P.S. to those who don't know, my name is ALY, not Alyssa. Danke schoen.[/QUOTE] I'm guessing you're not from Croatia either?
Incidentally, about finishing 15th: I used the TA1 spreadsheet as a basis, which shows you in 10th. Is there any place where I can see a more reliable ranking? Don't want to short change the 'real' top ten! Cheers, <.
Glad you like it!! I have definitely thought about backup bux planes. So far my luck is such that as soon as my bux plane departs all the 9 bux jobs start spawning! :-D. My quick fix for this has been to just load them onto regular routes and stop in the next city over, drop them off, then reload to 25% bonus before taking off again. When that cities bux plane comes back it then scoops it up. Eventually though I'd like total coverage, ie an entire backup fleet to bux sit while the main fleet is going to city meet.
Sent! And nope, I don't need anything in return! Just clearing out the parts page because it's getting a bit too long for my liking Sent! I don't think there's a way to see a more reliable ranking other than the spreadsheet? If someone updated it right before the event ended, it would be the most reliable already.
Thanks, received! Let me know if you need anything in future (except Concordes or C-130s, of course) Cheers, M.
Dear Merlion, Given the situation you were level 18 with an insignificant amount of coins/bux and running an operation in the Americas using strictly class 2 & 3 airports with only one upgraded (LA Maxed), what would be your strategy to grow your fleet into class 2/3 planes? I'm trying to convert my Kangaroos into Aeroeagles, I only have 10 plane slots, 4 Aeros, 1 Birch, and 5 Kangaroos.
Save coins to get more plane slots. See if you can stretch across the Atlantic with your aeroeagles (Boston to London works) Do not get rid of your kangaroos as you can use them for class 1 events. Collect and deliver any bux job. Somehow I've made it to 3200 bux again even with trying to buy a fleet of seq-m's. I'm a little cash strapped at the moment but no worries. It'll all work out.
I didn't even think about reopening my Atlantic route, I figured the cost would be too high with these expensive traveling Aeros! Thanks for the advice, with the weight upgrades they're flying at a rate I can bear! Thank you an incredible amount tfrichards92! Add me if your on GC! GC: KingJosephKimbro
One technique I like to use is to make sure your Roos are filled to 25% before they get to their end point (a Class 3 airport). So you start with a nearby destination that you have 3 or 4 seats for. If there are bux jobs, take them with you and ditch them at another nearby destination, filling up the empty slot(s) for the 25% end destination bonus. This way you 1) ensure that no bux jobs are lost; and 2) you maximise coin profits. Class 3 airports are end destinations so that's where you fill up your Aeros with the 25% bonus for another Class 2/3. So in summary, whilst you preserve as many bux as possible, keep maximising your coins as you'll need both. Looks good. Same advice as above but your strategy seems sound. In general: there are many ways to grow your game and your bux stash. I'm even starting to come round to the idea that in the end it doesn't matter so much, since bux are always scarce at first, and become more plentiful later on, whatever you do. If this is true, the only thing that matters is to chose a strategy that fits your playing style. Because if it fits your style, you play more. You play more, you collect more. You collect more, game becomes easier and more relaxed. Da capo al fine (this is Italian for rinse and repeat). Hope this helped! Cheers, M.
Ok quoting myself, but I really enjoy this no brainer strategy for massive jobs and Bux for class 3 events. 3500 jobs in a little more than 24h whithout babysitting It's not new, but oddly satisfactory. To simplify the above quote: Event city NY acts as the central hub and gets all Bux layovers from all over the map. All the planes not in NY take all available Bux and NY event jobs and go to NY when full. All the planes in NY go back with the Bux layovers plus jobs of the same airports with the 25% bonus. Doing it filling the Ny planes by descending order makes it really fast.
