 91 but I know I've passed at least 100-110. How much bux did it cost to buy and commission all of those Aeroeagles?
I just saw this. Good luck! You can buy LA and Lima too if you want more class 3 airports that are within the Aeroeagle range. Advertising is a must and the return flight from Miami won't be that profitable but the main goal is to bring jobs to miami anyways Wish there was a way to send cash so you can add more plane slots hehe.
Thanks I've slowly been acquiring Aeroeagles since the Recife event - I knew I'd need more for another class 2 event such as this one! Having said that, I still didn't have enough. Many of my bux get spent putting all planes into place - bringing them out of the hangar etc. I've probably spent another 110 -160 bux building and upgrading Aeroeagles I gained via trading and buying and building more Cyclones etc. Pretty sure I had about 800 bux a few days ago, now down to 508! Not having played since last night, I've dropped to 4th place in the crew now (13:46 GMT)! 1 - 1,329 2 - 1,094 3 - 1,038 4 - 834 (me) 5 - 759 6 - 709 7 - 576 8 - 509 9 - 468 10 - 364 First and second place have slowed down but almost everyone else has sped up! I have 3 hours before work, then I finish early tonight so can dedicate this evening to it whilst watching a movie or something. Damn it, this game is taking over my life. lol I'll have to consider opening more cities I think. I was hesitant to as the job pool right now is perfect. I have 3 million coins so can comfortably add 2, maybe 3 more plane slots now that I have more Aeroeagles (thanks to you!) lol Will post here again tonight...
