So, 13 hours into this game and I believe none have made me as annoyed as this one in so little time.

I love management games and I've been playing them for more than 9 years now non stop, this game is great in concept but the execution is horrible.

It surely feels like a good management game, you get to manage your money, buildings, connections, make sure everything will work well in conjunction with each other, if it doesn't, you'll have to find out the issue and fix it, the progression is fair and the representation of a real airport is fairly good.

The baggage system is one of the most challenging, and I loved it, since there are many additions to it, like detectors for dangerous luggage and a belt system connecting different areas, the ability to work with these underground is also awesome and adds to the realism.


The experience with it starts with a lot of annoying things happening, at the beginning they're not so common and not so game breaking, but as you progress and get to medium size planes and gates, if you play with passenger population at 100% which the games cites as "realistic", you will have a headache.

You get an emergency at the beginning of the game, you don't have the proper structure to deal with it, you dismiss the plane from it's stand, done, you have that red pulsating sign indicating the plane can't find a hangar, even tho the plane has flown away and another one is using the stand, the message stays and keeps the Callssign of the plane that actually had the emergency.

When quitting the game, it will prompt you with an screen to save and quit or just quit, no matter what I click, the game crashes, last time it happened, I had Auto save set for 30 minutes (I'll explain why later on -Freezing) and lost all that time progression since it crashed.

There's even a tool to "check" the pathfinding for specific entities, the problem is, sometimes it just shows that message when staff is already working at a station, looks like another staff wants to come in to the same spot and can't, a very simple thing to fix, but hasn't been fixed.

After some time, when you have around 500 passengers (which is not hard if you play with "realistic passenger population") the game starts to stutter a lot, around every 30 seconds you get a freeze, I've used some Benchmarking software to monitor the game to try and find the issue, turns out nothing could be found, PC hardware was never even at 30%, my pc meets the recommended aspects of this game by far, I've played some much more hardware intensive games than this one and it never happened.

-Baggage dropper stops working for no reason
-Airplanes will decide to go somewhere then stop for a moment and turn around
-Passengers will be waiting and never board a plane
-Staff will come to the Boarding Desk when there's only 40 minutes left to board 180 passengers on a medium airplane delaying planes for 5 hours even when having a surplus of 25 Passenger Service Staff
-Conveyor belts reversing direction when building then you have to deconstruct and build one by one
-Fuel truck will say it couldn't find a fuel depot, even tho one is built, reachable and functional

There's still more bugs that haven't been listed here, will edit to add them if I can remember.

PC gaming is full of hackers, bugs all the time, just junk

if steam overlay is turned on the controls will get stuck. THIS GAME IS RELEASED ON STEAM, how the hell does it bug with a steam feature???????????

This game is incredibly immersive and very damn hard to learn and play, but once you get the hang of it, it's amazing how realistic a game can be.

Whenever I open the game to play I have to look on google how to solve something thinking it's a game mechanics, just to realize it's actually a bug. Last time I lost a 9 hours prison just because prisoners wouldn't stop coming, even tho it was closed for intakes.

It's cool to play and even better if you compete with your friends.
Sometimes it just doesn't work, stops responding, but despite that, it's worth it to play.

Stops responding constantly at the end of the phases and I'm not able to finish the "core" mission where it doesn't save at the end so when I close the game after it stops responding, the mission restarts.

good game
