I apologize in advance - this requires math. There are lots of ways to play this game. If you're the type to track things with spreadsheets and plan for everything, this strategy may be for you.
As you achieve new levels, you get rewarded with greenies, coins, passengers and some other stuff. More importantly, your fuel meter is restored - even if it was completely empty.
But do you want to level up? Well of course you do because it unlocks new challenges. But this is more about when you want to level up. You can use leveling up as a way to get lots of fuel fast. This is a great trick when you start collecting maps because most maps are only active for a few hours so you want to get in as many flights in at that time as possible.
Let's say you're at level 49.
- Moving to level 50, your fuel meter refills with 100 units. But you need 101K experience points (well actually 101K minus your current experience points)
- For level 51, fuel restores to 101 units and requires 107K experience.
- For level 52, fuel restores to 102 units and requires 113K experience.
The next question is then "how do I get all those experience points at once?".
| The best way to control when you level up is to save collections - meaning don't collect them when they are complete. When you're landing jumbo planes and larger, the experience from the collections is 1000. Even for Chess Club which you start gathering when landing hawks, you get 600 experience points. These collections gather quite quickly if you land lots of guest planes - especially when using the spyglass bonus. And if you start the Pilot's Manual bonus before opening these collections, it doubles your experience points (so 2000 exp and 1200 exp in the examples I used). There are also collections for red launch preps that have 1000 exp points. Save those too. So the scenario above requires 321 000 experience points at most - which is actually 160,500 exp in collections - then doubled with the Pilot Manual. Sounds like a lot, I know. But the hardest part is resisting the urge to collect the completed collections. |
I use a spreadsheet to manage this.
Here are the steps once you have all the required collections to get through the levels you want:
- Start your Bottomless Barrel bonus before you will start your map and don't play for a while so your fuel fills completely. (before sleep may not be practical because your bonus will expire before you want to level up)
- Activate a map when your fuel is full.
- Activate the Pilot's Manual bonus
- Fly your planes and start opening collections to get within a few thousand in exp points until you reach the next level.
- Wait until your fuel is completely empty - either by speeding up a plane or sending a new flight.
- Open a few collections to hit the next level. Your fuel meter will be full again.
- Repeat step 4 though 6 until you have opened all your collections.
- Small oil refinery level 1 - cost 50 000 coins - increases max fuel supply by 15 units
- Small oil refinery level 2 - cost 200 000 coins - increases max fuel supply by another 20 units (35 total)
- Small oil refinery level 3 - cost 2 000 000 coins - increases max fuel supply by another 30 units (65 total)
- Powerful oil refinery level 1 - cost 10 greenies - increases max fuel supply by 25 units
- Powerful oil refinery level 2 - cost 100 greenies - increases max fuel supply by another 30 units (55 total)
- Powerful oil refinery level 3 - cost 1000 greenies - increases max fuel supply by another 40 units (95 total)
