    The event's been on for hours (7 or 8? Or more?), and there are a lot of people in #TOUCHARCADE. I can easily believe that figure.

    Re: only showing 1st place and then 1000th place onwards or something, yes it does that for me sometimes. I don't know why.

    For the first part of your question regarding 22K in jobs, remember people from all over the world are playing. When its night on your continent, it's day on the other side of the world.

    I'm not sure if the leaderboard has a bug or just shows you the top ten of the global and individual rankings (which shows only the top ten around where you are in them).

    No. I imagine you can turn off iCloud backup on one of them, then it will stay separate from the other. But Pocket Planes was crashing and resetting if iCloud was off, I think that was fixed in the update but I'm not sure.

    Your iCloud account can be separate from your iTunes account, so you/your sister could set up a new iCloud account so you each have a different one.

    Just close an airport, choose one that gives you 3k or more back.

    I was just thinking my game canter is slower than normal.
    Nimblebit are sending me some goodies and planes to recover from my game reset, I'm assuming they are being sent through game centre.

    The stuff is coming through REALLY SLOW, I'm getting one plane every 5-10 minutes or so but nimblebit said they sent them, so I think apple is having problems.

    I hope this means I don't double lose my this lol!

    Hey guys, couple questions.

    1) I started in Europe, im level 6, is there any way I can help with the event or should I just make coins at the moment?

    2) what's the best way to make coins? Buy random close airports and do fast runs or save up for the bigger airports and start going international?

    Thanks, this game seems easy but I'm having a hard time getting used to it and progressing.

    While everyone is celebrating on their 100 bucks. I'm still waiting for mine. Did over 20 jobs in Calgary during the event. Anyone still missing out?

    Secondly, I started out in US West Coast. Anyone got a suggestion on how I can make a move to Brisbane to help for the event? It's pretty far to expand from where I am at such a low level (Level 7).

    I'm closing down most of my small airports because of the new bigger planes I have, there are just not enough jobs on those. I guess I have to close my hometown airport as well. :(

    So best way to get to brisbane is just unlock it and rockhampton?

    Is the prize plane even worth the coins and time required?

    Also- What plane unlocks at lv10? Should I start getting more kangaroos (I have two) or wait till better planes start coming in the market?

    I don't know, it seems more like a collector's item and there are only 10 bux to get, I'm still not sure if it's worth it...

    I'm now at level 10 and you get Birchcraft - which is class 2 by the way.

    I'm not even going to worry about the event. I want to start my expansion in Australia.

    I've got a nice little thing going on right now, seems to be working. I've got two navigators, one P one C. I have them going back and forth from LA to Phoenix picking up any New York people or cargo. That way I keep a nice amount of New York things on layover for my three 4 person/cargo planes to go from LA to New York pretty much non-stop. I'm netting around 1500 a trip. I currently have Seattle, LA, Phoenix, St. Louis, New York and a few airports around the event.
    I'll likely expand a bit on the east coast so that I can keep a fair amount on layover for the trip back as sometimes I'm not getting the 25% bonus on the return trip.

    I'm loving this game but there is only one thing that is slightly frustrating me, I have to play for 2-3 hours non stop to get to the next level to unlock the next airport. Is there any way of getting to the next level to get the next airports quicker. Although I now only need less than 30,000 xp to get to level 10.
