Xbox 360 Paper Plane V2.0 Game
Newsflash 13 Sept 07: We have been working hard on a brand new ‘time wasting’ game engine, that is based loosly on Paper Plane. Something to do with Halo3 and Golf… (go figure!) Watch this space, we will post a link here very soon… .
Reskinned and revamped for Xbox Australia. Version 2 of Amnesia’s rather addictive “Paper Plane” game is live…

Note:
Original Paper Plane game (Flight Sim X) with over 75 million games played is here:

I wish I could help but since I got the 166.407m I haven’t been able to get past 152m
I wish I could remember what I did
July 13, 2007 at 12:29 pm
I have been sitting at 155.685 with an original ranking of 8 which is now 12 for a week. There is a sweet spot to do this. Nothing to do with the mouse. How to get past 160, I dont know????
July 13, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Cant get past 148.7
July 13, 2007 at 4:52 pm

Q for Iain
Can you do anything about posting the top 10 throws either on a high score list on the game or at the top of this page?
July 14, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Thanks for the question Reuben - I’m sure we can dig the scores out of the database at some point soon and post here -Something I’ll have to get the programmers to do when they have a moment. For the record, there were a couple of reasons why we decided not to put the high scores in the game itself: We found out from other games we made like http://www.driftgame.com.au that more people played the game without the high score list - it actually seems to put people off. A massive top score caused people to think they would never make the list, so they didn’t bother playing. Of course you can actually get a high score table in paper plane by creating a league with your friends.
BTW my best throw is 152.768 and currently ranked 19. I know my score is the best at Amnesia to date (from our own league) and not even the guys in the team that built the game have beaten my throw just yet. No doubt a matter of time…
Thanks to everyone for playing and giving such great feedback on what is a pretty simple (and yes slightly annoying) game.
Keep spreading the word because the more people that play, the more chance we’ll have of making a version 3 which we would love to do, and if anyone has any suggestions for improved features, please post them here - we like to hear any input good or bad!
July 16, 2007 at 5:09 pm
Thanks for the reply Iain.
I hope to get above 155 again sometime soon
July 16, 2007 at 9:31 pm
I threw 153.798 and im ranked 49th at 346, 763 throws… That 160 mark must be in an incredibly tiny range… Ive tried almost everything i swear but still to no avail…
July 17, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Nice tip shot there Can’tStop! I tend to get the furthest the most regularly with the plane manipulated that way, but pretty sure I got my furthest so far (149m) having it lower (ie the same distance between exit and reentry points (of the mouse) but everything lower.
July 17, 2007 at 6:04 pm
I am devestated…
I am now ranked no 2. Who has beten me???
I can’t even spell rite cos of this..
July 18, 2007 at 12:59 pm
Hi! I was wondering where we can log-in, if there is, to save our scores. In that way you retain your highest score even if you change computers or web browsers. Because in my home computer (Firefox) my highest is 155 (rank 18, 2 days ago), when I changed user profile due to some problems and used IE6 my highest is 151, while in my office computer (IE6) my highest is 148.
Otherwise, these games (v 1 & 2) are great.
July 18, 2007 at 7:51 pm
Currently ranked 17th with 158.571 @ 489280 throws… Closer to the 160 mark
July 19, 2007 at 2:38 am
[...] to the v. 1. Hope I’m not spoiling the fun. The challenge goes on for the farthest distance. Xbox 360 Paper Plane V2.0 Game "How wonderful life is while you’re in the world." - Elton [...]
July 20, 2007 at 3:51 am
for those of you able to surpass 150, I gotta know… is it luck? Or can you do that pretty consistently? I can get to 149 with ease, but the capricious winds and such make it seem like it’s a real crap shoot. IE, the same throw could go 125 or 145. If it’s just luck, I am not so interested.
But if there is some sweet spot (and no, I don’t think upper left corner is the place to start), I am curious about what it is.
149.888
rank 796 (and falling quickly)
July 20, 2007 at 4:28 am
143.406 is my highest, ranked 3518, can’t seem to pass. Consistently get 123 - 140 but can’t surpass the 143 mark. Don’t know what anyone else is doing different then I am. I go furthest if i don’t do a loop in the beginning… I always do a nose dive around 50…
July 22, 2007 at 2:10 am
I have st up a league for mates. when i close the browser and open it to playa gain, the league has dissapeared. I have spoke to mate who say they ahve an ID in the address window ? Can someone help becasue as it stands, i set the league up and i cant play in it.
Thanks.

