Pocket Planes Cheats And Tips. Whether you're a Pocket Planes addict who's been unable to resist the lure of Nimble Bit's latest game, or you're completely new to their hellishly addictive brand of business sims, we've got all the tips, cheats and tricks you'll need to become the next Richard Branson.
Game Introduction – Pocket PlanesOh, hello. I didn’t see you there! I was too busy building airports and being captivated by the cuteness of all these Bitizens. I suppose we should get started on this breakdown of Pocket Planes, an airline management game from the likes of NimbleBit. Players are tasked with operating and expanding an airline all their own, a feat that’s both enjoyable and well within reach. Gamezebo’s quick start strategy guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game.Quick Start GuideGetting Started. Pocket Planes begins with a brief tutorial on the basics.
To start, you must load a passenger and some cargo onto your first plane. Tap the plane icon on the bottom left (glowing orange), and you’ll be taken to the loading area. Once there, choose the “load” option on the right side (glowing orange). Next, choose the icon in the bottom center with a plane and an arrow. Once you’ve chosen it, you’ll be taken to a map featuring different key areas. Choose the destination of the cargo/passengers (glowing orange).

After that, tap the green ‘fly!’ icon. Speaking of the map, you’re free to look at it any time. Just press the map icon on the bottom right of the screen, and you’re there. You’re able to zoom in and out, which is a great way to get a feel for the steps you need to take to build the greatest airline there ever was.
Congratulations! You’ve achieved flight. Pat yourself on the back and get ready to make a big decision: Where you want to start your airplane empire.
My advice is to choose the location closest to you, as seeing the names of locations you’re familiar with really enhances the experience. Or, if you want to be bold, begin somewhere like Asia. There’s really no wrong answer!How to Play:. Hey there, newly-minted pilot.
How does it feel? Pretty good, I presume. It’s time to get started on delivering people and cargo, and expanding your reach in the process. Progression is linked to a leveling system, and your level is always shown at the bottom of the screen. Levels are gained from consistently making deliveries, and leveling up affords you the ability to build airports in new locations. Just as you were shown in the tutorial, you must load up your planes (you’ll start with four), and get them flying.
I recommend getting all of them up in the air immediately, as it will lead to you leveling up faster. Of course, you’ll be able to purchase a single new airport before you hit level 2.
I understand the urge to build one somewhere far away and exotic, but it’s important to build one within the range of the planes in your arsenal. These airports vary in price, but you’ll have enough to purchase one in your vicinity from the start. Some planes can only carry cargo; others can only carry passengers. Because of this – amongst other factors – there won’t always be jobs available. The game will inform you when new jobs are available, and it’s never a bad idea to check for them on a regular basis.
As you carry on with sending planes into the massive skies above, you’ll eventually hit level 2. It’s at this point you’re ready to purchase yet another airport. This exact process will be repeated throughout your time with Pocket Planes, the endgame being to build up the most far-reaching airplane empire out there.Speaking the lingo:.
In Pocket Planes, there are two types of currency: Bux and Coins. With Bux, you can do things like update the range, speed and weight of your planes, purchase parts to build planes, purchase entire planes, and cause your plane to immediately arrive at its destination. With coins, you can build new airports, upgrade pre-existing airports and advertise travel to increase demand. The game will provide you with 15 Bux and a few thousand coins at the start, and you can always swap Bux for more coins whenever you have them (more on that soon).Menu:.
There’s a lot going on in the menus of Pocket Planes, but it takes very little time to understand it all. Stats – A breakdown of your airline value, number of airports, and other such info.
It’s a great way to keep tabs on your progress, as well as learn a thing or two about how you’re running your airline. Events – A list of events currently going on, as well as the duration they’re going on for. Bank – Here you’ll be able to swap Bux for coins. The more Bux you swap, the better the transfer rate between them.
Airpedia – Shows what planes you currently have, as well as the ones you’re capable of unlocking. I won’t spoil anything, but believe me when I say there are some pretty amazing ones. Logs – Informs you of what your planes are currently up to, including how long it will take for them to arrive to their destinations.
