    Is there any way to tell whether your route is making a profit or even how much it's making? Pocket Planes told you your profit, but I don't see that anywhere here.

    Also, where's the guild/flight crew thing for this game? Did they just leave it out?

    That's because it's always profitable (almost). In PP, the model accounted for the cost of fuel vs fares/cargo fees to arrive at a net profit. In PT, fuel only costs time for refueling in the stations. The only thing that changes this is if something breaks on a train during a trip and requires a repair.

    Yes, left out and currently not planned according to a dev post earlier.

    As far as I know, it just returns your train to your yard and makes the line white again. It is still built, you just need to claim it again for another RR line(like if you just built it)

    Can someone explain the stockyard stuff? Like how can I store things in the stockyard for other trains to pick up

    Each city can hold an upgradable amount of cargo. The starting number is 5. You can drop off cargo in a city for another train to pick-up. This is helpful when you have a bux quest to drop off in another city or if you have a highly profitable cargo and you want to deliver it. To drop it off just simply deselect the cargo at the city of your choosing. Then with the other train just pick it up and deliver it. If your confused let me know.

    This might be a dumb question, but why are there exclamation points on some of the cities?

    Those are event cities, where if you perform enough jobs either to or from them, you are awarded a special crate, some bux, and maybe some coins. Click on "Event" on the Menu screen, and it'll tell you what you need to do.

    PM me if you want cherry, bluebell, or Carbon parts. I have a TON of them. I would love to accept anything else in return, or I can just give away these parts.

    I think u shouldn't spend any money because you earn lots of bux and crates no matter what. So save ur money and enjoy the game

    @NimbleDave:
    Yep same here. Worked flawlessly before, way faster and better than PP.
    Since 1.02 (on both devices of course) no sync :(

    No, you'll have one connexion to Tasilaq (Greenland), maybe one other on the other coast, and it should end up to canada in my opinion !

    I'm running some fuel stats for my lines. I'll add them to a map in a while and will post it here, but here are some fuel consumption between cities :

    - Munich
    N/A
    - Milan
    50
    - Barcelone
    40
    - Madrid
    30
    - Lisbonne

    - Stockholm
    50
    - Copenhague

    - Munich
    50
    - Paris
    30

    Numbers are in fuel units

    Would anybody be interested in a trade?

    Looking to get:

    -Mallard parts
    -National express parts

    Looking to give:
    -A lot of steamer parts
    -Possibly Mallard or National express parts

    PM me if interested.

    PS: Should I go to NA, Asia, or Africa first? Is there a difference other than personal preference?

    Oh, c'mon! Don't be cheap! If he wants to spend money (and say "thank you!" to developers), it's something to praise, not discourage.

    If it was me, I'd get bux.
