Personally I would do it. I have 2 silver jumbos, and 1 silver falcon, and next am going for a gold S2. They do break down, but don't think they are more frequent - you can repair immediately using a greenie or two, but otherwise just wait between 8 and 12 hours, and they are repaired. The flights are shorter than normal planes, and they look good!!!!

Onboard fires seem reasonable, no issues with passenger death rates, and as they are a higher class looking plane, they attract a better clientele, so less anti social behaviour issues!

Thanks for feedback - will purchase plane after land purchase. A high class plane and a better class of clientele is what is needed to raise standards and prices, since we are not a charity.

LOL - I'm still new to this game so I may just be gullible here, but is this true?!?!? This happens later in the game?

There have been attempts to keep things hush, hush but people talk and passenger safety comes first, before company profits.

Another strategy question...

It looks like I should reach level 31 (Runway 5!) at about the same time I reach $80K to upgrade my terminal.

Should I upgrade the runway first? I assume its going to be pricey, and will only use it to land guest planes for some time before I save enough for whatever comes after Deltas...

Go for the runway first - the larger class 5 guest planes drop more goodies(passengers and coins plus specials). Go for the terminal later by organizing your flights to best utilize the aircraft you have.

Hey look, I got my banner!

The banner looks really good, some day me to.

I have 4 carriage workshops and have been trying to get just 1 single carriage body out of them for the last 2 days. I have 3 of 3 of everything else. May switch to bonuses and see if that helps. I WANT THAT BUILDING!!! Also noted that ring drops from planes seems to have stopped - maybe because I have all I need?

You may have to buy, for 18 greenies, a box or two from Maden to get the missing items needed to finish the event. I bought two and my missing items were made complete!

Yah-hoo!!!!!!!!! Bought one - had what I needed. Thank you.

Course, I spent some of my expansion greenies, but worth it!

@Wired Parrott, AWESOME, Thank you . Thank you. Thanks to the neighborhood for helping each other, words cannot express how lucky we are to have each other......Doc

 

[Wired Parrott]

@Doc glad to help, also good to know my memory is not totally shot......yet.

@cats are awesome
Congratulations on your achievement!!!

This event is a no go for me. I get one or less items per day. I have yet to complete any collection. It's good I don't care any more; cause if I cared, I'd be angry. Just gonna fly on a little bit every day.

On the discussions of disasters as ill passengers & such; I would not like that. I did not like that feature in Sim City and was really glad it could be disabled. Those cities really were hard to get started. These are easy to start but take a lot of perseverance to move along. There is too much luck n this game. I don't do well with luck items.

If anyone wants to be neighbors, send a code; but let me know.
That reminds me; I hit a game limit of 500 total neighbors. That includes the 200 or so on my list and the 300 or so wanting to get in. I had to delete some of those waiting before I could open the game to play yesterday. I think I'll soon delete most of them. I usually don't delete for fear I may find out who they are some day. Make sure I know if you sent me an invite.

My needs are in my signature. My needs are uniquely mine; not necessarily what you would like to get.

happy flying all,
Comet18

Gifts are out for the night - thanks to all for gifts, thoughts and opinions this evening. Will start watching for fireballs and body bags dropping from certain guest planes now.

@PeterNL - looks like you are back in my hood...

 

[Aero Aereola]

...that feature in Sim City...

God I loved that game... I wasted many an hour on Sim City 2000...

 

[Ten33go]

Roller Coaster Tycoon (1,2,3) and The Sims (1,2,3, etc.) were pretty good as well.

Yeah, me too.

Uh huh, I really miss Roller Coaster Tycoon. I've tried to get it to run on this computer, but can't figure out how. I think we did 1 & 2 but not 3. I only did sims 2. I didn't like it as much, but my kid wasted many hours into it. I like the strategy aspects of these games the best. We had all sorts of sims and tycoon games. I'd better sign off before I go try to resurrect one of them again. geez, it doesn't take much to side track me. Good Night all

 

[Ten33go]

@Comet18 - I tried Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 on 8.1, but it wouldn't load Soaked. And I never put it back on, may have to give it another whirl. Not sure about RC 1 and 2, been a long time for those. I only made it to Sims 2 also, and liked the 2nd one better. Never got around to 3 though, maybe one day when I find it in the bargain bin.

Just my opinion: Concentrate on your delta's and powerful delta's - there are a lot of flights to be done there - and that's after you've done most of your jet flights.

I upgraded my terminal first to allow 520 passengers. Now I'm working on upgrading my control tower (200,000) so I can get a powerful delta, then sell off one of my jets, so I can have 3 deltas and a powerful delta. After those are flying, I'm going to work on upgrading the runway.

I'm sure there will be lots of people with other ideas that work for them - I just wanted to get the 200,000 coin thing out of the way first!

I agree, but I wouldn't sell the jet if you can avoid it - it will come in useful for events, and also there re other destinations from excavation flights and alliance maps that can earn points, and also stars further down the line. I have one of most plane types so I can get the stars up, but also fly them to the space destinations to keep feeding launches - just my opinion, and as I have said before it s the sheer variety of strategies that makes this game so exciting!

You're right - right now I have 3 jets, will cut down to 2 until all flights are 3-starred, then probably just 1. Hopefully by then I will have jumbos and giants!! I think I'm looking pretty far into the future.