If they’re currently lazing about on the floor of an airport, well, it will remind you of that too. Market – Where you go to purchase new planes and new parts. When you have all the parts required to build a new plane, you can do so under the ‘parts’ section of the menu. Flight Crew – Where you go to establish a crew. By using the same crew name, you can see what your friends are up to as well as current rank. Get Bux – Okay, so the name kind of speaks for itself, but here is where you go to purchase Bux.
The more you buy, the better the rate you get them at. Scores – Where you go to check your leaderboard status, along with where you rank amongst friends. Awards – Allows you to check what achievements you’ve earned, as well as the ones you need to earn.
Settings – Here you can toggle how frequently the game will send you notifications, as well as turn off sounds. You can also reset the game, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Bitbook – This is one of my favorite sections of the game.
In it, you can read entertaining quips from various Bitizens. I’ve lost count of how many have put a smile on my face. Free Games – takes you to an App Store listing of NimbleBit’s other games. Like Sky Burger!The planes:. There’s a lot of variety in the planes. Some of them have better range, can hold more passengers/cargo, move faster, and have less weight.
You can learn more about each of them in the Airpedia section, and I recommend spending some time there before purchasing or building any.Bringing it home:. And with that, I’m confident you’re now equipped to be a bona fide Captain of the Skies. Expand your airline, keep those planes in the air as much as you possibly can, and most of all, enjoy yourself! If you find yourself in need of a little more guidance, the list of tips below should do the trick.Tips:. Put a lot of thought into where you want to place airports. The better the placement, the quicker you can expand your airline.
The game allows you to name your planes. Doing so will help you better remember which is which. Extra money is awarded when you take more than one person or item to a single place. Micromanaging your planes at first will enable you to create an empire you don’t have to tend to as much. Level up as much as you can right off the bat.
Don’t get distracted by the cuteness of the Bitizens. Not even when they yawn. Coins and bux will occasionally float by the planes while they’re up in the air. If you tap them, they’re added to your funds. Bux are best spent on range at first, as delivering people and items to faraway places will help you streamline the expansion of your franchise. Let your real-life schedule dictate how you play.
If you have a lot of free time, send your planes out on short-distance excursions. When time is more of a factor, indulge in some longer journeys and return to the game later.
We give you 10 tips, straight from the developer, on how to make your fleet a hitThere have been plenty of flight simulators over the years, but very few games have tackled the experience of being the CEO of a burgeoning airline. Pocket Planes does just that, putting mobile gamers in an airline boss's chair, letting them expand their service all over the digital globe.Pocket Planes is all about time and resource management. You have to know where to expand, when to send out your planes, when to upgrade your fleet, and when to call it a day because all of your airports are snowed in. While some of these strategies might come to you naturally, we decided to go right to the source.
Ian Marsh, one of the developers at Nimblebit, was kind enough to offer up 10 tips to running a successful airline. We've supplemented those tips with some handy advice on how best to implement them. With our help, you'll be running the next Pan Am in no time! Always fly full! ALWAYS FLY FULL!Marsh: This may sound obvious, but above starting with a full plane of passengers to drop off along your route, you get a 25% bonus in coins when your plane is full of passengers going to the same destination.You'll maximize your profits by sending a full plane to the same location.
A good way to do this (especially if you're trying to fill a plane with four or more seats) is to leave a half-full plane waiting at an airport. When new jobs come in, the passengers you've already loaded on your plane will remain, and the new jobs are likely to match them. Keep waiting until your plane is full of passengers all going to the same place.
Of course, if you'd rather not babysit the game, you can always just send out the plane with a bunch of passengers or cargo going to around the same region. You won't get the 25% bonus, but it's better than nothing. Spread your wings! Spread your wings!Marsh: Avoid clumping your cities in small groups, and unlock cities at the edge of the range of your planes.Having two cities right next to each other is only helpful early in the game, when you're trying to make some extra scratch. Once you start expanding, note the range of your planes (indicated by a green circle whenever you're selecting your route).
The idea is to expand to airports that are right on the edge, but still inside, that circle. That'll give you the most bang for your expansion. Fly straight!
