How is it Possible?

[FlyingFalcon]

The alliance clock just reset two and a half hours ago. I just looked at the rankings and #1 already has over 1,200,000 passengers to their count. How is that possible? Even with 20 players that is 60,000 each. That's 24,000 passengers an hour! I just can't figure it out.

Developers wont lose the money.

Sad but probably true..

Can always make renting of planes an online only action then. Not like they make any money on these ofline ones anyway right?

That sounds like a good idea to prevent this type of cheating. Only a unique id that took off a certain time before can land now and the time between the two needs to be the time the flight would normally take. If the flight is spead up with catalyzer or fuel, that speeding up also needs to be linked to this id and the time the flight really took should be clear.

You do realize that everytime they add new code to this game, serious problems develop. Every update GI has done has resulted in game crashes, neighbors lost, bad bugs (as well as some good bugs). I'd rather put up with the cheaters and have a stable game.

We can do also online.
The point is, the way they calculate only by the planes that land in runways.
So the passengers added, and not connect to the planes fly.

Imagine, I restore point B.
All Planes landed and tap them.
Passengers adeed.
Close the game, restore point B again.
All planes landed and tap them, this I dont even fly any.
Close the game, restore point B again.
Again, All planes landed and this time again I dont even fly them.
Over and over again.

I'm still too new to even have experienced one single update so I was still hopeful there might be updates without bigger issues but I hear again and again it seems to be unlikely...

 

[Fencat]

I understand how it works @Robby Kusuma but if they make it online only they can add extra checks for rented planes was my point

Either way they obviously don't care enough about it or these people would be banned a long time ago so it's all speculation as nothing will happen

I'm probably being unnecesarily harsh with GI and their updates but to read the forum, there are problems every time, especially with windows phone. I've only lost my game once, and GI was not able to restore, so I had to start over. Other than that, it seems like there are always glitches to be solved after each update.

I'm sure losing your game is a traumatizing experience and I don't know if I would restart from scratch then.
It should not happen for sure and if it does, they should be able to restore it at least.
On the other hand, I'm also familiar with the differences between trying things like updates in the testing lab and then seeing how things work in the "real world". It is very hard to predict how people will use the new version and offering it on so many platforms doesn't make testing and predicting easier.
I just hope the problems won't be too tough and we can all keep our games at the stages we reached. If a couple of bugs are solved or some of our suggestions included, all the better but the main thing is to have the game stable on all platforms.

Alright, I have another "How is it Possible" question. I just looked through all of the Jumbo destinations, how is it possible for one individual to be in the top 10 on all 13 destinations. And they aren't there with 50 - 75 flights. Most of them are over 500. Check out captain Noxx. I have screenshots of the rest but can only load 10 at a time. I think 10 is sufficient. I sure wish someone from GI would look into this.

 

[FlyingFalcon]

Of course, they do have 37 runways so I guess they are experts at the "send planes out, turn off network, backup, and rent planes" trick. What I can't figure out is howexpletive can have so many of the same runways. I thought you could only have 6 of any building. Shouldn't that also apply to runways?

 

[Jega001]

Yeah G! needs to do something about this for us trying to just have fun playing honestly.

 

[crescent moon (RIP)]

Mitlain and Mikam have gone bonkers!!! Over 20 million passengers each. Guess they want first in the last alliance rankings! Over 6000 flights to Ibiza.

20000 Flights Plessezk

20000 Flights Plessezk

Guess that explains their #1 alliance ranking. We know GI doesn't care.

Hope they're having fun doing their wash, rinse, repeat, while staying at their measly 256 and 359 stars.

Well everyone if flying more than BA at this moment :-(

Does anyone have tips on how to legitimately boost passenger numbers? I'm literally stuck at the 90k mark. Flying falcons and Giants mainly, using fuel from launches and gifts but can't break this barrier. All videos used to gain extra fuel but I can't to more?
I can't launch more for more fuel as I can't get enough infrared telescopes to complete as many red launches as time permits - getting about 8/day on average

Join a fuel ring and build more hangars. Fuel Catalyst also helps speed things up. I just hit the 100K mark for the first time this past week.

A fuel ring?
I use fuel cat when I can, but I have very few and would rather get fuel as gifts so seems like a bit of a dead end
Cheers

 

[FlyingFalcon]

That's what a fuel ring is - a group of 20 people with support accounts that are only for the purpose of gifting fuel to the fuel ring members.
@Phyllo has been trying to set one up and has been looking for members. Talk to him about it for further details.

I follow you, currently have 2 support account, one hardly gets touched because it's a windows account. However both currently have p10 as gift.
I'll re download on android tonight and let you know when its ready if you have space