July 24, 2007 at 7:03 am
ok we have been playing this for over a week now and none of us can get past the 150 mark. what is the trick????????????? PLEASE HELP BECAUSE THE LITTLE PAPER AIRPLANES ARE PECKING AT ME AND LAUGHING!!!!
July 24, 2007 at 9:22 pm
Please will someone please tell me the best way of getting past 149 m there must be a way as most of you on here are getting 150 +
July 24, 2007 at 10:48 pm
@ Jon Bates.
Thanks for the question on leagues. To restore your league you must use the custom URL emailed to you after you set the league up (it will look like this example - http://www.xboxpaperplane.com.au/?id=s9JNx0OAWizg - see the unique code at the end… that’s the important bit). Note: The URL is different for all players in the league, so you need to look after your own. Alternatively, if one of your friends has access to the league, they can add you as a player again from the league screen again, although you may appear to have two scores in the same league. Hope this helps.
Everyone else playing …thanks for taking the game past 1 million games

July 25, 2007 at 12:18 am
BTW: Make sure you ‘tune your senses’ fully to throw the plane that little bit further…

July 26, 2007 at 10:25 pm
Experiment with a few cm’s from the top corner, I have managed 155.747 so far - placing me in 51st position - can’t for the life of me work out how 50 people have got better!!!
July 27, 2007 at 7:05 am
I am getting 140-150 everytime but unable to cross that. Let me know if someone crossed 150 and is there any trick in that
July 28, 2007 at 4:57 pm
Help, best I can get is 143. 390
July 31, 2007 at 11:15 am
Does going 150+ have anything to do with the 2 clouds at 110 and 120 mark??
August 1, 2007 at 12:25 am
Currently ranking 32 at 160.968m. I wonder what’s the distance for the Ranking 1 at the moment??
August 1, 2007 at 4:14 pm
Come on there has to be some tips to hit over the 150 mark.
August 3, 2007 at 9:54 am
wow 2nd place 171.547
August 3, 2007 at 1:22 pm
come on, any tips?
August 4, 2007 at 12:43 am
yeah, I tried the ones here…
http://paperplanesecrets.blogspot.com/2007/08/tossing-paper-airplane-for-distance.html
Improved my score but am still working on make the 155m mark!
August 5, 2007 at 2:37 am
I start in the top left corner, but cannot get farther than 112…
August 6, 2007 at 7:30 am
the tip listed above is from the previous version. Sampled several different throwing methods, and cannot get past the 147 range. Any tips? I can understand you long throwers not wanting to give it up, but I am frustrated! Good times.
August 7, 2007 at 12:31 am
I have now dropped even more
166.407m - Rank 30 - Games played 4.5 Mill
August 7, 2007 at 11:14 pm
So is the loop at the start good or bad, i have been retarting everytime i loop, and trying to avoid it, has anyone broke 150 with/without loop, please let me know, and any tips help, im at 149.
August 8, 2007 at 1:10 am
There is a cloud around 45-50 meters that i go through from 45-49 then it stops me, forces me down at 49-50 meters… i still get between 135 and 149 by going through this cloud and it slowing me down… but i have the feeling that if i can stop it slowing me here and i can go straight through or over my score will be much higer… anyone else get this ?
August 9, 2007 at 3:55 pm
I am pretty damn good at most games but I have tried for the past hour to get into high ranks for this game and can only get 148.62metres. Whats the so called ’sweet spot’ here and what posistion on the other side are you meant to hit?
cheers
August 10, 2007 at 9:12 am
This is how i throw the plane i start in the middle do a counter clockwise 360 with the mouse an if it is a good throw you wont hite the plant it will go threw it so you are going up towards the window not down and yes the back flip is nothing almost ever good throw i have had it did a back flip my friend got a 160 the other day doing this im still at 144
August 12, 2007 at 3:40 am
Can someone post info on how to get over 150? Like many others i am unable to get over 148. Please help!!
August 13, 2007 at 10:30 am
I have only managed to get 150.39.I use the so called cheat method.Drag the plane up to the upper left corner and then take your cursor outside of the frame and bring it back around to the right side and enter the frame at the upper horizontal bar above the table.You have to experiment with the entry point,give or take a pixel.I’ve managed to repeat my longest distance a number of times,but thats all.The players that are getting the mid 150’s to 160+ are onto something that I wish they would share with the rest of us.Damn this stupid game,that at times has me cursing aloud.Good luck onefourtyeight.
August 16, 2007 at 5:37 pm
what i’ve figured out is that the best throws are the ones where you exit the window from near the top. whether you use the cheat or flick the plane with the mouse if you exit from the center of the window or lower you aren’t going to get your best distance.
August 18, 2007 at 12:36 am
I managed to get 196.61 but i think it glitched. it gave me rank 20, and i have a screen shot, but it’s best to check out my mini league at http://www.xboxpaperplane.com.au/?id=FEBIjfvmhJyy
August 23, 2007 at 7:41 am
My friend set up a league and I added other players. However one person I added did not receive an email (all the others received theirs OK) so I tried to add them again and it came up with server error 4?? Any ideas?

