    Yeah I usually hate PC planes but with clouds that about the only way you can do it.

    Trying to acquire a few cyclone m.

    Anyone have a concorde that they'd accept 6 or 8 mapples for?

    Wow I thought that a Class 3 event would be a lot easier to score big numbers on but i'm finding it harder than the last two events in Orlando and Baghdad. Main problem being that the planes are taking a longer time to do there trips so I have large gaps with nothing to do. Might get my Concorde out of the hanger and have some fun with it.

    Love the Tux pic.

    Just waking up here ... entry into the NY Top 10 is getting up to 1k jobs. :eek:

    Any predictions on the total job count for the Top 3 and the total job count for the Top 10 by the end of this event?

    I think #1 will reach 15k jobs, and #2 & #3 will pass 10k jobs. And I think the total job count for the Top 10 will be 75k.


    Goes to check cost of a Cloudliner fleet...
    54 Bux to take out of the hangar
    73 Bux to build from parts (+219 Bux to buy all separate parts)
    435 Bux to buy whole from Market

    50 Clouds could set you back...
    2700 Bux to pull from hangar (if you're lucky enough to have that many in there?)
    3650 Bux to build from parts (+10950 to buy all parts)
    21,750 Bux to buy whole from Market

    And that's BEFORE adding any upgrades! :eek:


    I always think of Robert Downey Jr whenever anybody writes RDJ for Rio. :D

    Question for you P/C plane flingers ...

    Assuming you have pairs of P & C planes for each city ... do you wait until both P & C planes are full before flying them at the same time?
    Or do you fly them independently? ... that is, flying the P plane when it is full even when the C plane is still waiting to fill up.


    I love events that don't need constant babysitting. It takes 57 minutes for a (non-upgraded) Cyclone to travel from Shanghai to New York. Perfect! It also means my game isn't freezing up every few minutes whenever something gets delivered or lands.

    I've got long distance runs and short distance runs for a good mix:
    Los Angeles, Chicago, NY, London, Paris, Moscow, Istanbul, Tehran, Bangkok, Shanghai, & Seoul.

    I've got separate P and C planes and also a selection of M planes for this event. I've been trying to send everything at once, i.e. wait for every plane in the fleet to fill before flinging them on round trips, this is probably where my issue with waiting for my fleet and boredom comes from as the shortest trip is LA-NY which is approx 20mins.

    Before with the smaller stuff I had mainly P & C planes and was flinging the planes as they filled. Think I may go back to this for this event and see if that makes a difference. Can't think of a reason why you would wait for a P plane to fill if your C plane was full already. The C plane can't take the others jobs so it may as well fly

    nope, only got 1 to trade. I didn't pay attention, did you send 7 already?

    Man, these class 3 events are like Bux jackpots :)
    I use the Ny center hub strategy, so almost every plane is going to Ny, taking every Bux job on the way.

    I have been changing it up to try different things. But basically it is:
    - 6 Cloudliner-P
    - 6 Cloudliner-C
    - 3 Cyclone-M
    - 29 Sequoia-M

    Swarm style, of course.

    Whew...been flying all morning to catch up! Finally broke into the Top 10:D

    Like Faye, I predict there to be a 15k....possibly even a 17,500 achievement for this event. Top 10 total...hmmm....80k.

    I'm currently flying:
    Cloudliners:
    6 C
    7 P

    Cyclones:
    9 M
    5 P
    4 C

    Sequoias:
    2 C
    1 M

    I keep checking the market for parts and keep building new planes as they become available....then fully upgrading them. I'd like to switch out the Sequoias.

    When I have P/C pairs, I send the plane when full. It's named so I know where to send it back.

    North can deliver 3140 jobs in one full fleet run.
    Nalazoo can deliver 737 jobs in one full fleet run.

    No wonder I can't keep up with you guys!!! :eek:

    I've got 19 Cyclones working New York.
