    I think a lot of us are seeing this. Some refreshes are producing NO jobs on my upgraded Class 3 airports. That's not right :-/

    Thanks a lot! I'll give it a try. Do you know how many coins I'll get if I close Philly? Right now I have 25,255 and I want to close Philly to open a Class 3...but I don't want to close it unless I'll have enough coins to open Philly.

    LAME! Is it worth it to spend Bux to manually refresh jobs? Is anybody doing this?

    I believe you get half the cost of the city back in coins. Looks like Philadelphia costs 30,825 so I would think you would get back 15412 coins.

    It costs 8 bux to manually refresh jobs with no guarantee you will get much better on the refresh. I would say no.

    You only get back half of what you paid for when you close an airport. Keep Philly open for now, anyway it's a class 2 airport that will help you make that trans-Atlantic leap for higher air fares.

    Even though I only have Philly & Chicago open?
    I now have some 31,000 coins...getting close to opening a Class 3 like NY

    I always thought you could see the mystery parts in the terminal building screen but just had a couple that were not on that screen but were in the jobs list. Bummer. Makes for a little more work with my parked planes waiting on mystery parts.

    Happy Weekend

    Woohoo for a Kingle Kruiser event :)

    I'm relaxing, looking for Mystery Parts, after going non-stop for the last event in Geraldton. I was just a few jobs short of 5000 - with only 20 planes I don't expect to repeat that number anytime soon. So far in Chicago I've found several Kringle Body's and Engine's, but only one Controls.

    Well done TA1 on Geraldton and thanks @Vic Sark for encouraging our crew to jump in :D

    @Perfect Trumpet have a great trip!

    500+ Chicago deliveries and only 1 mystery part. I must be doing something wrong? I'm using a variety of airports, scrolling to the bottom of each job list...any suggestions? I'm sad. :(

    Yes! You need a few more airports open. Can your Kangaroos reach LA from Chicago? I can't quite recall, but right now that would be a better buy for you than NY since its further away.

    They say the average spawning is 1/100 jobs. In the past I have seen this number fairly consistently. Now with a bux plane parked at every city I am finding there can be a dry spell for a few hundred jobs, then 3 or 4 mystery parts show up in various cities all at the same time..!

    The last couple Mystery Parts events though I have collected less than 1/100.

    I found 4 parts before I broke 100 last night and this morning I am at 257 jobs with no more parts in sight. I don't expect to see anymore for a couple hundred jobs but I'll keep looking!! :)

    It was fun to go to bed in 5th place last night! I woke up this morning to find myself in 30th :(

    HEY TA1 we are still in 4TH!!! C'mon let's fly!!

    That was epic dude!
    To be only a few thousand jobs behind TA was a great team moment for TA1 crew:)
    i'll check the last standings, didn't know you pulled 5000 jobs, impressing mate!

    Sorry, I couldn't play the last day or so, too busy, finished 4th in the 3000's.

    Don't worry for the imbalances, we'll trade parts, but I guess it's better to wait the end of the event.

    Dude, I am! ;)

    For this event, I opened and fully upgraded Chicago (advertised of course) and Mexico, I had NY and LA already.
    I do as usual, ie paired Cloudliners P and C in NY dedicated to Chicago jobs. I don't fly them back empty, but I usually don't wait more than one refresh to send them back.
    The same in LA.
    And paired Cyclones P/C in Mexico also.
    I replaced the dozen Mapples from Geraldton with my old Hangared Sequoias M.

    It's a good rest to have an event in a red airport, no need to babysit layovers. :)

    I don't really focus on MP, too many planes to fly to go through the Bux sitters, but I got 25 MP (7B,10C,8E) for 2000 jobs.
    i don't expect to have much time to play, but when I am, I'm sending a few hundred jobs at once.


    I guess it's 1/100 for cargo parts, so it's more 1/200 jobs
    but as we tend to focus on them, on the long run, it gets close to 1/100 jobs (that was the case for me on the full plane events where I had more than a thousand jobs.)
    Some also focus only on MPs, not on flying the planes.
    i'm not sure we need more than one or two KK in our fleet, but they're fun.
    A bit disappointed they don't have a specific sound though :(

    I found 1 mystery part and I have about 237 jobs completed so far. UGH this is painstakingly slow!!

    What do you mean by "bux plane?"

    I got 3 engines and a body sat around, controls zero. Seems to be a stock out on the KK controls