I’ve got 150.849 Global Rank 3137. Can’t seem to get any higher with out the risk of being fired from work. Shame really. Any help would be good.
August 30, 2007 at 9:17 am
k, would someone please share tips on making multiple loops?
I promise to share my wife to the person who replies with working tips. (male or female)
ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
September 2, 2007 at 3:52 am
If you go to the Amnesia blog,which is for the V1 of the paperplane game ,you’ll see an entry from Chris dated August 30th.I used his technique and hit 154.431,with a global rank of 948 as of this entry.As Chris said,if you can get the plane to spin at the second globe you should get a good distance.Now if I could figure out a way to get 160+ I’d really be siked.Rueben;it’s time for you to give up your method to hit 160 and beyond.
September 3, 2007 at 4:49 am
thx Guitarman, using Chris’ technique I did a 150 with a double globe loop, and a 154.225 using close to the same spots with no loops. I guess I owe you my wife
September 4, 2007 at 10:23 am
RadarRic;I’m twice divorced and would prefer a six pack of Saranac Pomegranate Wheat.My current score of 154.872 is my best so far,which also was without any loops.
September 5, 2007 at 3:35 pm
GIVE GUITAR MAN THE BEER
BUT IT WAS MY TIP SO ILL TAKE DELIVERY OF YOUR WIFE

September 5, 2007 at 3:37 pm
oh by the way both the loops where close together and nearly turned on themself
very tight back flips it was going very very fast
still low flight path
damn those 160+ pilots
GIVE UP YOUR SECRETS
September 5, 2007 at 11:01 pm
[...] version 1.0 (FlightsimX released Dec 06)- Note: A good throw is +110m version 2.o (xbox skin +updated gameplay released July 07)- A good throw is +145m (discuss scores here) [...]
September 5, 2007 at 11:13 pm
Hi , sorry not to have replied more quickly to some of the questions above. We do want to address issues and questions when we get the chance, but as usual we’re pulling long hours on a billion other things. Anyway… The leagues appear to be working fine - we did have to optimise some code on both this version and the V1.0 FlightSim version because these games were never designed to cope with the levels of interest they’ve had. Always a nice problem to deal with!
So…. You guys have completely smashed any high scores the dev team here managed to achieve so well done. The posts above do mostly reflect the high scores in the database and appear genuine from what we can tell.
Keep spreading the word. Thanks all.
September 6, 2007 at 10:18 am
just got a 161.292 with a global ranking of 128 for v.2

September 7, 2007 at 11:01 am
I’m now at 203.826,with a ranking of 33.Same methods.I’m putting the plane up higher than previous attempts.Try a 1/4 inch or so from the top.
September 8, 2007 at 5:19 am
How’s 207.852.at a global rank of 24 sound! Thanks again to Chris and Fiying High.

September 18, 2007 at 12:25 am
Is the secret to this staying in the various clouds on the way?
trying to get past 150.442
always in 130, regularily in 140. only been 150m plus that once.
need help - trying to beat my dad who is gloating on 156m!
September 18, 2007 at 8:42 am
210.063 ranked 28. My best score,which still shows in my league play is 210.237.If you clean out cookies,history, cache etc. you have to start from scratch to show your best in the stats box.ZOOM IN AT LEAST 5 TIMES-COUNT TO 9 OR 10 AFTER THE GRASS SHOWS-CLICK SHOW ALL ON 9 OR 10.
September 19, 2007 at 6:26 am
To all those who wonder what the secret is. The fact of the matter is that not a single person in the world would tell you becuase, they just simply do not want to be beaten.
My best is 178.359
September 19, 2007 at 8:54 am
There is no secret.Read the various suggestions from flyinghigh,chrisand yours truly and you can get 200 plus distances with no problem.You have to have a good “throw” to begin with and then use the “zoom” method.Who cares if some one beats your score.It’s a F^%#ing game for god’s sake.P.S.You have to go to the V1 blog to get Flying’s tips on zooming.Good luck Lion’s Hood.
September 20, 2007 at 5:01 am
I totally agree with Guitarman’s last comment, being a newbie and using the various zooming methods I have clocked 125.73 on version 1 and 203.114 on version 2 and I am not a game player normally.
September 25, 2007 at 7:04 am
Come on, I can’t be the only one to had found a glitch in this game!!!
Anyone out there no the cheat I’m onabout???
October 8, 2007 at 7:14 pm

October 9, 2007 at 12:28 pm

October 10, 2007 at 2:11 am
I got it going an it never stopped, had to turn pc off when it got to 600m as i thought it was going to crash.
October 12, 2007 at 4:02 pm
I cant beleive it!!! 2,468m and I am ranked 1
October 15, 2007 at 10:10 am
Cant beleive it…….. someone has beaten me….. I am now ranked 2

