    introducing myself to the PP friends

    Hi everyone,

    i have been playing PP since October and i love this game! Would love to meet and interact with more friends who play PP as well.

    well I am a Singaporean, adult 30+ working in the financial industry... due to work and family, i probably play between breaks, e.g. bkfast, lunch, dinner breaks... and just before i sleep for 30 mins... (my wife always wonder what i m doing not sleeping... :p)

    well if you want to add me, here is my game centre nic: Ruffyvanman

    later i will post abit about my strategies so you guys can comment and help me improve on it... :)

    My Stats and Strategies - feel free to comment

    Hi everyone,

    here are my stats, feel free to comment...

    Current level: 31
    Airports: 53 of 67

    Class 1 airports: 3
    Class 2 airports: 18
    Class 3 airports: 32

    Planes slot opened: 21

    Class 1 planes (9): 5 sea knights, 2 mapples pro, 1 blimp and 1 Huey
    Class 2 planes (7): 1 Birchcraft m, 1 Pearjet m, 3 Aeroeagle m, 1 aeroeagle p, 1 aeroeagle c
    Class 3 planes (5): 1 fogbuster m, 1 sequoia m, 1 tetra m, 1 cyclone m, and 1 cloudliner m

    Bux exchanged for coins previously: 500 bux, 1,000 bux, 2,000 bux, and 3,000 bux

    Current bux: 2,103 (thinking of exchanging only at 5,000 mark)
    Current coins: 1,467,502

    Average jobs for global events: ~ 200-300 jobs
    Current jobs done for this Paris event: 414 (6 mystery parts :))

    Strategies

    1. Not so sure if this is a strategy, during loading, try to get those bux jobs on board first then those coins job.

    2. i started to advertise at Paris airport hoping for more jobs and hopefully more mystery parts, but i see no significant increase in the Paris job... anyone else also observe this?

    3. Using Class 3 planes to do the long deliveries, and using the class 1 and 2 planes to do the bonus 25% jobs... (please help me on this.. if its not the best combination. )

    thats all i could think of...

    Thanks,

    Ruffyvanman

    Hi-5 Ruffy ! :)

    I am at lvl 41, with only nine class 3 airports. My planes are mostly sequoia-Ms with a cloudliner-M and Cyclone-M thrown in for variety. These days, the only class 1 and 2 airport(s) opened are for global events only. I close them when the event is over. Some of my class 3 airports are upgraded to lvl 3, to have max number of layovers and jobs generated.

    I am currently at #5 on the leaderboard with 4916 jobs. #4 is spudwreck with 7253 jobs .... THAT is impossible to catch up on. Grats to Rebartsch for beating nokitano and Vic Sark to #1 spot :)

    I have too many seaknight controls. anyone want to trade body/engine for controls?

    I've decided to trade in my bux for coins. I have been trying to earn enough coins to open more plane slots, but I've been stuck at abt 2m coins for like 2 weeks :( Finally made it to 25,784 bux. I'm going to do what Vic Sark did and trade 25k bux :D:D:D

    Class 2 airports: 2
    Class 3 airports: 11

    Plane slots opened: 20

    Class 1 planes (1): 1 sea knight
    Class 2 planes (7): 9 Aeroeagle m, 1 aeroeagle c
    Class 3 planes (5): 1 fogbuster m, 7 sequoia m, 1 cyclone m
    *for current event

    Current bux: 3,820
    Current coins: 4,095,001

    Average jobs for global events: ?? Depends.
    Current jobs done for this Paris event: 1,011 (10 mystery parts :)) currently #33 on the leaderboard

    Hey, don't forget to change your crew name to TOUCHARCADE1 in PP!
    Click here for a list of TA1 members and their GameCenter ID's

    Good for you mate, more planes is not always useful, but it helps to diversify your fleet for the events and allocate some planes to specific tasks!
    Don't forget to post screencaptures of the exchange!
    I'm back at 30k Bux, not sure at when I'll trade them again :confused:

    Glad to help, most of the ideas I picked in this forum, just put them all together for this strategy. :cool:

    i don't think I came up with that first, the idea was here.
    Be sure to send an empty plane to the airport where's the job Bux job or mystery part is, it costs far less Bux to boost it.

    I sent a few jobs on my wife's low level game, we are over 75 in the crew now!

    I just had an advertisement come up after I sent a plane to Paris. Anyone else experience this? And not the usual ones we get, this one took up the entire page and was new.

    yeah I saw a popup too, not the usual small 8bit window, an almost full screen one.
    Btw, the crashing bug when receiving a plane part gift is still there after the 1.1 update :(
