Gifts sent for today. Thank you all for your gifts.
I have a question: Is it possible to finish 100 flights to Arctic Station in 12 hours???

 

[gbswales]

So Close to completion!
Mission Control Centre L2 - only need 1 each of Spaceship Launch Console and Optical System
Cosmic Fuel Station need only 3 Laser Level and 2 Robot testers
and in Two days time I will need one more Defroster to finish my Catering Facility
You have all helped me so much to get this far without spending any cash so I will hold on for a few more days in case some of you can help, before buying any items.
I am still managing to return all gifts but people sending me these items will get priority if I start to run out of gifting items. Please tell me here what you would like in return for them

Only if you know magic.

With a boat load of fuel you can. Well, actually more of a freighter of fuel. Or a huuuge amount of cash.
Or, like the Cap'n said: Magic!

Wow - can't believe I am going to be the first in a thread - you really must all be sleeping this week! - Off to do my gifting now, happy flying folks

First in the weekly thread? @ItsRalphy - that's just showing off!

 

[Agent_L]

I have a question: Is it possible to finish 100 flights to Arctic Station in 12 hours???

It depends.
First thing to check is what day of week it is. If it's end of the week, it's very easy - just play whole week offline and then turn internet on as Sunday, 23:59 approaches - bam, surprise attack.
If it's Monday then it means that the person probably spent loads of fuel bonuses (16*3 = 48 fuel per flight, that 4800 fuel used, that's 240 gift barrels). Now 240 barrels is much, but if you have 20 dedicated neighbors - that's merely 11 days of gifting.
Third legit option is to blow almost 200 green cash. Unlikely, yet that's still merely $20 on cash sale. Plus, we have to keep in mind that GI sometimes compensate in cash for various critical bugs, so things like frustrated people with thousands of greens to spend happen, just like in this thread: http://airportcitygame.com/threads/another-supernatural-player.10284/

So I'd say - yeah, it's nothing really strange - until it becomes a pattern and/or repeats on many destinations at once.

 

[porvillewright]

Monitoring closely now and I would say that small aircraft landings have doubled and large (jumbo) have halved. I have submitted a ticket to GI asking them - no doubt they will claim it is random (even though we all know that computers dont do anything random!) I am curious to know if any other regular players are noticing the same.

My daily arrivals are much the same as yours and nothing to worry about. I will have a mix of aircraft then maybe 5 or 6 heavies in a row, followed by 2 or 3 turbos. Different times of the day factor in as well. You made a solid decision to buy the larger runway !

Seems clear. It happened this morning when I checked the Arctic Station. At least, it is just one person so I'll try to get 2nd or 3rd.

Because this is a destination that requires an item, and it's only Monday - I would back off, pick another destination and save the lamps for next week. Arctic Station is usually quite easy destination, so 100 flights in Monday that's damn strange.
But again, I don't play in PC rankings which are much tougher than on phones, I imagine.

Not so hard I think. In two weeks I have managed to make a top 3 and some top 10 with just 4 turboprops. I will make a try, since I want to get my 3 stars from the destination, till now i'm 3rd, close to the 2nd.

Well, I'm leveling and I'm doing #1 almost every week. One week I managed two at once with 5 jets. That's why I think WP is easy : )

@andreasmrg
Some advanced calculating:
With 4800 units of fuel (16 units + 32 speed up fuel times 100 flights) and of course 3800 passengers to match. When you have these resources you can probably do it within the hour...

Don't forget the passengers to match, Agent!

 

[Agent_L]

Don't forget the passengers to match, Agent!

Well, having enough passengers is merely the question of having enough buildings. We don't know what lvl the player has, but if that's a capped player revisiting old location, 3800 passengers in 16 hours wouldn't make him break a sweat.
