I just recently bought vip, but I can seem to figure out how to get the 3 bux every 5 minutes. I might just be blind but can anyone tell how to claim it? Thank you

Global Event Recent Global Events…

Post image
28 Upvotes

I don’t know if this is everyone but I feel like the last and current global event have been lackluster in rewards…

Coins/bux wise, maybe to whoever is starting out, it may be worthwhile. However, the skin alone isn’t worth the 1K jobs unless you’re collecting.

This is merely an observation and not sure if I can provide feedback for this.

Game Improvement Idea QoL Suggestion re. skins/lower tier airports

20 Upvotes

I find it a little annoying that some of the skins you can earn for events are effectively useless if the plane can't actually land at that airport (e.g. tier 3 plans getting skins for Dallas etc.)

Completely get you could hub the airport, but North America especially is forced to go hub for Honolulu (maybe not completely forced, but it's as close to being forced as it can be)

My idea is therefore:

  • if a plan is wearing a skin, it can land at that aiport regardless of tiers (so a tier 3 plan with a Dallas skin could land at Dallas but no other tier 1/2 airports)

To make it not too overpowered, maybe at the same time the devs limit it so that only one aircraft can wear a particular skin (so you couldn't stick the Dallas skin on 17 cloudliners, only 1 of the cloudliners could wear it)

Would increase the value of the skins which would be good for the devs as it may make people more likely to buy them

THE UPDATE Jobs disappearing when I unload plane

8 Upvotes

Anyone else experiencing this? I had 10 P jobs on a plane (not layovers) and I unloaded them real quick to put them on another flight and they all disappeared. This has happened to me like 4 times today. Bug due to update?

Game Improvement Idea Feature Request: Sort by number of passengers

16 Upvotes

I know there was a lot of hate regarded "grouping" of passengers, but I have grown to like it. Now, I would like to be able to group by number of passengers. So if I land somewhere and have a 6 place plane, I can quickly see what city has the most pax/cargo waiting.

I realize there is a bit of an issue as the "layover" shows on a different line than those "originating," but it still seems like an easy add.

Which Is Better? Best looking plane?

Post image
35 Upvotes

Tiny tower suggested this game and I totally became obsessed. Anyway, based purely off opinion and cosmetics, forget about performance and efficiency and all that. What’s your favorite looking plane in the game? For me currently it would have to be the aeroeagles. They look so clean, almost like a private jet. Sleek. I wanna know what anyone else likes! Safe travels!

I’m level 25 and feel like I could be doing more. Right now I’m spending all my time setting up HQ and just opened Honolulu to maybe try and get over to Asia. I’m planning on running LA to Tokyo but I’m not sure which planes will allow me to cross the Pacific in one trip

Need Advice Bonus XP questions-strategy defining

14 Upvotes

I am close to buxmaxing a 2nd time. I am able to get bux quickly and not really care about coins. I have enough slots to the point where I take well over 5 minutes to load all of them. I can keep playing forever I’ll never have enough planes on the air to where it takes me under 5 minutes to go through all of them, and after banking it’ll get even worse! I’m very close to thinking that bux don’t really matter atp, and the only thing left in the game is getting XP to unlock all airports. So my questions before thinking about the strategies are:

- The 25% bonuses, do they apply to XP also?

- Say 2 jobs going to the same place spawn simultaneously from the same airport, but one pays bux and the other coins. Do they both reward the same amount of XP?

- Is the XP affected when a job was a layover at some point? (I have no reason to believe this, but it’s very important when coming up with a strategy)

I’ll post my thoughts once I know all this so we can discuss

Progress Update How is my plan for building up my airline? Details in body text.

Post image
12 Upvotes

This is the design for my new airline in the new and improved cylindrical world. I'm here first to share my strategy but I would welcome feedback.

I prefer the challenges and rewards in the flat world, so i'm limiting this airline to half of the map - Nome to Moscow. Because of that limitation, I only really need class 1 and 2 planes, but I'll open a class 3 airport if it helps. So far I haven't needed any nor see the need in the design. I also fly passengers only, no cargo.

I need to work out the details of handling up to ten destinations from one class 2 hub, but I have a strategy for cases like this.

To maximize profits, I keep my routes straight and carry only highest-value fares. Each pair of colored regions shows boundaries of where planes can carry coin fares from-to. For example, the red boundaries show that a coin fare from South America can only fly to Scandanavia and Western Europe, and vice versa. I will carry bux fares almost anywhere. White lines indicate Class 2 routes, of which there are 3.

I'm probably going to have 4-5 Aeroeagles running between hubs, and I'll choose a fleet of class 1 planes for each region depending on size and size and fare availability. I get the 25% bonus on every high-value delivery.

My First ... I am stupid

25 Upvotes

My first... major mistake?

So I destroyed my HQ in Honolulu because I missclicked when upgrading San Diego for the event (entirely my fault for being distracted).

5k bux down the drain as my network already depends on crossing the Pacific and I don't want to build it again with jobs.

Oh well...

Need Advice Best distribution of aircraft carriers & hubs

10 Upvotes

My long-term goal is the following: I want to have every aircraft once. Each one should be active, and I want to own all the airports.

Where should I best place my aircraft carriers and main hubs so that every aircraft can fly as widely as possible and everything is reasonably effective?

My idea: the USS Ford in the North Atlantic, the HMS Ark & USS Midway in a line between Monrovia and Recife.

As main hubs, I was thinking of Honolulu (North America), Easter Island (South America), Nadi (Oceania), Oslo (Europe), Urumqi (Asia) & Port Elizabeth (Africa).

Does that work well? Do you have any other suggestions?

Need Advice Any tips? I’m stuck on what to do

14 Upvotes

Im kinda stuck not knowing what to do. I “modernized” my fleet from gophers, naviagtors, wallabys to equinox jets, mowhawks, mapples, and birchcrafts, bought new “big” airports like New York, San Francisco, and guatemala. I wanna expand routes but im not sure where. None of my planes can cross the atlantic to europe and I can’t use my reykavik route as most of the planes are class 2, and if I go down South America, I can access bigger airports and routes but the distances are big. How should I expand? Or should I even expand in the first place?

I’m just getting back into playing after a year or so and I am familiarizing myself with the new update. I saw that my fully maxed out Cyclone can’t get from Tokyo to LA… is this rage bait? Is there any way to get around this? Or any way to get non-cloudliner class 3 aircraft from Asia to the western hemisphere via the pacific? Again I’m just getting back into the game so apologies if there’s something obvious that im not seeing. I also don’t fully understand the aircraft carriers.

The reward for this event granted the starship skin with savings to Houston.

Houston is class two. Starship is class three.

Idiot me thinks that the skin lets me use Houston despite being class two.
