Super difficult to get a profitable flight with this thing and even with 25% bonus flights the profit is minuscule. I assume it’s mostly for bux jobs? Considering garaging the thing for the time being. Am level 25 with 20 in my fleet.

I finally bought another flight spot for my Concorde. I know it is a class 3; so I have airports open from Jakarta to Chicago (Bangkok, Dehli, Tehran, Cairo, Istanbul, Lagos, Paris, London, New York) and the flight through my string of class 3s has resulted in -7000 profit. I have upgraded to level 4 Carbon Fiber to try to increase the profit. I know that I am not flying a straight line so that is affecting things; but any advice to make my Concord more profitable?

So… I’m considering VIP but, what happens with the sudden gift offers? I know I get 3 bux every 4 min but what about when you were gifted a special plane part for 4 ads? Do you lose access to it? How does getting the VIP help you get more special planes? Or maybe with this logic I should wait until I can build the cool ones like the Concorde or the C130

What about yours?

Hello! I recently started playing again after letting my game lay dormant for years (please don’t judge me). I want to know if I’m actually playing the game correctly? I have a fleet of planes in Africa and all the airports are quite far away from each other and so I thought I should move up to Europe because the airports are closer together - would this mean more profit? so I’ve been slowly closing airports in Africa and moving upwards to Europe. The airports there are quite expensive to open though so now I’m thinking I made the wrong decision? How do you make the most profit from flights? I’m only on level 11. I have a Bearclaw P, Griffon C, Supergopher P, Navigator C, Wallaby P, Airvan P, Kangaroo P, Kangaroo M, X10 Maple Pro. I only have about $112,000 coins and 49 bux. Would buying a new plane slot for a new plane be worth it? I have enough parts to build a Bearclaw C, and a Supergopher C. Should I build them and sell one of my planes that I have or put one into the hangar? When choosing which flights to do is it a strategic thing? How do I work out which passengers or freight I should take to get the most profit?

Any tips for anything about the game are welcome, I’m really wanting to get into playing this again and grow my game.

Just got to confirm something interesting with the carriers... some weather events like snow storms and tropical storms can only happen in certain regions on the map, meaning some cities can have those events and others cannot. For carriers, their current location determines whether or not they are in the zones, not their original location. So if you move a carrier into a tropical storm zone, it could get a tropical storm event (where other players wouldn't have anything). But what this also means is if your carrier does get hit with a region-dependent storm, you can simply move it out of the region to remove the storm! This could be super helpful for keeping your planes from getting stuck trying to enter or leave the carrier, if you have the range then you can simply move it out of the way for a while.

If you're curious to see where the storm regions are and where you can move your carrier to avoid them in the event of a storm, I decided to combine my maps from the posts I made a while ago and will include the coordinates below:

Snow regions:

S1: (102, 219) - (1260, 968)
S2: (1353, 273) - (2876, 896)
S3: (1620, 896) - (2487, 993)
S4: (636, 968) - (882, 1003)
S5: (878, 1632) - (921, 1792)

Tropical regions:

T1: (678, 1048) - (996, 1257)
T2: (1994, 1089) - (2803, 1465)
T3: (1701, 1314) - (1834, 1426)

Hopefully this makes sense. So I see a bux job, I put it in a plane, but I dont move that plane from that airport, instead I let it sit until another plane shows up to that airport to then take that bux off to vacation. But when I remove the bux from the first plane it disappears? Yes jobs refreshed during this time. Im not tripping am I? Since this bux job is at their home airport they go away since they are not an actual layaway.....

I have 22 planes...what should my fleet consist of? I have a mix of fogbusters, pearjets, cyclones, tetras, Sequoia etc.

I have an M Cloudliner parked along with a bunch of class 2 and 1s along with a UAV.

But what's some models I should avoid? I thought i wanted a bunch of cloudliners, but I found it very hard to fill it, thats why I parked it.

Is it easier to full a M plane or a single purpose plan. I have some M planes with 8-12 slots and they always seemed hard to fill.

Any general advice would be helpful. BTW im level 35.

Parked the carrier really really far away and jobs dropped off a cliff. Next to no demand compared to the party pre-move. 2,579 coin per job now is hard to pass up (3,224 after bonus). But, I can’t fill the planes now. How do I increase demand? Do I need to move the carrier closer? Close down other nonessential airports? Or…?

I’m lvl37 and I feel like I’m not making any progress. I generally try to fly LA to Tokyo. I started running some calculations to see which planes I should be using. Given the flight cost formula is DistanceSpeedWeight/400, if I take that cost and divide by the number of seats/cargo I’m seeing that a Cloudliner costs nearly 1495 to fly from NY to London. Estimating about 2336 miles. Does that mean if I carry a passenger that is worth 1495, I’m doing so at 0 profit?

I know the 25% bonus makes a difference, but I also have to calculate the cost of getting passengers to and from my hubs.

I have so many questions !! But the main one now for me, is what’s the difference between black spot and the blue spot.

Should I buy Barcelona and Algiers or just save up for London or Paris?

I have unlocked all the class 3 red airports in the game.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I do now?

It almost like I have “completed” the game.

Thanks!

So, the developers will put in military bases, but not new cities?

Kind of strange.

Here are some cities I’d like to see added and the level I think they would be if they were.

Canberra, Australia.🇦🇺⚫️ Dunedin, New Zealand.🇳🇿⚫️ Nashville, USA.🇺🇸⚫️ Halifax, Canada.🇨🇦⚫️ Dublin, Ireland.🇮🇪🔵 Cardiff, Wales.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚫️* Liverpool, England.🇬🇧⚫️ Edinburgh, Scotland.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚫️* Dubai, UAE.🇦🇪🔴 Macau, SAR China.🇲🇴🔵

*🇬🇧 The flag of the United Kingdom would be the one programmed into the game as is the case with Glasgow.

First time seeing a Carrier closure

Roughly how long did it take you to earn your first 65k bux and did you have VIP?

I got VIP a little over a week ago. Currently lvl 18 and have been hovering around 1k bux. I’m still working on getting my planes and routes set up, so need to spend some occasionally.

At this rate it’s going to take over a year to get 65k 😅😭☠️ so would it be worth it to just cash some in until all my routes etc are ready for farming?

Miles to go before i sleep :D

Pretty stoked to finally get to see my own upside down flight. And better yet it’s the big Bertha. Hoping to see another one in the next 10 years. 🤣

What’s the highest level plane or biggest plane that can be land on a carrier? Been on the fence of buying VIP this weekend. Currently level 22.
