They didn’t think today’s missions through very well, did they?
Not at all. I had assumed they used a heuristic like: one hard, one easy, and one medium difficulty task. I completed two of today’s tasks without even realizing it.
Last week I was waiting for a flight to St Helena. Last country I need in Africa.
They cancelled it.
It’s on again tomorrow, so here’s hoping.
I’m hoping to catch that as well. I have only 2 countries left in Africa and 1 in Asia. 18 left in the world, plus Antarctica.
It turns out I did catch the Kyrgyzstan flight yesterday without knowing it. The destination it displayed just wasn’t what I was expecting. I’m sorry for doubting you, Kyrgyzstan.
Lots of ultras over the UK this weekend as there’s an airshow in Hampshire. The UK usually has good pickings anyway on weekends, but this weekend is especially tasty.
Thanks! I was able to get the Ultralight and finally complete the Scarce Master trophy.
I noticed that I no longer get trophy pop-ups. Neither that trophy or my first Cybercard trophy popped up.
Anyone have recommendations for where to find a Piper Saratoga?
There’s a page on flightaware that shows each aircraft type, its type ID, and the number currently airborne. Click on the ID and it brings up a page with a map that has a dot for each aircraft. Find one near an airport that you can travel to for cheap, and catch it. Don’t put too much faith in that page, though; I’ve seen occasions where a type was in flight but not on the page.
I searched last night and there were only 2 or 3 in the air. It’s not shown under the name “Saratoga” within the game; I think it calls it a Piper PA 32.
Did not get the St. Helena flight this week, but I know why I missed it. Should be able to find it next week. I’ll also be trying to get the rest of the Oceania countries. It’s kind of a mess of flights on different days to different islands. Honolulu seems like a good airport for next week. Guam too, but I suspect that would be a tough one to complete the tasks for.
Thanks for suggesting FlightAware. I had been trying to use FR24 in a similar way, but there were so few in the air that they were hard to see on the map. FlightAware is much clearer in that situation.
If anyone is still searching, there’s a couple of Piper PA-32’s north of JFK, near OXC:
- Piper PA-32R Lance
- Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six
One of them worked for the daily mission. Thanks @Robot_Arm for the PA-32 tip.
