If all you do is fill with jobs and send off it depends how many planes you want. You could have, for example, 1m in an airport, or 1p and 1c. Although that would take longer to fill up. You could also have a mix easily enough if you just load jobs and go, but be careful of any overlaps (1m and 1c in the same airport will 'fight' for jobs). If you are using layovers, stick with either all-m or an even mix of p and c planes. Which you do is basically up to you. I personally, for example, use P and C planes, no Ms. It essentially gives me an extra plane (although I have to buy extra slots and parts) for each route, and I find it just a little easier to look at the jobs screen (don't have to scroll past P jobs to find the C jobs for example) The short, short, short version: I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much at your level. Maybe just buy a mix and see if you prefer one system or the other. Hi!
Most people tend to recommend the -M, especially with the planes that have even numbers of Cargo/Passengers. It makes it a bit easier to balance the load (and easier to fill planes). I was going a bit passenger heavy at one point, but it can be a pain to fill a all passenger plane, and I've found it easier to get my planes out faster with -Ms (especially since I've moved most of my fleet to a AeroEagles and Sequoias), and since I shrank my route network (16 airports when I'm at Level 25). That said, I also have a PearJet-P and a PearJet-C, although I this point I just use them as Honolulu-LA feeders, since 2 of those allow me to feed 1 Sequoia, where Sequoia can't go to Honolulu (and I pull the high value Seoul/Tokyo jobs from Honolulu).
Hey I have a question about airports when you get a class 3 airport all the way upgraded is it a flat amount of jobs or does it increase with the amounts of cities you open??
Some events are passenger-only or cargo-only, so it's handy to have a few specialized planes for efficiency. Mixed planes are great for normal events and income production. I stopped using Birchcrafts but just can't bear to get rid of them. Hi!
I couldn't find similar discussion, what about plane parts "farming" through buying new airfields (4.0 to 6.0M ) getting random plane part and then closing them, and so on... how did that work out for you?
You only get a plane part the first time you open an airport. You also only get 'lower' planes. You can get cyclone and seq parts from class 3s but not many. The airport always costs more than the part is worth in coins.
I worked it for maybe two hours yesterday at the beginning and jumped to 800+ jobs. I then stopped until today. I'm fourth now, let see if I can move up a little.
Very late but wow.. 3,500 bux Have yo spent it all? How is everyone doing in the new event? Is job delivery still slow in updating? One thing I've noticed is that I'm receiving event rewards and sent planes faster now. Did anyone else notice this improvement?
I've always received plane parts and bux within an hour of the event finishing so I haven't noticed an improvement It took 4 hours for it to register my second lot this morning. I'm running my normal set-up for profit, not doing anything extra for the events but each run I get 80 jobs delivered to Seoul. Somewhere around 300 at the minute.
I've been receiving plane parts a minute or 2 after they've been sent I can't believe it myself. I used to soft reset my ipad 2-3 times lol I'm hoping for an improvement on job update scores. I'd like to see how much everyone else is doing better than me in real time How're you doing on the event so far?
stashing them Got 12500 right now. Last time I exchanged bux for coins I did 6200 for 22m and first time 1000 for a million. Now my next plane slot being at 11m coins, I think I'll wait for 20k (210m coins lol) Not sure I need more plane slots tbh, 29 is a already a lot to deal with. Or I just hoard them until an update comes, who knows
12,500 That's an insane amount of bux lol. Do you have a lot of airports or do you just check your airports often. By often I mean very very very often .
lol, not that often! When you get pas a certain point in this game (around lvl 30), the Bux just keep flowing! I planned to play at GoF2 and games like that this summer, didn't have neither the courage nor the time to settle so PP it was! And I'm back and still haven't finished Mass Effect 3 dammit ! I truly focus on Bux jobs first, then the 25% bonus. Just had a Sequoia flight to Seoul filled with layovers, 6 Bux jobs in it for a total of 40. I think that's my record I posted my layout and strat a few pages over, copy/paste/edit: got 29 planes (next slot costs over 11m coins lol) I usually play a few times a day so I settled for mainly Sequoias as speed don't matter much. Paris event was an exception. Got (all fully upgraded range and weight) 20 Sequoias (10M 5P 5C) 6 Cyclones (4M 1P 1C) the rest is between Sea Knight, Starships or blimps depending of my mood If needed I hangar a few Seqs for events and replace 'em with Aeros (class 2) or SK/Blimps (class 1) I got 15 (all class 3) airports which seem ok for the amount of jobs using Sequoias and Cyclones, plus the Events airports that I close afterwards. The NA-EA route (LA-Chicago-NY<>Paris-London-Istanbul<>Shangai-Seoul-Tokyo) and a SA-EA route (Lima-Sao Paulo-Rio<>Lagos-Kinshasa<>Mumbai) I like this setup, not touched it in weeks. You can do NA-SA with it, Europe-SA direct if you upgrade range, Europe-Africa... The key is to identify which cities you're using for which layovers (London for NA/SA jobs vs Paris for Africa/Asia jobs for example...) and dispatch the jobs accordingly. Cloudliners were too big for this setup though, hangared them. Voilà
I'm really starting to get bored. And I know my pilots are too. So... today none of my planes will be flying and shall stay at their respective airports. all expenses paid. Pay day off pretty much. Gonna work on building my fleet with Class 2/3 planes. Make it like a family. A leader plane, a helper, and smaller planes for feeding layovers.
Just past 2000 jobs and I'm in a solid 2nd place, too bad no mystery parts. These events are boooooooooring for just bux. Hitting the breaks for awhile.
