Just leveled up, guess what I can send now, yep, it's an edge banding machine! I just sent you one.

Thanks BELLA!
I received it.
I returned you a fuel hose as you've mentioned it in your screen name.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks, I figured I'd start hoarding Fuel Hoses now. Looking at needs for flight, fuel hose is pretty necessary for a ton of future destinations.

Hey everyone;

Good morning! Thanks for gift received especially for repair centre (@skiv, @Ten33go) - now in process of upgrading to go to jets.

A question for your collective wisdom: flying 3 turboprops, one very powerful prop plane and have 4 hangars. Should I get rid of an airplane to accommodate a jet or build hangar #5 (and upgrade tower)? Prop plane has been great to go to Egypt/Cyprus and collect occasional stuff while I was waiting on other things. Obviously will need stuff for tower upgrade....

thanks
OB

From my experience in the game, I always did my flights and reach my expert level (stars) before changing for other planes, but it's your decision.

Hi All,

No Worries, I have the details for the Flyers League Table.

How did I not recall you were in the launch.
At least my error won't affect the F.L.T. good to
have a better mind working on these things.

I would ditch the powerful prop as the few things that may come up for them are not very rewarding either coin or
experience wise. As far as getting a jet many stick to one type and finish the stars for all destinations as @rocky
stated. If you try and do events it is sometimes advantageous to have a couple/few types of planes as at lower levels
money to buy and sell planes at will is harder to come by. As far as the tower and another hangar it is always a good
option to move in that direction assuming you have the fuel and passengers to accommodate another plane.

This is where everyone plays different, so your choice - I upgraded at least one plane as soon as I could - that way you can collect more items, and I found I needed them for various buildings etc. I also like to keep one of each of the lower level plane alongside my large ones, for events and quests, and also for various map collections later. So, if I have one each of the turboprop, jet, delta etc. I need somewhere to fly them. My logic in your case would be to use my 4 hangers, and fly 2 turnboprops, 1 power prop and 1 jet, and start aiming for 5 and the next aircraft. As you get going you can keep flying the turboprops until you have 3 stars for each destination, go down to 1 which you can keep flying to destinations that drop space items such as Cape Canaveral, and fly 2 of the enxt plane.

B it of a ramble, but I currently fly 1 turbo prop, 1 jet, 1 delta, 1 powerful delta, 2 jumbos, 3 giants and 2 falcons. My next plan when I have 3 starred a couple more giant destinations is to change one for a thunderbird. I have 3 starred all normal destinations up to giant, but not the map ones yet, and the quests need them.

We each play differently, and you need to choose your style.

Yeah! You r right.
And plz help me with EDGE BANDING for next few days so that I can have a building for new destinations.
I'll send you FUEL HOSE.
Thanks btw.

You have received some excellent advice. There are so many dimensions to this game! I would like to add another. The Five Islands Crests collection gives you a very useful bonus for events - the spyglass. Now that I finally have a p-delta and can fly to Iceland, I am stocking up on these which all started with the Cyprus Crest. For some reason I have a lot of Bali Crests (those of you who participated in the Age of Ash event can laugh or groan now ). Takes a long time to pay off but I'm getting ready for the next event!

This game is all about managing limited resources and every time you think you are finished with a type of plane or a destination or a flight item, it will come back to haunt you. For instance, in the last event, the first task was a flight to Egypt. Those players with a p-prop in their reserve hangar were able to pat themselves on the back, make the flight, and move on. Those without were faced with the dilemma - was this going to be a one-time flight or was Egypt going to be integral destination for the event? Sell a plane to buy a p-prop for one flight or pay the 1 greenie (heaven forbid) to rent a plane for the flight? The point I'm making is that whatever decision you make, sometimes in the future, you will question it. So have fun, play, and deal with it when it comes up!

This is so true. In time of last event/quest, i just did not have any turboProp planes. Only Thunderbirds, Falcons and Giants. So i was forced to sold 4 Giants and 4 Falcons, and bought 8 TurboProp's Then I sold them, bought Jet's, then Delta, etc... On that was I was able to achieve more stars and got needed items.... Yes, sometimes strategy is painful

[David Toad]

Just updated my list of stuff I can send in my signature. Did not notice but this does seem to change as I go through the levels and/or update my game. If anyone wants any stuff from it, please let me know. If anyone is able to assist with the antennas for my mission control centre level 3, then of course that would be most welcome!

Best Regards

David

[Wired Parrott]

Anyone know who Ucker 2016 is? I am thinking it might be someones support account
it showed up in WP2's list and looking at my spreadsheet I see everyones main but don't
list supports in it. Kind of necessary to find out as being the small item launch account I can
not have random players in there.

 

[BelleAIr]

I have a couple people on my list as well that I know are from the forums...or at least I assumed they have to be as they always send me exactly what I am asking for in my signature, but I have not been able to find them on the forums. I basically decide, when in doubt, send flight items matching their level (fuel hose, osc beacon, and flight catering seem to be a good go to) or fuel catalyst.

 

[Captain WH Rollins]

@Wasted Eagle - many thanks for the last power source, my Repair Base (L3) is now complete, solid and very much live. Roll on the jet planes.
