Upgrading the gates is key, and then, when you get them, make sure they stay used 100% since they load/unload much faster.

Also, if you bring planes in on the bottom runways and head out on the top ones, things seem to flow a lot better with the mx and fuel at the top. I was doing it the other way around.

Just my .02.

I dont get what it means by puting the big planes at the end of combos, what combos? lol

Taking off early, you get more money when they do them from the same runway within a certain time.

So the trick is to keep the gates the same color. Nice.

Speed isn't nearly as important as I thought.

Will anyone bust $1M?

ya'all can just kiss my arse.

is there a way to make the playing field bigger (besides just reducing my rez)? @ 16x12, i have a huge problem telling exactly which color some of the planes are (yellowish/brownish, greenish/brownish). of course im somewhat colorblind which doesnt exactly help, but if they were a bit bigger it would make a huge difference.

also, does which runway you use for takeoffs of relevance? or is it purely time-dependant?

mountainman · Post by **mountainman** » Thu Sep 10, 2009 11:40 pm

The only way I could think to make it bigger is to download it and play full-screen(?).

As for runways, use as few as possible and always takeoff/land using the same (i.e. takeoff from 1 and land on 2). You'll get bonuses as you build them up.

992,xxx so far. LOL

is it best to use the improved runway for take off or landing, what does it do?

mountainman · Post by **mountainman** » Fri Sep 11, 2009 1:38 pm

I used it for landing, but I'm not too sure. I bet it also keeps the multiplier going for longer.

Keep at it! It's all in trying to keep the planes at the same color gates. Even if it means an open gate of another color while something else waits, it's worth it.

Ya but you lose points for each block of the bar that goes down too. So if you make them wait you need to make sure you get a combo out of them leaving the same time too.
