I have created this user guide for those of you who have been playing the game of Airport City for a while, and are in the early stages of your game development. This user guide will give you a brief overview as to the different types of standard planes available and the broad spectrum of standard destinations each plane flies to.
How useful you find this user guide will depend on how far along you are with your game, what your short term goals are and your long term objectives. There will be a number of sections which may not apply to you as yet, but it will still be useful for you to have an insight into what options will become available to you in the near future of game play.
This user guide is divided into seven sections, the first section deals with Standard Flights, the second section deals with Daily Mission Tasks, the third section deals with Weather Station Flights, the fourth section deals with Weekly Alliance Mission Flights, the fifth section deals with Alliance Map Flights, the sixth section deals with Excavation and Adventure Map Flights and the seventh section deals with Map Flights Awarded Spaceship Launches.
For the purpose of this user guide, I have focused on the following ten standard planes, Swift (level 5), Owl (level 7), Hawk (level 13), Raven (level 19), Eagle (level 25), Jumbo (level 31), Giant (level 41), Falcon (level 51), Thunderbird (level 61) and Condor (level 71). These standard planes can only be purchased with coins and will become available as you progress through your game levels.
The size of your fleet, the types of planes in your fleet and the amount of resources you have available e.g. fuel, passengers, flight items, repair items etc. will determine what you will be able to do. You will not be alone with regards to this, there will be many flyers who have experienced or who will experience this, during the early stage of their games.
SECTION ONE: STANDARD FLIGHT DESTINATIONS
This section deals with standard flights, no maps will be required to undertake these types of flights. However, many of these destinations will require flight items, which will be gifted to you by your neighbours and/or obtained from plane drops.
In time you will come to realise that your neighbours will prove to be far more reliable, when gifting needed flight items, than from plane drops, which will be few and far between. Having a good few hundred neighbours will be to your advantage, but this will take time to achieve.
It is also important to make sure your neighbours are also forum members, this way you will be able to communicate with them through posts and private messages. It will also be a good idea to set up your signature page, and ensure you keep it up to date, so your neighbours will know what you need.
It is important you keep a well stocked warehouse of flight items to keep your fleet of planes in the air, planes on the ground will be of no use to you:
For further information you will need to read through the following user guide, The Standard Flights Destinations and The Plane Types Required To Undertake Them, by clicking on the following link, www.airportcitygame.com/threads/common-flight-destinations-and-plane-types-required.18979/. You can also obtain information from the flights menu section within your game with regards to flight times, flight rewards, fuel, passengers etc.
SECTION TWO: DAILY MISSION TASKS
This section deals with a set of three daily mission tasks and the number of times you will need to repeat each exercise, before the tasks are completed. You will have 24 hours in which to complete all three tasks, before the mission tasks reset.
The type of tasks you will need to perform will vary from day to day, some will require flights to be completed, while others will require buildings to be visited. The following are examples - flights sent (0/40), flights speed-up with fuel (0/30), commercial buildings visited (0/150), residential buildings visited (0/125), help given to neighbours (0/50), guest planes landed (0/35) and gifts sent (0/16).
By completing all three sets of tasks you will be rewarded with a Workaholic set, which will contain two random collectable items. Each time you complete a flight related task (section one common flights), it will count towards your total.
SECTION THREE: WEATHER STATION FLIGHTS
This section deals with weather station flights, to undertake these type of flights you will first need to purchase a weather station building. This building will be available from game level 12, will cost you 6,000 gold coins to purchase level one and will have a construction time of 1 day. You will also need to obtain upgrade gift items, from your neighbours and/or from flight drops, to make the level one building solid and live, before you move on to the second level.
Once your building becomes available you can then open the menu by clicking on the building. Once open, you will find 9 flights to complete, one flight per day. If you complete the first three set of flights you will receive a Wind Charm bonus, if you complete the second set of flights you will receive a Shaman Drum bonus and if you complete the third set of flights you will receive a Vintage Weathervane bonus.
It will not be possible to know the types of planes needed and their destinations in advance. Only on the day, when the flight opens, will you know the type of plane needed, its destination and flights item. If you are unsuccessful in completing anyone of the 9 flights (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc), the entire process will reset back to the beginning, but you will not lose any bonus collected along the way.
