Windows How do I earn coins and expand in airport city after the update?

I've seen many threads about other things, but I don't think they work in the latest (massive) Update. Anybody know?

Hi Reuben, welcome to the game and forum. I've been playing the game for exactly a year and a week now, and back then I had similar questions as you.

The first thing I would suggest is to see the meaning and fun in Airport City beyond earning coins and expanding the city. There have been too many players who focus so much on these goals, that they end up reluctantly spending lots of real money, complaining on forum/facebook, or quitting the game within months. Just like money in real life - there is virtually never a moment where the average player would think "I have enough coins" or "my city is big enough". To put things into perspective: the average player may take 3 years of active gameplay and spending couple of hundreds $ to build a city and fleet like Madlen Airborn's.

Airport City offers many features including standard flights, space launches, excavations, and events. Community is a big part of gameplay involving neighbour visits, gifting, and alliance tasks. Not to mention the support and friendship among forum members here. I hope you explore the game step-by-step and have fun. Coins and expansion are by-products that will eventually come.

Feel free to ask questions on specific areas that have not been properly addressed in the forum. And don't beat yourself up over any beginner mistakes in the game. It's nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean: Coins you get by coin-producing buildings, flights and collections, and space flights, same as before, and expansion of your area is identical to before as well. Could you perhaps elaborate on what you're struggling with since the update?

well, I mean more coins. I'm on level 15 and don't even have a level 3 runway, alliance office, or hawk plane. I saw somewhere that you earn lot's of money from space ships, can you tell me what you get from each and how often you can launch?

yeah you can earn 6,000-20,000 with space launches but that will require a Mission Control Center and Launch Pads and more importantly enough collections to start a launch and then items to fuel the launch. For now I'd suggest you focus on buildings that yield fast coins such as car dealership (every 20 mins) and landing guest planes.

The quickest way is to visit planetariums with your neighbour visits. 2 of the collections drop 2,000 coins and 1,000xp for each collection completed.

I actually have the mission control centre and a launchpad, but haven't had a launch yet.

You should start collecting launch ready collections to start a launch. Start with Green Launch. You can add me in the game and join my launch. I launch Green everyday.

If you're doing greens for a start, you might want to visit neighbours' training centres instead of planetariums. training centres drop items for green launch preparation.

And buddy, just to manage your expectations... For any fleet that you run, there should be enough pax buildings to keep them in the sky continuously. A hawk plane takes 80 pax every 3 hours - 4 hours 40 minutes. You may face issues completing alliance tasks if you fly hawk planes at early levels. As for green launches: they give up to 6000 coins every day, while taking up a set of preps and minimum 576 points to secure that first place which gives 6000 coins. So play this game with a "marathon mindset" and you'll go far Game level doesn't mean much on game progress. And you really don't need to (or rather unable to) get everything at the moment when your level unlocks it.

Hope you've checked out Capt Rollins' guides on the forum - they are well explained and helpful for long term planning. You can find more details on space launches too. https://www.airportcitygame.com/forums/capt-wh-rollins-guides.65/
