Universal Pocket Planes by NimbleBit - Join Flight Crew #TouchArcade

Advice

Hey guys!
I'm a bit of a newbie, around level 8. I have 5 airports clustered around the starting area(Cinncinnati, Montreal, Boston, Ottawa, Detroit), and 3 in Austraillia(Brisbane, Rockhampton, Adelaide). My fleet consists of 2 Nav-Cs, 1 Nav-M, 3 Wallaby-Ps, and 1 Airvan-P.
Any advice on how I can take advantage of the Brisbane event? I don't have any long range aircraft, or much more than 11,000 coins to work with, along with 8 bux.
All ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
GC:Snare890

 

If you start in America, dont buy airports in Australia, and buy airports within flying distance

Good piece of advice there

 

Hahaha yeah I'm pretty sure I already screwed up there.

 

Stats for a fully maxed out Fogbuster..




The plane costs 175 bux and upgrades are 30 each. Ouch. I'm almost out of bux now..

 

oi...I know we are pretty much guaranteed to get our P40 warhawk in ~12 hours...but why is this game such a tease and only gave me 2 mystery parts so far! It refuses to give me the body and according to leaderboard I've done 433 jobs in this event...boo...what good are these parts if I can't complete another warhawk :'(

 

I started in America and all I did for that event was buy Brisbane and buy Rockhampton, removed a plane from service and sent it over there, continuously flying back and forth between the two.

 

Does anyone know how often the flight crew thing updates? I'm extremely new to this game.

 

At what level do you unlock the starship?
I am currently lvl 9 and a 1/4.

 

at what level does the Sea Knight unlock?

 

I think that's a reward. If not it'll be after level 20 when you start to get class 3 planes.

 

Is the trick changing your ipod's time allowed?

 

Put one Nav-C in the hangar, use a couple of bux and place it in Brisbane, problem solved.

 

I paint different types different colours, my kangaroos have one colour-scheme, my birtchcrafts have another, etc, so it's easy to tell them apart in the plane list.

 

Be sure to let us know how you get on if you try it

 

I think in some cases doing that will cause a loss of data so be careful

 

How does this trick work?

 

changing "P-40 WARHAWKS" controls to engine

Instead of waiting 10min for your plane to travel, or your new market to switch or your new passengers to arrive, you can fast forward your ipod time by 10min.

It works fine, but warnings out there are, don't switch back to normal time when planes are flying.

 

I am currently at lv 9.5, and have 7 planes

When should I start upgrading my planes? Do I have to wait until I get Birchcraft??

Second question is, what & how many upgrades should I make to the Birchcraft in order to make Trans-Atlantic flight from Eastern America to Europe?

Thanks in advance!

 

Mine are named to suit.

PeaP1 = PearJet Passenger #1
RooC3 = Kangaroo Cargo #3

etc.


Ive set up a nice line from Sydney to Paris now, doing well. Whats the best route to cross the Atlantic with a PearJet?