October 19, 2007 at 8:40 pm
How come my plane keeps dissapearing into a black hole at about 190m?
October 23, 2007 at 2:01 am
will someone please be more specific about the zoom in method
October 23, 2007 at 2:02 am
what is the glitch you are talking about too
November 2, 2007 at 10:45 am
Thanks for the tip, this zoom certainly works. Jumped from 161 to 174 on first try.
November 8, 2007 at 7:17 pm
I have a new cheat for the zoom method. Put the airplane 1.5cm from the top then move the mouse to the other side off the screen. Then enter at the bottom of the cuboard. Then zoom in by right clicking onto the score 6 times. Then press enter and space rapidly as soon and as fast as possible. If done correctly you will easily reach 200 metres though it may take a number of attempts to master the technique.
Hope this helps!!!
November 9, 2007 at 3:04 am
HEY ZOOM, I FOUND THAT THIS WORKS…DO U OR ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO GET IT TO LAND WITHOUT HAVING TO GET THE ZOOM OUT AT THE END OF IT..BC IT JUST GOES FOREVER IF NOT
November 11, 2007 at 3:27 am
omfg you lot are all such loser, the only person who seems to be on normal wave lenght is adam webster…this lot are no life gimps!! grow up and get a life its a fuckin computer game
December 1, 2007 at 5:54 am
To the powers that be, love the games. ( FlightSim is my first love)
I have reached 191.683, ranked 884(ouch) and am attempting to master some of the cheats listed to get above 200. (vs1 is 125.792 ranked 153)
Query #1, When will you be coming out with a new plane game?
Query #2, How high does each go (max score or # 1 ranking. I run a small business and have no one to be in a league with. If the info is out there short of being in a league, it would be nice to know what I’m ultimately shooting for)
Query #3, I hate to be a killjoy and will probably sound very Aunty Mabel-esque, but I used to play this with my 8 year old son and we would scroll through the comments to find some info to better our game. I was relieved that I was the one to come across the profanity and not him. Is there a way to “clean up the boards” as it were?
I understand that there are people with acute cases of verbal diarrhea, the likes of which Pepto-Bismol could not cure. This in mind, I realize that this is another person playing your game and silencing them might mean a player lost. However, I am sure that the posters of the cleaner messages would be more willing to boost those numbers via word of mouth if there was a any kind of ‘dip’ in your numbers so the loss would be, well, not so much a loss.
Just a thought….
Oh, and the gentlemen (term used as loosely as possible) who find it necessary to speak of their “member” in such high regard, please remember, you probably wouldn’t speak to your mother like that. Tone it down, please.
(Fun is fun, and there have been some hilarious posts on these boards, but some of these are so far out there, one would be hard pressed to find a mention of the game in it. Not necessary.)
(Will probably cut and past this message on the board for FlightSim. as the posts there are a bit more difficult to stomach.)
December 7, 2007 at 12:09 am
I have added some on into our Allied Comms league who did not recieve the e-mail and I cannot send it again. How do I get the email resent to him.
Also, I cannot get this whole Zoom this to get over 150m. I have seen the instructions from the v1 game but it makes no difference in either game!!!! got to 150m on v2 and 114.something on v1 and cannot get any further!!!!!!!
Anyone shed any light on the zoom trick????
December 7, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Just hit 211.28 with a ranking of 29.Haven’t posted for a couple of months and have to say that some of the recent posts have me in tears from laughing.
December 15, 2007 at 6:31 pm
this game is great…… for like 5 minuites then it gets annoying i cannot get past 143.621m and ive been trying for agers so any one from the ppl how made this game plz tell me wat is up with this is it a random calculating score thing or is there somthing else the ppl with150m+ arnt telling us

PSS ive tryed it a i got a higher score in like 4 tries so i think its random
December 19, 2007 at 1:32 pm

January 14, 2008 at 11:37 am
Hey Can anyone tell me how to get passed 150+ please getting rerally mad with this game
January 17, 2008 at 8:58 am
I looped round to zero at 999.9999 but it got rather boring as the scenery disappears at 200+ somewhere with a purple stripe and its all goes black - whats that about?
Screenshot at http://www.webmozaic.com/plane.jpg
I swear on the life of my manager that this is not doctored.
This is using the two cheats together
1. Top left corner with the plane and touch the right hand side of the play area using the drawer handle.
2. Right click and Zoom in 6 times over the top right of the counter and then when it wont zoom in any more, continually press space and enter untill you go past the trees and grass (much magnified).
This way you are more or less guaranteed to get the counter spooling forever upwards and then overflow, but thats just boring, theres no skill in it and it doesn’t record in the global scores.
