Seems like that might have been a challenge from the beta or launch day jitters if you didn't get a prize :(

Chopper · (06-13-2012, 07:28 PM)

Can you mix airplane parts from other models or does it have to be the exact model to build them?

Exact model.

And for those who are yet to work it out, for reference purposes, "P" indicates a plane that carries People, "C" carries Cargo, and "M" carries both. I think

Yeah, M for Mixed.

My wife is going to hate me. She complained because I took my iPad everywhere around the house so I could keep on top of the Tiny Tower tasks. And now it's going to begin again.

Letep · (06-13-2012, 07:37 PM)

When is this out? I just searched on the app store, no good.

Chopper · (06-13-2012, 07:38 PM)

If we get these prizes, have I earnt the right to not test the save transfer when our own versions hit?!

I was going to ask you directly on Twitter, but you seem to have come through and answered me here anyways.

Synchronous.

Thanks for the info!

Wario64 · (06-13-2012, 07:44 PM)

I still don't get the missions. You just fly over to the spot it mentions or what?

im thinking so. they seem to place the events in locations you cant start at, so some work must be done. i relocated to central america. ill be lucky to have a plane that can reach calgary by the end of the week.

Yeah man. Someone already has 9 points!

Tunesmith · (06-13-2012, 07:57 PM)

Subscribed to thread, this will be deadly addicting just like Tiny Tower.

speedpop · (06-13-2012, 07:58 PM)

The game seems to have constant issues with the notification system when you put the iPhone to sleep. Hopefully that gets sorted out soon.

Just don't put the phone to sleep. Play Pocket Planes until your battery dies

I laughed pretty hard at this.

Emerson · (06-13-2012, 08:08 PM)

Finally can get to Calgary so I should be able to start contributing now.

wetflame · (06-13-2012, 08:09 PM)

Is there no way to disable the vibration? My girlfriend is already getting annoyed by the constant buzzing.

Chanser · (06-13-2012, 08:12 PM)

GAFAIR: Why do I keep thinking it's a African airline.

Pachterballs · (06-13-2012, 08:14 PM)

How soon before zygna or whoever it was rips them off with a clone? Sadly, this isn't something I want to get into. TT was annoyingly addictive but annoying

Silent mode? I agree I hate it. There's a reason why not many games have vibration

I need about 7000 coins to get to Calgary, then I'll start rolling in those missions

I had to disable vibration in the system settings, annoyingly enough. I'm sure they'll give the option in a future update.

speedpop · (06-13-2012, 08:21 PM)

I'm really enjoying this though. Will be interesting to see if I stick with it in 2 weeks time since I stopped playing Tiny Towers within that time period.

toythatkills · (06-13-2012, 08:28 PM)

Anyone that stops playing is an actual TRAITOR.

#GAFAIR needs you!

Stormwatch · (06-13-2012, 08:32 PM)

How the hell did I miss this game! I played the hell out of Tiny Tower and I'm currently an Aircraft Dispatcher in real life. This is TOTALLY my game :) I'll be joining #GafAir tonight!

Henk_Glimlach · (06-13-2012, 08:43 PM)

I'll join #GafAir tonight. When it arrives in EU store.

You didn't miss it. Its not technically out in most places yet.

Wario64 · (06-13-2012, 08:48 PM)

We got 1 point in the current mission right now. Ranked 4 of 4...lol

Reluctant-Hero · (06-13-2012, 08:50 PM)

Pretty damn hyped for this game after learning about it's existence this morning through Wario's twitter feed.

Man, I've been slacking on iOS lately. But that'll change tonight!

Emerson · (06-13-2012, 08:50 PM)

My point, I do believe!

speedpop · (06-13-2012, 08:52 PM)

I should be able to get the Perth mission in a few hours.

nicoga3000 · (06-13-2012, 08:55 PM)

So is our starting location important for missions?

speedpop · (06-13-2012, 08:57 PM)

There are missions all over the place atm. A few in North America, one in North Africa, one in Scandinavia, one in Hawaii, one in Australia.

I like the fact that parts of the east coast of Australia are (rightfully) hitting sunrise, so my planes flying to and fro are constantly switching between night and dawn depending on how close they get to the coast.

So is the mission that shows up in the Flight Crew page different depending on where you are then?

MiniBossBattle · (06-13-2012, 09:02 PM)

Can't wait to start this game up tonight.

panama chief · (06-13-2012, 09:03 PM)

at some point all of us will have the entire world to travel, but wouldnt it make sense to spread out so we can attack all events? my main airport is in guatemala and heading north. if anyone else started in guatemala.....head south.

speedpop · (06-13-2012, 09:05 PM)

And everything just got wiped. Lovely.

I have no idea.

Yeah, probably a good strategy. I'm in the Southwest US.

I'm in the Northeast US/Canada. Expanding North and West.

EDIT: #GAFAIR is the way to go.

Flunkie · (06-13-2012, 09:21 PM)

I will OWN midwest.

Item_Screen · (06-13-2012, 09:27 PM)

How does iCloud work for this game? I'd like to play it on iPad at home, but iPhone on the go, without having 2 separate games.

Wario64 · (06-13-2012, 09:27 PM)

Oh nevermind, I'm dumb. lol forget what I said.

dantehemi · (06-13-2012, 09:29 PM)

Is this game not out yet in Canada? I can't find it anywhere on the app store.

Henk_Glimlach · (06-13-2012, 09:34 PM)

I'll pick Europe. And then first to the west and north.

Pastry · (06-13-2012, 09:35 PM)

Nope it should come out later tonight depending on your timezone. I'm in Central Time so games usually come out on the app store around 10:45 or 11 here.

Goo plan. I've got Mid/East Europe sorted.

Wario64 · (06-13-2012, 09:45 PM)

These are the next upcoming events for new comers that want to build around the mission areas

Last one is Port Hedland

The Calgary mission is 3 days though so it might be a while I guess..?

Item_Screen · (06-13-2012, 09:47 PM)

I spent all my bucks on parts, but I'm missing at least one part each to build 3 or 4 different planes.
