    Great idea Vic !

    I've been staying out of PP AND blockheads. (My char is still in the mountain in the dark, because I haven't touched Blockheads since). Only lurking on TA1 forum. Yours and Merlion's MORONS got me out of lurking mode and into PP.

    If the F1 race is on, when do we start counting ? (I hope not the last few events coz I've stayed out of I lost count how many :p)

    Save your bux. Personally I haven't used my pearjets since I retired them. Upgrade areoeagles if you like ... they're the ones that I use for class 2 events.

    If you can hold off to buying aeroeagles at the next level do so. I'm going to try a longer reply when not on my phone (and not at 4:00 am)

    Add me on GC.

    Wow Gus really wants that Concorde :D

    Edit: worth noting that he would be the 7th crew all by himself lol

    :D maybe

    I actually thought of doing the next event as a solo crew! Maybe after my next bux exchange and I am over 55 slots I will attempt it.

    I like flying for TA1

    Is their a minimum number of minutes before a lot of bux jobs drop? I played last night for about 2 hours. Almost 30 minutes in and the refreshes were dropping 2 bux per if that. Then they dropped at roughly 4-5 per minute for approx 20 then back to normal. Anyone Know why?

    55 Roos in the air, beware all! :D
    You show by using one of the cheapest but most efficient planes, that one doesn't need rare planes or expensive planes to perform in the global events!
    Impressive mate!
    Flying solo in a crew sounds dull imho. You can just check the top 10 crew and look at where you stand I guess. But give it a try and tell us about it ;)

    That is what I was after. Anyone can do well in the global events with the planes they have....

    Last event was class two. I came in first with all my Roos and two sea knights.

    With a stragety that works for you have fun with the game and enjoy!

    The enthusiasm for this event is so low. I'm staying in top ten by doing nothing more than 2 Sea Knight flying from Buenos Aeres to Punta Arenas and back empty.


    Sad ... Nimblebit hasn't done a good job keeping higher level players motivated.

    Ok.. Guys... Do u have any suggestions about this game? Is anyone regularly playing? I've tried this one once, but now this is more serious.
    I've stared the game in Europe and bought right now 12 airports with 7 planes available. What should I do at first? Buy more places for planes or more airports? What to spend bux on? I bought one plane but it doesn't have sense. It is cheaper to collect parts.
    What do you guys suggest? Any tips for a begginer?
    And what about planes tuning? :D

    Anyone else have a glitch where they can buy the same part over and over again in the market? Just seemed to show up today. I don't like to cheat so I am not going to exploit it, just wondered if anyone else has experienced it?

    Tomek, hello welcome to the forums, this is a very nice place with some very smart and nice people, I am new around here myself, I would say always buy parts not full planes. It is kinda fun to keep checking the market throughout the day for the part you need. I would focus on less airports try to make a straight line and use the most of your planes range. I would focus on getting more plane slots but that is just me. if you hold down the button for load or unload it will load all to that city and unload unloads all. very helpfull if you didn't know that. Always try to get the 25% bonus and use the layover system to your advantage. From reading on here beat planes are class 1 kangaroo class 2 aeroeagle and class 3 sequoia. Upgrading speed will cut into your profit and upgrading weight will increase profit. Fly in a straight line. hope this helps, also consider joining Toucharcade1 crew if is fun.

    This is the strategy I've been using lately and it's the only thing I can stay interested in. I get bored with bux sitting after about 6 hours so I do this instead.

    LA, Chicago, NY, Paris, Tehran, Seoul, Tokyo are my airports. All fully upgraded except Paris and Tehran

    I have 26 Seqouia M. On each job refresh I take all the highest paying jobs and attempt to fill the planes and send them away. I can usually fill a plane in Tokyo with 4-6 LA Jobs, 1-2 Chicago Jobs and occasionally have to pick up a few NY jobs. Leaving LA you can usually fill it with Tokyo and Seoul jobs but sometimes a few to Tehran. Seqouias will make between 6 and 10 thousand per flight this way (sometimes less if you pick up bux passengers or cargo) but I'm generating about 600 bux a day and a little over 1.5 million in coins.

    It works and it keeps me interested. I've been doing it for about 2 weeks now and I've bought slots 21 through 28 and have always had the bux to buy another Seqouia. (2 weeks results is not full potential of the strategy because I don't fly much on the weekends)

    We can buy Mapples now!!! I just bought an engine and a complete plane from the market! :-D

    Edit: Kringle Kruiser is available too according to airpedia, too bad next Christmas is so far away

    Let's hope for cross platform trading next!

    Sweet! Thanks for the heads up flysher!
    super penguin if I understand correctly you are generating 1.5 mill coins, and 500 bux/day off of 26 planes. Sooooooo you are averaging 8th per flight so that figures to be 187.50 flights or roughly 7 trips if sending all 26 across the globe.That is roughly 7 Hrs...and on top of that you are adding roughly 71 bux per hour for those 7 hours. Do you really play that much?

    No Mapples in the iOS marketplace (yet). I would love to see a global event with a full Mapple and Mapple Mystery Parts!
