Wow, I am pretty much just in Eastern Canada/US. I only go West to Calgary, should I be trying to go New York to London? I'm waiting for parts to build some Birchcraft's

Bigtime · 06-19-2012, 01:10 PM

Birchcrafts have the range to do New York - LAX. As you get higher in levels I would start to acquire more of the class 2 airports (blue) and class 3 (red). At my midpoint I had LAX, PHX, DFW, ATL, MIA, Washington, Boston, and NYC. As I've shifted to longer range flying I've killed almost all of them off (minus Honolulu) in favour of class 3 airports.

Also when you get the cash upgrade your class 3 airports to the maximum so as to get more jobs and allow 60 layovers.

Wow you guys are really going. I am more focusing on taking over North America but I am getting tired of that. I was thinking of going south but I may wait for level 12 to get the Pearjets and take off across the pond. I am level 11 because life got in the way over the weekend so I never got to play much.

FYI for those playing on both iPhone and iPad, make sure you sync them on the same wifi. Seems to be the only way it will work if you want them to sync. Kindof a bummer but it does work.

I've made it to level 15, using NYC as my central hub. I haven't tried to expand outside of the US, thinking about Europe next. I currently have 12 planes, 4 Peerjets and the rest are Equinox and Birchcraft. The additional plane slots are getting expensive, 175k for another at this point.

needing a Wallaby-M engine if anyone has one to spare

TimSJ · 06-20-2012, 11:19 AM

Have been playing for a couple of days. I am on level 9 all in the northeast.. Bought New Tork yesterday and that seems to be helping move things along.

Not sure where to go form here.

I am E55fan on Gamecenter if people would like to add me.

I have one you can have. Add me on GC and I'll gift it to you.

I have quite a few parts, anything anyone else is looking for?

Awesome!! Just accepted your gc invite

New event is up, this time Casablanca. Can a PearJet do NY to Casablanca?
EDIT: Not unless you upgrade the airport!

Mazrim · 06-20-2012, 02:10 PM

Upgrading the airport does not allow class 2 planes to fly in. Buy a cheap class 2 airport nearby and have a class 1 ferry to Casablanca.

This event will expedite my expansion out of North America. Not a problem!

I bought Boston, what do you mean by ferry?

jtfrogger · 06-20-2012, 04:35 PM

This afternoon, I was about to close the Casablanca airport and noticed that there was an event going on. Perfect timing. It is my last class 1 airport. Since I started in Europe, Casablanca was one of my early airports. I kept it, because it was far away from my Asian airports for some good points.

I should be able to help substantially on this event.

Mccree · 06-20-2012, 04:50 PM

I will make my way over seas when I get home.

I was wondering about the other events? What is the deal with those?

Ferry as in a class 1 plane to bring people from a class 2 airport to a class 1 airport. (in this case, ferrying people from a class 2 airport to Casablanca)

By meeting a minimum amount of shipments to the city having a mini-event, you can get rare parts related to the global event, I believe. Don't quote me on that though.

HalifaxDrunk · 06-20-2012, 08:21 PM

I have been pumping people and cameras into Casablanca. Calgarypuck currently sits at #22 in the world.

I've been selling all my extra parts but I'm going to start hanging on to them. So if anyone needs anything let me know and I will check.

Shifted my focus to Casablanca so hopefully I can help you!

Mccree · 06-20-2012, 08:53 PM

I can't get overseas. I have New York but no jet that can get overseas. I am only leave 13. Hopefully I can level up soon and get to peerjet and get to London.

What I did for Calgary was just open up an airport and then another in Edmonton and just slowly shipped stuff to get the prize. Cheap and slow plane doing runs every now. You can move planes by removing them and then adding them back to your fleet and just plop them in Europe.
