    Yes potentially 49 slots. I exchanged 40,500 bux with some 250 bux remaining (yes pushing to the limit). So I'm slowly expanding the slots. One constraint though is the market ... it refuses cough up a cyclone-M engine :(

    Attached are the pics of the bux exchange and airline value. I did take a screenshot so you can see my airline value (as you had advised after my first bux exchange).

    Currently putting 11 class 1 planes to work. I spaced them out rather than bunch them together like you did so that I can use the new job generation and rely less on global event job feeder planes.

    no no no no no .... A lot of coordination need :(

    Forgot to attach pics of bux exchange

    Here they are. 43 plane slots open so far (I've coins for up to 49 plane slots). The next slot costs 64,041,500 coins. Heart pain. (cast envious look on the 8m plane slot of a few pages ago).

    Now i'm doing bux gathering again.

    Hey, if you want your big cash airline value to stick through GC, you got to wait a few hours before spending evthg.

    I just did a big exchange too - not as many as you guys, but 20,000 Bux to buy slots for more class 1 planes:

    I have been holding on 1.0.4 as well. My friend just upgraded his device to the current release and the only problem he is seeing is the crash upon receiving gift bug. The main reason I have stayed with 1.0.4 is i find it useful to be able to unload beyond an airport's normal layover capacity. The downside is, I found out the hard way I cannot receive gifted Mapples. Still debating if I want to update or not.

    Thanks for that Snowbird, I really thought I was probably the only one still plugging away in 1.0.4. I really don't feel so bad now. I recon I must have missed a trick though, I may be dumb but how do I layover beyond capacity??

    first of all: right after the event ended I switched from ign to toucharcade. (After, it definitely didn't happen during. Although at the beginning of that event i had not been in a crew, but i went to IGN at the beginning and got my 210 jobs in ign.)
    Does switching while they are awarding prizes have anything to do with it?

    Secondly: Given this info, am i going to get my deserved prize?

    You guys can certainly get those planes flying, for 80 members that's brilliant, not sure I can keep up with that standard

    You're probably better off posting on the nimblebit forums to get an answer from their team - they'll know better as it's a fairly rare scenario i'm sure.

    If you land in a city that is full on layovers, you can unload everything anyway as long as you have at least one empty space on the plane. The trick is to load a piece of NON-Layover cargo/person, then press and hold UNLOAD on that same person/cargo to "Unload All".

    Unfortunately if you switch teams before your prize arrives, you will likely not be awarded your prize.

    This happened to me when the original "Computer Failure" event started back on June 14. I switched flight crews and started sending planes to Singapore before I had got my prize from the San Diego event (the first Starship!). I sent an email to Nimblebit, and they gifted me the Starship directly. I'm not sure if they'd still do that, but it's worth a try.

    Got a Mohawk-P today from Nimblebit - obviously they are working their way up to the Concorde with me. :p

    I don't need it - anyone want it?

    Got my second cloudliner as a gift today - this time a C version. Really gutted that I'd already built cloudliners of each variety......still mustn't grumble too much!
