I am pretty much addicted to this game. I love the strategy and all of the plane models and liveries. While there are some things that I would like to see, like changing runway ops with the wind direction, or more camera views, overall I really enjoy this gane and still play it daily. Plus there's no required ads, the devs are constantly updating the game and it's mostly free. Definitely worth the install if you like airplanes and strategy.
The game used to be buggy to the point of being unplayable, but that was due to the layout of the device. I have a new device now, and the game is fun and playable now. My only complaint/request is that even in airports with multiple runways, only one is used, which makes the game feel less realistic, and it backs up gameplay since you have to wait for ten planes to takeoff before one can land sometimes. Update; I was too quick to assume that this was the case for all airports, but it isn't.
I'm really enjoying this game! But I've noticed that sometimes I don't receive the rewards for finishing a plane or collecting the free ones after watching an ad. That can be annoying, especially when it does it after you've spent minutes getting a plane ready to push back. I'm hopeful they'll fix this glitch because I want to keep playing, it's fun.
I used to play this game a few years ago, and I remember it being a lot of fun but a little buggy. I came back to it recently to see that a lot of core gameplay features had been removed (in particular, a button that allows you to speed up different elements of the game), and the leveling up process had slowed down significantly. It went from feeling relaxed but fun to now feeling like a pay-to-win simulator. But at least its not buggy anymore.
Looks good and has decent UI, I give it 2 stars. The progression is painfully slow. They very clearly try to push you to buy "golden airplane" tokens, which you need to PERMANENTLY hire more crew. Normally I would support BUT they are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Seriously its a good game but not that good. You need crew to work on more airplanes as you obtain more contracts. so very early on, but still after some good time in the game you will find yourself needing to buy tokens to progress.
Not too bad of a game, definitely some strategy involved, making sure you set up a system of planes departing and arriving. I'm currently still on the same first airport after maybe 12 hours of gameplay, I think this is where the game falls short, it's taking a bit of time to level up and if you aren't patient that could potentially deter you from playing this.
This is a genuinely well-made game that doesn't waste your time with ads or useless filler. Everything in the game seems to be acquirable through gameplay, and the only ads are videos in the shop that you can watch if you want to get free rewards. The time it takes to prep airplanes feels reasonable, at least so far during the early stages of the game, and the level of detail on the ground is fantastic. I wish more mobile games were like this, where gameplay isn't sacrificed for monetization.
I was going to give this game a lower rating, but as I'm learning how the game works, it is becoming less frustrated. However, there are some quality of life features that could make this a 5/5. The tutorial is not good. I blew through all the starting contracts because I did not fully understanding how class and stands worked. That could have been so much needed, Silver Lions EXP and money saved. I also wish to be able to ground your aircraft(s) for maintenance while in a contract.
It's a fun game overall, don't get me wrong, but there a few things that could change. The main thing is the timers for the handling tasks. THEY ARE NOT CORRECT!! When the timer reaches 0 you would think that it's completed but that's not the case at all. Add an additional 10-20 secs to that for the task to fully complete. Really frustrating when you have enough time to get the perfect handling bonus but this little bug prevents that sometimes even costing you medals. Can type a lot more butcant
Actually one of the better games I've played. There's always something going on and it doesn't take 5 hours to load and unload. Two issues I do have with the game are that marshaling and the landing. When marshaling, I have the plane lined up on the line and it randomly turns for no reason, usually to the pilots right. The second Issue I have is the landing, the vertical component of it doesn't really matter until you are too close to the runway. Other than that, this game is extremely enjoyable
This is a great game. It just has one problem that makes it a 4 star instead of 5. It takes too long to earn money. My main issue is that the level system doesn't always reward you with cash. And when it does, it is no where near enough to upgrade or buy any new plane slots. For some levels you could have to move like 50 planes to just get $1000. That does nothing as that's as much as you make from one large plane. It should be like $10,000. It would make the award system feel more awarding.
Exceptional game, the graphics have improved so much, even though there's some tweaks that still happen. a new problem that I want to report with the most recent update is that whenever I'm playing, the game suddenly freezes while playing. this problem is happening constantly and you guys need to address it if others besides myself are also having the same issue. so far also you guys need to increase the amount of silver coins we get for every 100 gold coins we spend, it's not enough.
really fun wish there was more in Depth. I would like to see some much more complicated elements of the game. Maybe cargo contract rates? A tutorial for new players that don't understand it because the learning curve was rough. ***Update as of 2/24/23*** I was in the middle of getting my Prague built up and getting more plane slots opened. The screen went black and the game crashed and now I had to uninstall it and reinstall it. Not sure what happened
Great, fun, and addicting game. Spent over 8 hours so far playing this game. I would like to see more features eventually in this game. One feature that is needed is some level of automation or setting rules especially when you progress into larger airport and there's alot going on (fingers get tired after a while). Also Washington Airport needs more runways as a expansion option. Cant wait to see what the devs do to further develop the game.
Said I would edit my rating once the app worked again. It is a good time burner, especially will the different special arrivals that come after you hit a specific goal. But, I have to agree with the others, it is sad that you can no longer get the premium currency for free at a certain goal anymore. Only can get it by spending actual money on this game. Other than that, game is well built.
I've played this game for a while now, it's awesome. I do think that not being able to unlock gates without a plane in the update takes away from a little freedom. Also, I miss from way past Versions that you were able to accelerate plane services with your own earned money to push planes out faster "if" you chose to or needed to rush some planes in and out of an airport. That should be brought back.
I like this game it's really fun. I have two things for you to improve. The first thing is the tire smoke upon touchdown. It looks kind of low quality, making it like RFS style would be more realistic, and also add nose gear tire smoke too. The second improvement I like for you to make is adding rudder movements while the plane is taxing and adding the elevons movement while the plane is descending. And also make the cargo plane when unloading look more like the boxes instead of luggage.
I have grown to really like this game. The graphics are great, the camera angles are fantastic, I wish they were the same at all airports, I love watching the takeoffs, from different angles. My only disappointment is in getting silver planes, and that if you open a new airport, you can't get your personal planes to land there. There are ways to make this better, IF you really want, and then this would be the best game available. Fix the bug the stops plans from departing!!!!
I love this game. But the reason for only two stars is because it keeps crashing almost Everytime I start to play and it seems to do it more so on the IAD airport. That's after I spent so much time and can't even go back into the airport without it crashing. I've done it all from uninstalling to clearing the cache and nothing works. Please fix this!
I'm positively enamored with this game, pouring quite a bit of time into it as it makes a great timesink during periods of downtime at work. One thing I would love is greater expansion and detail into creating your own airline, of sorts. One of the biggest and immersive things for me in any aviation related game is implementation of hub/spoke strategies, connection passengers, and so on. The passenger demand, like many other games, is relatively static and less immersive. Still, an awesome game!
