Did you upgrade Ottawa? I am using the same strategy: I've grounded all my planes so that I can scroll through all my airports (13 class 1 and two class 2) every job refresh to look for mystery parts. I scan more than "once or twice an hour", and so far I've only caught 6 mystery parts total. I advertise Ottawa, but have not upgraded it. I didn't think that made any difference for incoming jobs, but maybe it does...?
No, the only reason to upgrade Ottawa would be if you're picking up return trip jobs. Upgrading an airport does not increase jobs going to that airport, the only thing that does is advertising at Ottawa.
You're right about this, but I will add that sometimes the yellow box is on the very edge of the screen and can be sneaky so keep those eyes peeled xD WAIT! I just found a mystery box that was not in the main airport screen. It was probably because it was new york and that city just has too many jobs for the airport screen to hold... BEWARE OF AIRPORT SKIMMING :/ Edit: @kit It's going to be Kalgoorlie next!!!!!
Ahh, i just woke up after sleeping for the last six hours and Im back in the top 10. I can see castle, faye and vic in front of me.
Ah, finally got the game working again after the Mystery Box glitch. With a day left on the event, awesome! Sucks that this event hits right after I get my NA <> Asia route set up with my lone Aeroeagles. Goodbye coins!
I've been around #9 - #11 in spite of my babysitting most of the morning. Here are the list so far: #6 2806 nokitano #7 2804 vic sark (jiayou overtake nokitano ) #8 2722 faye #9 2273 #10 1966 ME (I was originally right below faye, but there were nearly 1000 jobs separating us LOL) #11 1947 coastcat (soon to be number #10 after I finish typing this post) #12 1816 teodor2004 (jiayou) #13 1682 JH3210 #14 1658 #15 1645 jiayou all.
On the where we are loading/unloading passengers/cargo, is there a quick way to scroll to the bottom of the screen? Or to tap unload without scrolling down? I'm unloading Ottawa P/C in New York and the unloads are right at the bottom of the screen. (In the same vein, is there a quick way to get to the bottom floor of Tiny Tower?)
No, no, and no. Annoying, isn't it? For loading up cities with layovers, sometimes I'll pick up one job for that city and the rest for the event city. This creates an open slot when the plane lands, at which point I'll tap the top-most available job to load it and then tap/hold it to unload everything at once. I haven't found any such workaround in Tiny Tower. You can zoom right to the top by clicking on the little tab that states how many floors you have, but getting back to the ground floor means scroll, scroll, scroll. CastlePage and I have been battling for position for much of this event! I've got the lead right now (2567 vs 2501), but am sure it won't last...
I so second that. Please NimbleTim, find a way to immediately go to the bottom of the passengers/cargo list! leaderboard update, nattles everywhere 1 4538 jonesy 2 4519 Northman 3 4201 exitar 4 4177 kenny 5 4019 nokitano 6 3824 Vic Sark 7 3445 Faye Val 8 3396 ??? 9 2738 theodor 10 2651 coastcat I'm making Bux at an extraordinary pace, I'm at 24800, was at 22500 yesterday (32 hours ago to be exact)! At 25k I make the exchange, buy 10 more plane slots and flood my Airports with Ottawa jobs lol Edit : I almost forgot, I found about 35/40 mystery parts (not sure how many as I had already a bunch of Blimp parts) Edit : Chicago closed again grrr
I hope they increase the number of layovers possible in the next update. 60 isn't enough anymore... What do you guys think about that? -PondusFM
Yeah, that's what I thought too. But my rate of mystery parts seems to be far less than what it was for the London event, and I had the same number airports generating inbound jobs at that time as I have now for Ottawa. The only difference would be the destination city itself (class 1 vs. class 3), which is why I thought an upgrade might help.
You need more planes to get the people out of there... They aren't happy about being layed-over. That's why they dont pay as much as the ones already waiting.
Okay, someone has programmed pure evil into the airport closures. First Chicago closed for an hour and I had to reroute everything to NY. I had been sending routes from North/South America to Chicago and Asia to NY. Oops, Istanbul shut down for an hour. Luckily I only had one plane stranded to the east, but that just adds to the many stranded in Chicago. Sigh. EDIT: Yay, I can move my stranded plane east from Seoul to Istanbul... oh, no I can't. Seoul closed down for an hour when Istanbul opened. This isn't a game, it's a psychological experiment.
It's done. I exchanged 25 000 Bux for 325 000 000 coins! Bought 11 more plane slots. Next slot (42th): 52 000 000 coins lol I'll post the pictures tomorrow, now going to bed (2am here)
