    Hi everyone Im new here! So I reallly need help... I'm confused on the global events. I know I can join groups for them what is the touch arcade one. Can I still join this group even though I don't have Casablanca unlocked? If I was to participate in this with an open city what do you do to get points and stuff... Thanks so much and please reply!

    Anybody else using rename to classify their planes?

    I prefix each plane with its type (C = Cargo, P = Passenger, M = Mixed) and number of slots available. I keep the production number for reference.

    So a new 3-slot cargo plane arrives as PL015 and I rename it C3015. A 4-slot passenger plane becomes P4016, and so on.

    I find it comes in really useful as a quick check at airports when selecting items to load.

    I got the pearl jet, and I upgraded its range fully. I make trips between london/madrid, and new york/ LA, but i'm not making any money off of those flights.. Sometimes I'm even losing thousands of dollars. Any ideas why? Or what I can do to start making money?

    You can still join the group. To participate in the event, you have to do jobs at Casablanca. That is, you have to deliver items to Casablanca airport.

    That happened to me yesterday, is was moving an alien artifact and the engine was making a high pitch noise... weird :confused:

    Anyway I've made a good start with casablanca, I guess starting in Europe has paid off.

    I was also wondering if there was like a strategy to this game or any suggestions I have for this game. I just got to level 7 and the possible planes I can get are the bearclaw, griffon, supoergopher, navigator, wallaby, anan, and kangaroo.

    The planes I have are: Bearclaw P, griffon c, supergopher p, navigator c, and anan m. Should I buy a Kangaroo or save until I can get more planes cuz i dont have a lot of bux...

    The towns I have are: Bismarck, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Detroit, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec, and Montreal.

    I have 36,281 coins and 32 bux. Is there a faster way I can make money? What towns should I buy? I kinda wanted to get NY or D.C. but I dunno... I kinda wanna get to Europe or I don't know. Is there a better direction to go or something! Thanks!

    The patterns depend on the type of plane and what it can carry eg all Kangaroo-Ms are the same pattern, and all Kangaroo-Ps are the same pattern as each other but different to Kangaroo-Ms.

    How many trips to "beat" the global event in Casablanca, and can you go through Casablanca, like on a stoppage trip(while dropping stuff off) or does it have to be your final stop?

    It's not trips, it's items delievered. It was 5 items for the last two events, I assume it's 5 for this one too.

    Hey fellow flight crew members

    I'm level 12 with 8 plane slots and 9 airports. I started out in the western US.

    My airports include: New York, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami and Mexico City

    Airplanes include: 3 Kangaroo-M
    3 Birchcraft- 1 P,C and M
    2 Airvans 1 P and 1 C

    I'm wondering what to do from here any help? I currently have 123 plane bucks stored for Pearjets. Is that enough? Any other ideas? Also I have 15,726 coins. New airplane slots? Help!!!

I have 39000 coins and was wondering if I should save to buy a city like NY? Or should I go and get all the small cities maybe like St. Louis??? Please give me suggestions!!!

    Personally I like to name with their range followed by some designation of how many slots they have available and what type they are.

    So I can see at a glance what planes have an above 800 km range and can carry 2 or more passengers.

    EG

    8052P = 805 MI range , 2 People slots
    770PC = 770 MI range , 1 People slot , 1 Cargo Slot
    945P4 = 945 MI range , 4 people slots

    As you can see with a limited number of characters you need to get creative about naming them.

    When I got a mohawk with 1000 MI range , 2 People slots and 2 Cargo slots I had to name it "1K2PC" (1K for 1000 get it ?)

    Your airports are kind of close together. I would buy new york since it has so many jobs available which equals higher chance of jobs with bux. What level are you? If approaching level 10 then start slowly closing down class 1 airports and start getting more class 2's and 3's. I prefer 3's since eventually you'll close down class 2's for 3's. Hope it helps!
