Last minute flight for Excavation Maps

[Bali Hi]

As you know, excavation maps are active for 6 hours.
Fuel Catalysts speeds up flights by 14%.
S1 planes are also faster by 10%.

Question:
What is the last moment that your S1 plane must take off, using 2 fuel catalysts along the way, so that you can land before the 6 hour is up and take off again for a 2nd flight?

Has anyone actually calculated this??

You can also use a weather vean (or what is the english name?)
Flight is 5h23m. Will check later how many minutes the fuel cat. is.
Total time will be 5h23m- 2xfuel cat- reaction time.

with reaction time I mean, time to get the plane land, and get it back in the air. my game is unstable, black screen etc. it sometimes takes 5 minutes just to get the game started

5h23m (5h24m?) - 50m24s - 50m24s = 3h43m
Take 3h 45m so 2h15m after activating the map a plane can be sent away and returned within the duration of the map.
If you use a weather vean, I don't know what will happen....

flip123,

Yes, I came to the same conclusion.

• Regular plane = 360 minutes = 6h
• S1 (less 10%) = 324 minutes = 5 hr 24 min
• S1 with 2 catalyst (less 50.4 min each) = 324 - (50.4x2) min = 223.2 min = 3h 43 min
  (So last flight approx 2 hr 15 min after map activated to allow for "reaction time")

I did manage to fly 10 Giants in 2 hours, and they all returned in time. I just could not replenish passengers fast enough to send them off again, without using too much warehouse passengers.

Thanks for confirming it!

I took the times I saw flying to Honolulu....
