    It's generally considered good form not to double post on forums, instead editing your previous post and appending the second post to it (without "EDIT:" if you're not specifically editing any content of that post). The double post is unnecessary, unsightly, and on some forums against the rules.

    Of course it isn't against the rules (that I could see) to double-post (only to bump) so you are welcome to do as you please. Perhaps I'm already getting a little too old with my internet habits.

    What's your GC name Faye? I'll drop you the controls next time I pop on PP.

    If anyone wants to add me for leaderboard spying (I might run for the top 10... one day...) GC: itschriscollins

    Cloudliners, huh? Well that would certainly do it! :D How do you manage the P/C imbalance? I have the parts to build Cloudliners (because I've been spending my Bux on plane parts I don't plan to use). I just don't know what I'd do about the P/C imbalance. I guess I should build one and see how I like it. All my other planes are even P/C splits.

    I'm gonna have to slow down on Mumbai. I'm trying to juggle work along with some overlapping limited time events in the other game I play (Mafia Wars). I also closed my SA-Asia route a long time ago, so Mumbai is now off the beaten path. And I just don't have the time to babysit the game through several job refreshes to fully load my planes. I guess that's why I like the slow paced class 1 cites ... Port Moresby was quite relaxing! :)
    I love how it takes 2 hours to go from LA to Tokyo. I'm guessing it takes a Cloudliner that long to do LA-Tokyo?


    Thanks!!! Just sent you a GCR. And I just figured out how to add a photo to GC.


    Alrighty, who is #1 in the Top 10, hmmm????

    #2 is ExitaR
    #3 is Ooh Shiny
    #4 is SlightyNorth

    LA-Tokyo (via NY, Paris, and Delhi) takes only 71 minutes in a Cloudliner and 76 minutes in a Cyclone.

    Wasn't intended to be a double post. I was responding to one question, and asking someone else a question.

    Well don't mind me anywho, I'm being pedantic and a miserable old fart. To be fair I'm always being like that lately..

    I like how I get a sudden 4 friends; I feel popular! :p

    I knew coastcat was a real cat, I knew it!

    I was in the same boat, so I went with the non-split ones. I have 4 P Cloudliners and 4 C Cloudliners. When I get them rolling well they are paired off together (one P and one C) in the same city picking up passengers and cargo. So it is almost like I have a single plane that can carry 34 things!

    Hi everyone! Busy day. Wanted to ask if I'll still get jobs delivered to the global event even if I'm offline. No wifi to where I'm going :(

    Have a great Pocket Planes day :D

    We've been hotly anticipating Nimblebit's follow-up to their massively popular Tiny Tower [Free], called Pocket Planes, since it was first unveiled at GDC in March. We took a close look at its Flight Crew Challenges in a hands-on preview last month, and we dug deep into the Nimblebit way of making games free-to-play the right way in an in-depth article earlier this month. Finally, we talked about our early impressions of the game on our podcast a couple of weeks back. See? Told you we're hotly anticipating it.

    Today, Nimblebit has released the first trailer for Pocket Planes giving everybody their first glimpse at the game in action.

    As you can see from the video, and what we've known for a while now, is that Pocket Planes is looking to be a fantastic follow-up to Tiny Tower. It's really been the current obsession around the TouchArcade headquarters since we've had our hands all over early versions, and we can't wait for everyone else to get their hands on the game too. Unfortunately, Pocket Planes still doesn't have a firm release date but it's certainly close on the horizon, and once we find out when it hits for sure we'll be letting you know.

    Hey everyone, do people here join flight crews or go it alone? I'm addicted to this game but I don't know anyone else who plays, so I'm looking to add some people to my gamecenter.

    Here is the update as of this morning:

    1. 5303 - Nokitano
    2. 4879 - Jra Exitar
    3. 4440 - Ooo Shiny
    4. 4133 - Me
    5. 2157 - Faye
    6. 2095
    7. 1659
    8. 1518
    9. 1370
    10. 1299 - Train 2000

    Kind of amazing the amount of jobs we are pulling for this one. The top 5 alone would be in second place among all teams. With everyone else we have 200k more jobs than the #2 team. Crazy!

    Great job guys :) I didn't have time for this one, putting 400 jobs that ranks me in the top 50.
    So I guess Nokitano is SlightlyNorth?

    Welcome dude
    Just type TOUCHARCADE in the active flight crew and you'll be one of us ;)
    and give your GC id so we may add you!

    Edit: Yeaaaah, I got the 7000th post of this thread!

    Slightlynorth could be Verysouth...

    Still haven't even done 30 jobs for this event, I'll need to up the pace slightly tomorrow or I won't earn my pittance of bux!
