    Got the parts, Pondus, thank you!

    Let me know if you do decide to trade your Seq P & C for 2 Ms, I have a few sitting unused in the hangar.

    You should see Scotland's - in the past few years, teachers have been told not to mark errors in red (so as not to harm their pupils' feelings) and that they should mark out the first three errors and allow further errors. (I only know this because my mum's a teacher.)

    I can't vouch for the others, but I'm cool with that (especially as a Blimp's going to be given away shortly - after all, we've had the Concorde part events since Christmas, the last event was for a Starship and the current runners-up prize is a full C130 Hercules).

    Hi folks. I had a break from the forum for a couple of months (mainly because I had a break from PP while I got sucked into The Blockheads, Pixel People, and chasing Vic and others around tracks in Real Racing 3) and upon my return everyone is bandying around these strange acronyms. :)

    While I'm not exactly sure what MOFO stands for, I think I have the gist from reading the last couple of dozen pages in an attempt to catch up on things.

    I love the concept of a TA1 comp to keep interest in the game for we forumers. I even had a crack at hitting the leaderboard when I started playing properly again in the recent Boston event. I did get to #11 on the first day, but life intervened and I didn't get to play much more that event.

    Still, playing regularly over the last week has allowed me to get the last 1,500 Bux to reach my goal of 10,000. I've just traded that in for $55 mil, and increased my plane slots from 22 to 30. I now don't have the Bux to fill those slots yet, but I intend to ramp up my Bux collecting and event racing as soon as possible.

    But then again, they've just released a big update for Pixel People...

    I'm trying to gift parts and the screen seems to "hang" at the loading friends page. How long would you let it wait? And, how to you prevent this? Ideas?:confused:

    The thing to do is close the app. As in, really close it. Go to the phone's home screen, double tap the home button and the PP app appears at the bottom. Tap and hold the app until the icons start to wiggle. Then tap the little Red Cross and confirm. Swipe down to let everything go back to normal and restart. Try the gifting screen again and pray :)

    Cheers,
    M.

    Thanks green paper! :)

    Sent you a seq M, no need for a trade since greenpaper already sent me a pair of seq P & C.

    Longest Jouney - Nome to Wellington

    Opened Nome & Wellington while doing the San Francisco global event. Since I had a few M planes running out of LA, I noticed more BUX jobs for Wellington being spawned there. So, I moved the Blimp to LA, filled it with four 10 BYX jobs then sent it BACK to Nome for the achievement.

    Since I switched to the Blimp (versus Super Gopher), this required an adjustment to the route. I tried to choose the lowest priced Class 1 airports along the way...or slightly out of the way to get from Nome to Wellington.


    Final route:
    Nome
    > Whitehorse
    > San Francisco
    > Mexico City
    > Iquitos
    > Fortaleza
    > Monrovia
    > Al Fashir
    > Muscat
    > Butwal
    > Padang
    > Katherine
    > Rockhampton
    > Wellington

    Fully upgraded Blimp will take 9h, 5min. :)

    I just started the SF event on my wife's device. And guess what, I was 208th with 2 jobs for TouchArcade1 crew!
    I guess a lot of lurkers here joined for the event to get the full C130 :D
    But that must be a record participation for TA1 :cool:

    Guys, feel free to join or stay in TouchArcade1, we are a friendly and helpful crew ;)

    Upgrading Airplanes Mid-Flight

    Hello all, not sure if anyone has ever found this out before, but I figured out a way to upgrade (and remove from service) a plane mid-flight.

    1) When the plane is flying hit the magnifying glass to see the planes info.
    2) Click costumes
    3) Buy one of the special 1 bux costumes
    4) Now you should be at the plane info screen, click the left or right arrow next to the pilot to get one of the random outfits.
    5) Click costumes again
    6) Pick the costume that you bought in step 3
    7) BAM - You can now upgrade or remove a plane mid-flight

    Ok, now send me all your rare plane parts for my awesomeness :cool:

    Haha, nice little trick you found there :D

    Although, upgrading the plane mid-flight doesn't make it reach its destination faster, even if you do all 3 speed upgrades :(

    Top 5 over 3k jobs, out of reach. ;)

    From NimbleDave' twitter:
    "Nimble Quest comes out in New Zealand in 4 hours!"

    Damn too many good games, not enough free time :eek:

    Oh, I thought it's only me loading planes for half an hour to get that damn bonus.
    Also, tried mixing strategies for bux with my usual coin trade. Oh boy, it didn't go well. Everything gets mixed up with layovers all over. Will revert back to my "1khere-and-2kthere" tactics
