    I noticed my Bux drop by the thousands (over the past month or so) after rearranging my fleet each time the Global Event changed to a new city. After Bordeaux closed, I put half my Roos back into the hangar and then changed my focus to 80% profit 20% event. I'm just gonna build up my coins/Bux again. Haven't worked too hard on Perth and am not trying for a top spot this time. My goal is to bring my daily revenue up by 500k or more (since it took a dive ever since I put more focus on events)


    I let my daughter play PP yesterday, told her to send the blue jobs in Kangaroos to Perth. Well, she did send my Roos to Perth. But she also sent THREE Sequoias to Jakarta, each with only 3 or 4 Perth jobs (remaining seats empty). And she sent a few Aeroeagles to London and North America, when they were meant to remain in south east Asia. She always leaves me with the challenge of putting my planes back where they belong. :D

    I guess a Mapple is not in my future anytime soon. :(

    I kind of wish I had someone to add chaos to my game so I could spend some time fixing it all up again. Probably keeps things interesting!

    Also, if I ever can play PP on my Mac, I'll hook you up with a Mapple. Riiiiiiiiight after I get myself one. :p

    I didn't do too great on Perth, too much work getting in the way. I still managed top 30 but that was with my entire fleet dedicated to the event why I was able to play.

    Anyone else losing gifted parts? I've had 2 parts go missing out of 6 sent to me. I accept them and the game crashes and only receive 2 out of 3.

    Mapples are slightly better than Roos, not that big a deal

    There are a few guys who trade them in the trade thread. I did get some from Harmoniamundi ;)
    Just beware of a guy (Mot.Lev) who tries to con you real money for hacked planes.


    My game crashes at each part received but I don't think I lost any. Look in your hangar to see if they're not there I guess

    Upside down

    Does anyone know what it means when they fly upside down. There's a sound and it's obviously an on purpose thing. I can't help but thinking we're supposed to do something :)

    Maybe a sort of "randomize" button for flights. (like they do for changing Bitizen/plane appearances)

    Hey, I've got a spare Sea Knight Control if you want it. I don't want that plane, so it's just yours!

    Let me know! Also, let me know how to gift it. Haven't done that yet.

    Best,
    Anthony

    Wow, Hammerfest is quite the remote city, with Moscow being the closest class 3. They should have offered a full plane as the reward!

    It's not hideously remote - you can make the Moscow-Hammerfest run with upgraded Mohawks, Blimps, and Kangaroos. If you can't spare the bux yet, the nearest blue city (St. Petersburg) is close enough for a lot of class 1 planes to make the trip without upgrades.

    I'm going to run the exact same planes I used for Perth out of Paris, via Oslo to Hammerfest. Still playing with BUX collecting strategies!

    I thought you meant it was the global event xD my hopes were dashed though lol

    I think I might pass on Hammerfest, one bobcat is plenty for me.

    You need to send me one so I can validate this statement.

    And send one to me too so I can corroborate your findings xD

    Edit: on second thought, I need 5 of them to perform my study o.o

    Has anyone used a bobcat or a P40 for real?
    They're nicely designed but you know...1P...
    I use Sea Knights, Blimps and Starships, even Hueys depending on what I need, they each have their strength.
    But these 2 planes I don't see the point?
