Ratings and Reviews
Very good start to a fun simulator/game.
This is a good simulation/game of being a combined tower and ground controller. The graphics are really good and the aircraft are real and accurate. Departure slot times with wake turbulence separation is realistic to real world. However a few fixes I would do to get a 5th star. Some airport orientations are off (unless that is intentional). Runway 15 for Warsaw is facing 090 degrees east. And Runway 11 for Warsaw is like 030 degrees north east. I am not sure if ground radars actually display like this, but being a real world airline pilot, most displays reference north as 360. Also for taxiing, there should be a “continue taxi” if you have to stop an aircraft. You shouldn’t have to redraw the taxi if they are just stopping to yield to another aircraft. You could also add “follow traffic ahead” to make clearances abbreviated. Not sure I am a fan of the new arrows showing the direction of taxi. But all in all this is little stuff. This is a wonderful sim/game with lots of potential to be the best out there.
Developer Response ,
Hello. Thank you for your feedback. We are working currently on the mentioned „hold“ and „continue“ taxi functions. At some airports north is not up for better scrolling usability on smaller screens. We are happy you like the game.
Almost there
This is a fun game but it could use some improvements. First, there should be a much smaller airport (with only a single runway and a few gates) to help new players out. This could be considered the “tutorial airport”. Also, it would be great to have an infinite mode where you can keep going as long as you want. Lastly, I don’t know if this is already a thing, but it would be cool to have to deal with emergencies.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the feedback. Emergencies are already included in medium and hard mode. A tutorial airport will be added soon.
Unrealistic
I get penalized for my flights leaving too early. I have never, EVER, heard anyone complain about a flight that leaves too early. Add on top of that an unintuitive, poorly-thought-out user interface, no in-app help, no tutorial, locked levels, etc. Pass
Response to Developer response: Booting me out to a browser for help is not what I call “in-app” help, hence the term “in-app.” Departure Slots are an interesting concept; maybe if there was a tutorial to teach me these things as I play, they wouldn’t come as a surprise. And locked levels still choke - if I want to play JFK, I WANT TO PLAY JFK! Why is the game standing in my way?
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback. There is a help-section. You find it in the menu under "Help". In the real world there are so called departure slots. That's what you have here as well. That means departures must get airborne within the timeframe, not earlier and not later. Levels are locked because you didn't successfully passed the previous level.
