  Honestly super boring. You drive from point A to point B in a vehicle of your choosing. Rinse and repeat. ResidentSleeper

  I do not recommend this game because of the boringness Its literally repeat and repeating the manual driving every "day" in the game, I cannot really enjoy in the simulation. AI controlled vehicles are not very smart and buggy, they always crash together and you can drive as free as you like in the airport, its ridiculous.

  This game is terrible! Stupid AI, flights are not finishing properly, vehicles are possessed, a lot of bugs, boring, workers doesn't know what to do with their vehicles. Do not buy this sh***t!

  If you want to play a game where your objective mainly consists of driving from point A to point B, some times in impossibly slow vehicles, then this is the game for you. Firstly, there does not seem to be any penalty for driving like an absolute idiot. The waypoint system has a tendency to show you the safe route, but this is the slow route. So why not cut across a some fields and drive across a taxiway. In real life road safety on an airport is paramount and there are super strict rules against veering even slightly off course or speeding. For a simulator game that consists mostly of driving, this seemed like a great opportunity of having some airport cop up your butt as soon as you decided not to go around the fuel depot, but through it instead. As for the tasks. It's literally: Get a task, get in a car, drive the car to the destination, wait for the bags/passengers/fuel to load, then drive back. At the end of the day, you are highly reccomended to drive all your vehicles back to the garage to avoid wear. (I didn't do this once and suddenly all my vehicles went "critical service status".. oops.) But I simply didn't do it because it was SO BORING. It was just another excuse to force me to drive another mundane drive through the same mundane airport layout you've driven through 30 times even after just 30 minutes in game. The driving controls are sub par. The AI is stupid and the cruise control is... well let's just say temperamental. There's no way of knowing if you've actually enabled the cruise control, until your car suddenly just starts braking after a few seconds, or you continue on your way. As for the AI. They seem to just go along some strings, making mostly sure they don't crash into anything. Even driving on a road with the baggage car, and an AI coming towards you, they'll just stop in the middle of the street in the lane next to you because they're afraid they might hit you. And yes, you get to hire workers, and manage your vehicles etc. but... that's not a simulator game. The only simulation in this game is driving. And there are plenty of games that do that better. This is more like a tycoon game where you're forced to do all the boring stuff yourself to earn enough money to start tycooning. But all this could have been forgiven if they'd actually put some interesting mechanics into the game. I've read that previous versions of this series have had minigames with tasks... why is this gone? Why do I just get a fade out when I reach the plane with my fuel truck? Why can't I get out of the truck, grab my hose, find the fuel intake, unscrew that and fit the hose. Then head back to the truck and make sure I fill up the plane with the correct amount of fuel requested by the pilot, at the correct mixture? THAT'S SIMULATION, not this crap.

  I last played this game in 2014 and in 5 odd years you would think a game would have progressed but you would be wrong. This is basically a game where you mainly drive from point A to point B and back with graphics and gameplay from years gone by. From the moment you start the game with a boring UI and title screen you know you are in for a bad time. Graphically its TERRIBLE , the cars and stuff just have full blacked out windows and you can’t see inside, same with the airplanes. The models in every way are low detailed and look horrendous. Sound design is subpar too, I wanted to hear airplanes taking off etc but nope and all the vehicles sound terrible. The gameplay is dull, and I mean this is boring. Also, there is NO penalty for driving like an idiot you can crash and skip across runways with no penalty at ALL. Like in a simulator game you expect to be punished for going against the rules. The tasks are obviously very repetitive too with no extra animations like passenger’s getting on and off planes etc. which would have been nice to see. As for the controls are passable but not by much with AI that for some reason stops when it passes you as they think they will hit you. This is just terrible, it’s not a simulation at all its the barebones of a game that is rubbish don't touch this at all. You can also click one button and complete all the tasks automatically so yeah you can skip the bad gameplay if you want! I did include some gameplay. Then I excited the game and it doesn't have AUTOSAVE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vLof9Vp_hI&feature=youtu.be

  1st of I will say, I'm going to keep the game. While the bad reviews are valid, I don't agree with them. This is a simple task game. Think a typical Game House old school Diner Dash type game. Except, in this case, the food is the bus and various other airport support vehicles. Once you understand that and don't pay full price (buy during a sale) I think you will enjoy this game. My view is to hire personal and equipment so you don't need to do them yourself. That's where the game lacks. It's clear to me that the player doing a task is not the goal and as such when driving vehicles the controls are horrible. To get around this what I did, don't take any planes to manage and hire staff then fast forward to the day that you will have at least 2 truck drives and one engineer. It takes a few game days for hired staff to show up similar to real-life you don't hire a person then they start the same day. The period before you have staff is pretty bad. If you buy it and want to try it before your time runs out on possible return, skip the tutorial, hire two truck drivers and an engineer don't take any planes to manage then, click next day until you have a full staff. Then play the game. The game then becomes a decent sim to manage the support of an airport. The one true downside is that no matter what video settings I use there is an occasional frame rate drop, this isn't an issue if you are not driving. But as I mentioned before you shouldn't drive anyway.

  Terrible game Drive from garage to plane and then back to garage and so on I can also hire helpers and to make it even worse I am stuck in the garage I am not positioned in the control tower like Airport simulator 2013 and 2015 so I cant see anything happening it is incredibly boring.