SECTION FOUR: WEEKLY ALLIANCE MISSION FLIGHTS
This section deals with the weekly alliance mission flights, to undertake these type of flights, you will first need to create your own alliance group or join an alliance group.
To create your own alliance group, you will need to purchase the Airline Alliance HQ building, available from game level 10, the purchase price will be 50,000 gold coins and will have a construction time of 12 hours (you can speed up construction of the building for 500 gold coins). To join an alliance group, you will not need to purchase the Airline Alliance HQ building, which will save you time and money.
With the first option, once the building is solid and live, you will need to click on the icon, located on the right side of your main game screen, to open the menu. Once open, you will find two clickable information tabs. The first tab will be labelled 'My Tasks' and will list three flight destinations, the number of flights needed to complete each task and the types of planes needed. The second tab will be labelled 'Alliance Progress' and will list all the alliance members in the group and each of their progress results across a gaming week.
With regards to the 'My Tasks', the destinations and planes will only become available as a set of 3 tasks during the weekly alliance mission, each week there will be a new set of three destinations and planes:
At the end of the gaming week rewards will be given to those alliance groups who finish in the top 100 alliance groups table. The higher up the table your alliance group finish, the greater the rewards will be.
For more detailed information with regards to alliance groups you will need to read through the following user guide, The Alliance Map Flight Destinations And The Plane Types Required To Undertake Them, www.airportcitygame.com/threads/alliance-map-flight-destinations-and-the-plane-types-required-to-undertake-them.18632/.
SECTION FIVE: ALLIANCE MAP FLIGHT DESTINATIONS
This section deals with alliance map flights, to obtain these maps and undertake these types of flights, you will need to be part of a successful alliance group and finish in the top 100 alliance group table, on a weekly basis, to obtain them along with other reward items.
These alliance maps (also know as purple maps) will become available to you based on your game level status, your star skills status and having the right type of buildings in place:

SECTION SIX: EXCAVATION MAPS AND ADVENTURE MAP FLIGHT DESTINATIONS
This section deals with excavation map flights, these type of maps can only be purchased through the Airship Store. The Airship will visit your game site twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's, and will remain for 24 hours.
The Airship Dock will become available from game level 9, will cost you 3,000 gold coins to purchase the building and there will be a construction time of 1 hour. You will also need to obtain upgrade gift items (Channel Bar x2, Handling Line x2, Rope Block x2, Sandbag x2), from your neighbours and/or from flight drops, to make the building solid and live.
It will cost you 2,000 gold coins to purchase one single map (there are 16 single maps to choose from), it will cost you 5 green notes to purchase one excavation map set (there are 20 maps inside) and it will cost you 12 green notes to purchase one map set (there are 5 maps inside, you will receive 3 random, equal chances):
This section deals with map flights awarded following a successful launch flight and the standard planes needed to fly to them. You will be rewarded coins, experience points and two chests, having taken first place on a green, blue or red launch.
The amount you will earn will be determined by the colour of your launch e.g. a green launch will give you 4,000 gold coins, 600 experience points and two chests, a blue launch will give you 10,000 gold coins, 1,000 experience points and two chests and a red launch will give you 20,000 gold coins, 2,000 experience points and two chests. It is the second chest which is of interest here.
A green launch will give you an Interstellar Set chest, a blue launch will give you an The Stars My Destination chest and a red launch will give you an Edge of Tomorrow chest, each will contain a single map to one of the following destinations:
There is a great deal more which could be written here about the space program, but it is not the purpose of this user guide to do so. The information recorded here, is just the tip of a very large iceberg, and will require a separate and dedicated user guide to cover this subject matter. To read about the space program you will need to click on the following link and read the user guide, www.airportcitygame.com/threads/the-airport-city-space-program-how-to-undertake-apogee-prometheus-and-lunar-mission-launch-flights-v7-18-18.20076/.
For more information on the space program e.g. at what game levels each of the three launch pads become available, how much each launch pad will cost to purchase, the type of resources needed etc, you will need to go to the airports buildings section within your game.
