    What level do you start getting the class 3 planes? I'm still rocking Kangeroos with a few Aeroeagles about (lvl 17 ftw). Was a struggle getting everything over to Nagasaki for this event!

    At level 20 you'll get Fogbusters, the first class 3.



    I'm trying my best to work on the event, but when I do offline jobs and re-sync to wifi they aren't counting.

    I think that all events should have mistery parts, but not only with "special" parts, that would be better. :) Btw does anyone have any spare parts? I'm accepting it :p

    Hi
    I'm looking for Huey controls if you have them. l can give you a couple of Kangaroo-Ms if that interests you. I also have extra Blimp, Starship and Hot Air Balloon parts. Let me know what you're looking for.
    Thanks

    I'm shutting down my Nagasaki event. I'll probably finish with about 800 jobs, good for 2nd for now but a far cry from the 4000 I did for SanDiego. Cargo only and reward being just Bux has made this event a dud, for the rest of the crew too it looks like. Hope the next event is better.

    Yeah it does seem to be a dead heat, I've moved most of my planes over and being lvl 17, I don't exactly have the resources to back out, so I'm just having to go with it :)

    Thanks for the insight, Bluebear88! I delivered three 1 Bux jobs to Shanghai in a Mohawk, and it was weird seeing the profit say "+0". :)

    I thought it would be fun to know what city our members are from, so I added a "Location" column to the city. Feel free to leave it blank if you're uncomfortable with sharing that info.

    Apart from completing the local events (I'm not doing 1000 jobs for a measly 15 bux!), I've done everything else, so I'm going to also focus on collecting Bux.

    Besides parking a plane at each city, care to expand on your Bux collecting strategy? Do you gather bux jobs heading to the same destination through the use of layovers, or do you just wait for the plane to fill up with bux jobs, then hop around on the map delivering jobs to the necessary destinations? Is there a lower limit (eg. 4 Bux or less) job that you won't bother loading?

    I used different trategies, some I already discussed in this thread a few weeks/months ago, with others.

    the main thing to understand is that, if you play long enough, all that matters is Bux, not coins, not the 25% bonus, not making a profit on a trip...evthg else than Bux is irrelevant in the end.
    Because of the floating exchange rate of Bux for coins, the more Bux you exchange, the higher the value. (first Bux is 500 coins, then 1 more coin each 2 Bux FOR ALL THE BUX exchanged.
    So a single Bux job doesn't seem a lot now, but if you exchange 10k Bux, it will be worth 5500 coins.
    And at 25k Bux, it's worth 13000 coins (for a single Bux!) and so on...

    So after a few months play, I would advise to always take all Bux jobs, and drop them 'en route' then fill your plane.
    That's not what I did, I did focus on the 25% bonus mainly and took bux jobs and drop them as layovers when I could.

    A good strategy is to have airports work in close pairs/clusters (ie Paris/London or Rio/Sao paulo, Ny/Chicago, Seoul/Shangai/Tokyo...) That gives the ability to use one or two planes to collect Bux back and forth.
    I also specialized my airports in each cluster, to deal with the layovers (ie London took all NA/SA layovers whereas Paris took EA/Africa layovers).

    Or you could have a plane sitting in each airport collecting all the Bux jobs and when full drop them as layovers at the nearest airport!

    But you got to try and play a way that is fun for you first and foremost ;)

    I didn't want to do this without warning, but if you play Air Wings, add me and challenge me to a battle... I will not go easy on you.
    If you don't have this app, I suggest you download it... It my opinion, its fun.
