    And maybe have it vary flight time depending on jetstream direction? It takes a little longer in one direction than in the opposite direction (for travel between the same two cities). LOL this would really screw me up!

    I wish they'd give us a new damn plane as a reward!!

    On the subject of new planes, the next update may contain new ones. :D

    Okay. Boredom has struck me...

    I decided to paint all my Sea Knights beige and brown and open (I think all) airports in the Middle East. This should keep me occupied for a few days.

    Damn it NimbleTim and associates! WHERE ARE YOU!?!

    @coastcat & Faye valentine: yeah that could do... :) but at least a real weather forecast in the world map would make me happy... :)

    Restraining myself when playing this game... So it would last longer :D

    I discovered a big glitch in the game :(
    a huge one!
    A massive one :(
    I won't tell it here, but I'm pissed.
    (and no, it's not the time changing trick from TT !)
    Not sure if many ppl are aware of it, as I googled it and found nothing...
    I hope it won't ruin PP for me
    Should I contact the devs to get them to fix it (not even sure they could)?
    :(

    I'm sure they'd appreciate knowing about any massive bugs.

    Saskatoon closed for the next twelve hours. Do I abandon the event or buy another close airport and keep going. I have enough jobs and I'm never higher than about #25 so I think I'll sit out tonight.

    Since the event started, I've been sending my Mohawks and Kangaroos between Chicago and Yellowknife via Winnipeg rather than Saskatoon. It's the same time for either route (20 minutes for Mohawks, 28 for Kangaroos), and the Winnipeg route is very slightly more profitable because it's a few miles shorter.

    You can also use Edmonton as the in-between city, but that adds a minute or two.

    Ever since I've been playing this game I wanted to ask this question but I keep putting it off...

    Does the job counter count how many people/cargo are sent to the event city or how many planes land and drop off jobs?

    Honestly, who the 'eff cares, there is really no way of getting all the planes right now and the keep doing these stupid single part runs where you barely get any parts. I'm done with this game. Screw weather modeling, how about letting us collect some rare planes for once </rant off>

    I don't mind having fake weather, but I would like to see for instance if an airport is closed for 45 minutes and you have a 1 hour flight you should still be able to take off as it will be open when you land. I know that if an airport closes while your in route that you can still finish your flights, maybe if they changed that and have the plane either return or stop at the nearest open airport it would add something to the game.

    That's what I decided to do, open Winnipeg, and keep going. I had 58 layovers in my home town of Chicago. I still haven't closed Saskatoon just in case I need it later.

    For the achievement, each job counts towards the 100. A Kangaroo full of Punta Arenas jobs = 4 jobs towards that achievement. You can use your SuperGopher if you really want to make 100 individual flights!

    For global events, you get credit for each blue passenger or cargo. A Kangaroo with 4 blue jobs = 4 jobs towards the event. Note that if the event is a passenger-only (like Lumber Games) or cargo-only (like Prison Break) type, you can still pick up not-blue jobs for that city but they will not count towards the event.

    For example, if the global event is an Embassy Dinner in Madrid, only passenger jobs for Madrid will be blue. You'll still get cargo jobs to Madrid, but they are not part of the event (they will be the normal color, not blue). You will also get special cargo when actually in Madrid (spy documents, I think), but they also do not count for the event. For events like this, well, that's why you keep around C and P planes!

    The hope of new planes is the only reason it's still on my phone. I've been level 31 for nearly two months. I just don't bother playing it any more.
