    You dont have to only buy bux. Like the other 2 you mentioned you can earn them in game. When you level up you get some. Some passengers or cargo will pay you in them I've even gotten 2 from a passenger and for the real patient watch your plane fly and not only coins pass you by but occasionally a bux will as well.

    Took a bit to get used to it, but I really grew to like it!

    I also joined OceanicAirlines as a LOST reference haha.

    What is everyone talking about? I see 0 IAP that can't be obtained by playing the game. The bux show up along with coins mid flight.

    Love this game so far have so far got Berlin, Brussels, Munich, Venice, Glasgow, Trondheim, and the Swedish city got about 3 cargo, and 3 Passenger so far, my code name for my airline is BA for passenger, and BAC for Cargo, BA stands for British Airways by the way. I am currently on level 4, my next unlockable city will be Manchester. This is going to stay on my iPod forever now i think. Especially as I live very close to an Airport.

    Blue dots on airports?

    Question: I started out in Europe, and I noticed in the boarding screen, where I pick out what to load onto the plane, everytime Berlin is a destination, there's this little blue dot next to the name Berlin. Any significance to this? I can also see the blue dot on the airport map as well...

    I'm in the Toucharcade group too :)

    Haha! Encountered a small easter egg! I just went to check on my planes and one of them was flying upside down! Passengers and pilot were screaming. Hilarious! xD

    This game is really confusing. I wasted all my bux buying planes and they won't show up in my hangar, and the tutorial is extremely vague. wtf. :mad:

    I can't see my newly built planes in my hanger either... :( It's really frustrating. Anyone have an answer?

    After you buy them, you have to place them in an airport that is empty.

    The game does force you to do a lot on your own and doesn't explain much, I'll give you that. But it won't have you do stuff to lose your money. When you buy a plane it asks you what airport you want to out it at. Says it up at the top. It'd be nice to have a manual, since there is a lot going on, but I am enjoying finding a lot out on my own :)


    Oh crap I'm an idiot. I just saw the engine in the market she bought it. Ugh. Anyway I have another control and I'm looking for a Wallaby-c engine and controls. Would love some help for that! :). I have an extra wallaby c body as well as a navigator c control.

    There are gray, blue and red dots - indicating the population sizes of the airports. Blue is 5m+ and red is 10m+ I believe.

    Cool, thanks :). Wait, you have to pay a bux to gift them? That SUX.
