They are annoying aren't they? They are causing it to crash I think - it occasionally crashes to homescreen when I press 'fly', and the ads appear when I press fly, so I assume the ads are causing it to crash.
@CastlePage I've decided to model my airline strategy after your setup aiming for bux. I'm using the same concepts but my central hub is Paris/London. One city receives eastbound jobs and visa versa. I haven't quite organized my planes yet, I'm only occasionally able to play so it is a half-hearted effort so far but I think your setup will suit me well! I'm right at 10k bux, I don't expect to make more than a couple hundred bux a day though due to my infrequent play. I'll probably play a ton during the thanksgiving day event if it is a full plane as I suspect. Few hours left in Timbuktu, who's ready for a Watermelon Crawl in Kalgoorlie?!
Since this next event will take us right up to the day before Thanksgiving (US), I'm guessing we get a Bux only one. But the big question I have is, will they do the Kringle Kruiser over the Thanksgiving holiday so we can use them all month leading up to Christmas, or will they wait until Christmas to roll out the Kringle? And, if they wait until Christmas for the double K, then might we be getting a Concorde of Hercules for Thanksgiving? (Fingers crossed)
I don't expect the KK until Christmas Day, but I could see a C-130 delivering frozen turkeys to Afghanistan soldiers xD Edit: As CastlePage would tell you dant, jiayou!
I sure hope we can get a full Concorde or Hercules (with mystery parts of course!) As for the current event, I'm in third, and 4th is 100 behind me, and 5th about 500 behind that. Hopefully I can secure my first top 5!
Oh no! Glad to hear no one was hurt though. All done with Timbuktu. Finished at #16, is it true that Perfect Trumpet beat me by 1 job? 40 bux for a gold rush at Livingstone. Still in Africa, it will be easy to transfer my Roos and Sea Knights.
Whew! Finished 7th with at least 2440 jobs. When I went to bed last night I was in 4th, woke up this morning in 8th I was out for a good portion of the day, but I played when I could. Tried really hard to beat out the person in 6th tonight at 2526 but ran out of time. Not entirely sure I want to play Livingston. I run a northern route and have no infrastructure that far south... hmmmm
Oh no!! Well I'm just glad to hear no one, including yourself, was hurt. May the flying of planes sooth your pride.
Thanks everyone, got to deal with insurances etc later. Oh yeah and my excess which I can't afford since lost my job. Ina sorry about the extra job I had 2 mapples 2 Mohawks 2 blimps and a seaknight running
They're normally OK to deal with, they want you to insure your next car with them too so will want to be seen to give good customer service. Re: the excess, if it works where you live like it does in the UK, you don't have to hand any money over, they just deduct it from the value of the car so you get less money back. That's what happened when I wrote my car (and the other car...) off. If it doesn't work like that then What's a Mapple plane, it's not shown in the Airpedia?
Does anyone know if you can do events and get prizes if you have no internet access? I'll be traveling and will miss the end of this event and the whole next one. The 40 bux from this one doesn't bother me, but if the next event is a rare plane I might be out of luck.
For those who didn't notice.....Livingstone is a small, straight shoot to Class 1 Mahajanga. I plan on buying both and getting my achievement for Mahajanga while I'm at it this event.

We here in the Pocket Planes/TouchArcade support you 100% and hope that your new car is twice as better, and your job pays twice as much.
A Mapple is also known as an X-10, it was introduced alongside the Kringle Kruiser to celebrate the release of the Mac version of PP. That being said, the Mapple is only available in the marketplace in the Mac version of PP, but you can find people on the trade forum who have a Mac and will trade a Mapple to you. As for the plane's stats, it is basically a Mohawk with a capacity of four jobs, 2c and 2p. I believe you have to connect to the Internet for your jobs to be counted on the PP servers If the next event is a rare plane you do not have, just let me know. I normally get way too many and would be more than happy to send you a few.
The X10 Mapple Pro - it's in the airpedia As for the excess the ins co haven't asked for any payments or anything yet so you might be right and I'm in the UK too Scotland.
Thank you Kitfisto22 I'm going to admit that brought a tear to my eye as well as made me smile. I finished 15th as Ina said which is my highest position yet! All of you are great and this is an amazing community. Thank you so much for your comments and good wishes, I am lucky to be alive. Both cars spun onto the hard shoulder both cars are a mess and write offs.. By the damage you would probably ask how I walked away. It was my fault I went to overtake and clipped Their rear bumper which spun them and me. Thanks again to all of you Much love PT
Don't worry, we'll hook you up with rare plane parts if you're offline during a plane event. Not sure I can put a lot of effort into Livingston since I have a ton of writing to do in the holiday-shortened week. But hey, I finished #3 in Timbuktu so I've had my moment of glory for the week.
