The Fleet of Planes - Standard, S1, S2, S3 Planes, Guest Planes, Special Planes, Guest Mail Planes, Tropical Planes, Mysterious Planes (v8.33.8)

I have written this user guide to provide information to those of you who are new to the game of Airport City and have been playing for a brief period of time. The user guide is intended to give you a brief overview as to the different types of airplanes, which will become available, as you progress through the 80 game levels.

As the game of Airport City currently stands, the maximum number of planes, you can have in your game, is fourteen. The number of planes in your fleet, up to the maximum of fourteen, will be determined by your Control Tower's level, to a maximum of thirteen levels. As the levels increase so will the purchase price, the number of items needed to upgrade each building and the construction period, before the buildings becomes solid and live.

The user guide is divided into seven sections, the first section deals with Standard Airplanes, Guest Airplanes, Special Airplanes, Guest Mail Airplanes, Tropical Airplanes and Mysterious Airplane Chests, the second section deals with S1 Class Type Airplanes, the third section deals with S2 Class Type Airplanes, the fourth section deals with S3 Class Type Airplanes, the fifth section deals with How To Obtain Gold Tokens and Silver Tokens, the sixth section deals with Airplanes Purchased During Discounted Super Sales and the seventh section deals with The Airplane Liveries.

Additional Information - Other Types of Planes
Besides the standard, S1, S2 and S3 class type planes, there are also a number of other types of planes, which I have included here. The reason for listing these planes, is to provide you with a more complete picture, as to the different types of planes available:

Guest Planes - Swallow planes, Owl planes, Hawk planes, Raven planes, Eagle planes, Jumbo planes, Giant planes, Falcon planes, Thunderbird planes and Condor planes. All these types of planes will land at your airport and pay you small amounts of rewards, fuel, coins, passengers, repair items and experience points (the rewards will depend on the type of plane landing). They will also drop items to complete collections that reward you with more coins, experience points, flight items and buildings. They can only land at the airport if you allow them to do so, you will have the option to refuse, if you are not able to land them, due to not having the right class of runway.​

You will then be able to view the 5 items that will be required, to complete each of the 10 alliance collections.

SECTION FIVE - HOW TO OBTAIN GOLD TOKENS AND SILVER TOKENS
There are four options available to you for the collection of gold tokens and silver tokens, during long term game play, which you can then use to purchase your planes:

Option One - the space program, by taking part in multiple red launch flights and completing the Water World collection, you will receive 5,000 gold coins, 2,000 experience points and a golden chest (inside there will be 3 gold tokens, 10 silver tokens, 150 fuel units and two items needed for space launch preparation). You will also be awarded a Rocket Garden, every time you complete three Water World collection flights.
Option Two - flying adventure maps, each map will cost 2,000 gold coins and can only be purchased from the airship. When you complete a set, you will receive rewards of gold coins and experience points (the amount will depend on the completed set e.g. 1,600 gold coins and 600 experience points or 2,000 gold coins and 1,000 experience points) and rewarded with one of the following two chests Golden Chest (3 gold tokens, 10 silver tokens, 150 fuel units, and two items needed for spaceship launch preparation), Large Bronze Chest (1 gold token, 6 silver tokens, 50 fuel units, and an item needed for spaceship launch preparation).​
By completing each adventure set six times you will also be rewarded with one collectable item, and a building which will produce one collectable item per day and also increase your city population by +50. You can view all 19 adventure sets by clicking on the collections tab (the fourth icon along the bottom of your game screen, then select the fifth icon down, on the left hand side) and then scroll.
Option Three - the space program, by finishing in the top 3 places on the ratings table, following a full week of flights, for any one of the three space missions, Apogee Mission, Prometheus Mission and Lunar Mission you will be rewarded with the following chests, which will include gold and silver tokens:
Apogee Mission - Green Rocket Class
1st place finish - Golden Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 10 gold tokens, 20 silver tokens, 300 fuel units and 300 passengers)​
2nd place finish - Silver Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 7 gold tokens, 15 silver tokens, 150 fuel units and 150 passengers)​
3rd place finish - Bronze Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 5 gold tokens, 10 silver tokens, 50 fuel units and 50 passengers)​
Prometheus Mission - Blue Rocket Class
1st place finish - Golden Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 10 gold tokens, 20 silver tokens, 300 fuel units and 300 passengers)​
2nd place finish - Silver Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 7 gold tokens, 15 silver tokens, 150 fuel units and 150 passengers)​
3rd place finish - Bronze Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 5 gold tokens, 10 silver tokens, 50 fuel units and 50 passengers)​
Lunar Mission - Red Shuttle Class
1st place finish - Golden Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 10 gold tokens, 20 silver tokens, 300 fuel units and 300 passengers)
2nd place finish - Silver Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 7 gold tokens, 15 silver tokens, 150 fuel units and 150 passengers)
3rd place finish - Bronze Space Chest (Quantum Leap Bonus, 5 gold tokens, 10 silver tokens, 50 fuel units and 50 passengers)
Option Four - purchase of gold and silver tokens, with this you will need to spend money, the prices will vary considerably, depending on the number of gold and silver tokens on offer. You will need to visit the bank (click on the green notes icon, in the top right hand corner of your game screen), to see all the offers on sale.

With these four options, the first is by far the easiest, since it requires you to complete a Water World collection. The second option, requires you to purchase an adventure map, each map will cost 2,000 gold coins, many maps will be required before you complete a set. The third option, will require you to fly a good few hundred flights, across seven days of game play. The fourth option, will require you to spend some money.

With the first option, you are guaranteed to complete the flight collection and receive both sets of tokens, given time and patience. With the second option, the amount of gold coins you spend buying maps may well outweigh what you may get back in return. With the third option, there are no guarantees you will finish in the top 3, of any space mission vehicles, since you will be competing against other players, who will be far more experienced and advanced in their game play. With the fourth option, it could become expensive.

For more information on the space program, you will need to read through the following two user guides ,The Airport City Space Program - How To Undertake Apogee, Prometheus and Lunar Space Mission Launch Flights and The Airport City Space Program - How To Secure First Place Seat Position By Effectively Dealing With Hi-Jackers. These two user guides will tell you what you will need to know and what you will need to do, when you enter the space program.

Grateful for wealth of info about game aspects, especially from non hardcore fans, it will save annoyance, regrets & gives ppl details on how to plan their game exp.
Many thanks for your post and for expressing your thoughts about the user guides - I very much value feedback from players.

Also, I had not realised that 9 months have passed since I last looked at this user guide. I will need to find some time and read through and check the information for any changes to the game.