FLY STRAIGHT!Marsh: The straighter your route, the more profitable it will be. Avoid routes with large curves or sharp angles.What did your math teacher always say?
The quickest route between two points is a straight line. This remains true in Pocket Planes. If you're constantly sending your planes on routes that have sharp zigzags, you're not maximizing your profit. A good way to ensure this?
Only expand to airports that are mostly level with your other airports. That way, all your routes will be mostly straight and you'll save on gas money. Start a sister airline 4. START A SISTER AIRLINEMarsh: If you'd like to participate in an event halfway around the world, you can open up cities that have no connection to the rest of your airline.
Just remove a plane or two and re-commission them wherever you like.Worldwide events let you team up with friends to form a flight crew (might we suggest the #Polygon flight crew?) and send passengers and cargo to the same city over the course of a few days. The chosen city is often well out of the range of any of the airports you've already built. You could try to spend a bunch of money, expanding all the way to the event, but there's an easier way. Just build an airport where the event is going down, and then build one or two airports in the vicinity of that event. You can decommission some of the planes already in service and then re-commission them in the area of the event (for the cost of a few Bux). Once the event ends, you can shutter those airports and move the planes back into your main route, cash in hand. Use layovers 5.
USE LAYOVERSMarsh: If there is a leg of your route that only bigger planes can take, pool jobs at the endpoints with smaller planes! Unloading a job in a city other than their start city will save them until you can pick them up again.The only way to make it from Los Angeles to Honolulu is to use a class 2 plane.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't fill up a class 1 plane with passengers or cargo heading to Hawaii! Just fill it up and send them to Los Angeles. Once they land, they'll wait as layovers until you're ready to pick them up with a class 2 plane. Even better, you'll still earn the full value of the flight, not just the value of going from LA to Honolulu. Upgrade your planes 6. UPGRADE YOUR PLANESMarsh: Planes can be upgraded in three categories to give them slightly more range or speed, or make them a little cheaper to fly.Upgrading planes can absolutely make your fleet more profitable, though you should be wary of how you upgrade, since it's liable to cost plenty of Bux.
If one of your planes is just out of reach of a major airport, it might be a good idea to expand that plane's range by 5%, giving you that extra hop, skip, and jump. Just remember: Don't get attached to your planes. If you find yourself constantly needing to upgrade your fleet, it might be time for entirely new planes instead. Collect parts instead of building whole planes 7. COLLECT PARTS INSTEAD OF BUYING WHOLE PLANESMarsh: You can save some Bux by collecting the three parts needed for a plane, then building it from the parts menu.Even though you're given the option to buy whole planes in the market, you should always just buy parts. Buying three parts and putting them all together is always going to cost you fewer Bux than buying the whole plane in one go. Just be patient and keep checking the market, as the stock will change every 10 minutes or so.
Shutter airports 8. SHUTTER AIRPORTSMarsh: Sometimes it makes sense to close an existing airport to expand in other regions. Closing an airport gives you back half its cost and frees up construction of another airport.This is a big one.
Not only is it a good idea to expand into other regions, shutting down an airport ensures that no new jobs will request flying there. If you find that you keep sending jobs to Fairbanks but can't seem to get any decent jobs for the flight back, shut it down and expand into a larger airport.
Which leads us to. Buy big cities 9. BUY BIG CITIESMarsh: Saving up for a blue or red city can really change the game due to the much higher number of jobs available in them.Class 1 airports are the smallest, marked by a black dot.
Class 1 airports get the fewest number of jobs, which makes it tough to fill planes. The best use of these small airports, especially once you have a few major airports, is to use them as puddle-jumpers. A single Class 1 airport can connect two major airports (blue or red) across a country, letting smaller planes make the trip while giving them tons of jobs when they finally get there. Hit up friends for parts 10. HIT UP FRIENDS FOR PARTSMarsh: Plane parts can be sent to friends (at a small cost) making plane crafting that much easier through trades or sheer generosity!If you happen to have a friend who is considerably farther ahead in the game, they're likely to be sitting on a bunch of planes and parts they don't need.
They can break down those planes into parts and then send the parts to you at a relatively small Bux cost, giving you a leg up in your early game. Just don't resort to begging, please.
