    I like that it gets tougher after lvl10. I'm building airports further apart so that the time interval between flights are longer. I couldn't stop checking on the game every 5mins during the first 5 levels. It's so addicting. :)

    Is it better than the Birchcraft?

    I noticed it can only hold 3 people compared to 4. Range and speed are better though.

    Thanks for the guide but I have to disagree with this tip. It isn't realistic or profitable to skip every job that doesn't provide a 25% bonus or bux.

    I've seen multiple people say the Birchcraft is substantially more productive than the Equinox. I haven't seen anyone say the Equinox is better than the Birchcraft.

    I don't agree with it either. I prefer to send off a plane on a profitable flight and build up layovers than to wait at the airport for a combo. It is simply not practical especially for 5-capacity planes and above.

    you dont "skip" jobs, you simply pick up any job heading in the same direction and delay them by dropping them off at a stop right before their destination, using the layover mechanic. this is why it helps to expand in a straight line.

    I also do "wait" at a station, only for 1 turn, if there is no combo, you simply choose a combo that is heading in the same direction, and drop them each off right before their destination.

    Doh! Epic fail in my game :) I just noticed an orange delivery available in boston. It wants to go to brisbane. I have nothing class 3 and aside from brisbane itself I have nothing outside of the states atm :p

    I vow, this class 2 the orange delivery is sitting in will never know a hangar, nor salvage yard until I deliver that orange package! The jet is kinda like a knight of camelot and the orange cargo is the holy grail and brisbane is king arthur :p

    Firstly, thanks so much for Warrencc's afford! :D

    However, I have some comment about that. The efficiency frankly just regarding the capacity, speed and weight IMO. The range will affect the efficiency for long range flight. But if in short range, that doesn't count as a problem.

    The efficiency constant calculated by Warrencc ignore the weight variables which i guess it do have some role in the calculation. Of coz, at this time, no one knows the real equation about profit making. So Warrencc afford is worthwhile.

    While, it is difficult to make a choice between building flight fleet or expanding thought opening more airports. Is there any suggestion or guild talking about that?:confused:

    Oh, I understand what you're saying now. I rarely layover. I usually pick up the bonus (or non-bonus) combos from my current airport and drop them off at their destinations immediately. Are layovers worth it if your airports are scattered?


    Weight only affects the cost of flying, no?
