    Planes

    Don't play all that much anymore, completed all the tasks, have more money than I can ever have a use for, and over 200,000 BUX.
    Anyway I started from 0 on my iPad, keeps me interested anyway, so started playing on the iPhone again.
    I have a bunch of stuff in parts and the hanger that I am willing to part with, any newer players I can help out, or anyone looking for anything, don't have any Concorde parts, but most of the rest.

    So here we are, not even a full day into an event, and Jakarta, the main feeder city, at least for me, has now closed for the third time already! Makes it a little difficult!

    I'm not sure the old TA1 gang still plays, but just in case some of you would want to chat, I created a "Pocket Planes TouchArcade1" room in the new Discord app.
    I'll update the post with a link as soon as I'll find how to get it lol :D

    There are still a few of us out there, 5 or 6 regulars based on the leaderboard... Good idea!

    I've been unable to participate in global events since Game Center crapped out on me. Hoping for a fix.

    Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't fly my Hercules aircraft... Does not seem to be any upside to it...

    It's been a while since I last popped by here. I'm still playing Pocket Planes ... it's a nice easy diversion for idle time when I'm waiting in line or something.

    I know some of you play Clash of Clans. I haven't gotten hooked on that, however, you may see me around when my 10 yr old plays it.

    I just tried the link and it says it is invalid or expired.

    Yep, I still see some familiar names on the Leaderboard. :)


    It looks like you've managed to fix the problem. You're #1 on the leaderboard. :)
    Bwahahahaha ... But not for long ... My little planes finally made it to LA. ;)

    https://discord.gg/0WUOhgWapxBkPcDH

    At least one legendary member of TA1 has joined lol
    Who knows, maybe Pocket Planes will be updated some day and the old gang will be back in force :)

    I just joined the discord group... Still flying my tiny fleet around. Trying to get up enough bux to cash in and expand my slots significantly so I can compete with Vic, Faye and the other heavy hitters... Only 25 planes at the moment. I'm up to about 30k bux but want to make sure I have enough after converting to buy at least another 10 slots and I think it will take more than that....

    There was a spreadsheet tab to help calculate how many Bux you need to go to XX slots, not sure it still works though.
    Long time ago, I made a post about the optimal way to upgrade your slots, because of the exponential value of coins you get the more Bux you trade.
    Long story short, don't wait too long as more slots right now will help you gather Bux faster, but don't be too much in a hurry as you'll waste your Bux if you only add a few slots.
    If you got 25 slots now, aim for 10 more imho. 10 more plane slots mean more Bux sitters so you'll get back to amassing Bux quickly.

    OSX app

    Hi guys,

    I´ve been playing for a while now and I´m lvl 34.
    Been seeing there once was an OSX game. Where do I find the DMG and is it possible to sync between my Mac and iPhone?

    Pocket Planes for OS X was discontinued :( Maybe I could send a zip containing the file to you?

    On the other hand, looks like TA1 is not working too well... I'm #1 on the event with... 34 jobs. We're 49 in the world now...

    Currently running Aeroeagle with upgraded speed from LA to SF. Taking 2 minutes to transport 6 jobs!

    On the other hand...

    LOL... I'm back at playing PP!

    New Strategy:


    So, I decided to try a more fun strategy than flinging 20 Sequoias from LA to Tokyo. So here's how it works:

    Main Route:

    New York -> Istanbul -> Shanghai

    Currently Not In Use: Event Running

    5x Cyclones.

    Sequoia Route:

    New York -> Paris -> Tehran -> Shanghai

    Currently Not In Use: Event Running

    Note: I will stop using this route once I convert my Sequoias to Cloudliners

    13X Sequoias (Currently)

    These routes only run with 25% Bonuses. However, they will run negative profit as they will take route from feeder to feeder.

    Feeder Routes:

    Los Angeles -> New York

    1X Sequoia

    Chicago -> New York

    1X Sequoia

    Event Feeder:

    San Fransisco -> Los Angeles

    1x Aeroeagle

    Right now I'm using L.A. as hub for San Fran Event. Will switch to N.Y. for the optimal route.

    Shanghai -> Seoul

    1x Sequoia

    Shanghai -> Tokyo

    1x Sequoia

    Basically,

    Chicago/LA-> NY <-> Istanbul <-> Shanghai <- Tokyo/Seoul.

    With the exception of Aeroeagle Bux Sitters, they just sit at random airports for bux (I want to keep bux off transatlantic Cyclone flights because I need 25% bonus flights even though they are destroyed at the end. That's because an Aeroeagle is exactly half a Cyclone and it keeps it clean. I might have to switch some feeders to Pearjets though because unfortunately, a Sequoia is two Pearjets.

    Currently running Aeroeagle with upgraded speed from LA to SF. Taking 2 minutes to transport 6 jobs!

    Awe come one Chromatinfish, don't be so fast to dismiss the TA1 team spirit... While not quite the veteran player like yourself or Faye for example, I have been playing a few years and in that time TA1 has never finished outside the top 10 in any event that I can remember! Don't see it happening anytime soon either#

    Whew! I thought I would have to try to get TA1 up to the Top 10 by myself! Looks like you and Faye are now doing it too! (Psst... I'm going to quit the event after a little bit because Chicago needs my Aeroeagle)

    Also, check out my new strategy up top. It's a lot more fun now.
