Airport Simulator 2014

can fly plane?!!! :D

great sim its old but love it

Works pretty well, some questionable glitches with the workers, and maybe could be better if multiple planes could be worked at the same time to avoid backlogs.

This has been the most exciting adventure into the gritty high octane life of airport managers. My god they are cooler than Jamez bondino.

I would know because I am the best gamer ever@

Honestly stay away.
I bought this about I would say 4 years ago,
this game made me lose my wife and job
i no longer have a status in society

But seriously, this game actually is boring beyond belief. Its also got glitches at every corner you look.

Planes doing unspeakable acts, fuel trucks flying, its actual pure chaos. And at times you just cant do anything and it becomes "become an oxygen molecule simulator and look at the airport simulator"

heres some advice
go run and jump in your backyard and you will definitely have a higher chance of getting something into the air than in this game,

Not worth playing. Bugs left, right and center. I would not recommend this game at all. All you do is drive a small selection of extremely slow viechles to certain places at each airport (which aren't easy to find at first). Aircraft models are alright but buggy. They taxi in very inconvential directions to get to gates and the runway. The developer seems to have missed the research part of development stages in this game. They haven't a clue what goes on at airport from playing this. For it's release date, the graphics are extremely poor. I cannot see myself ever getting the sequel to this game. Glad I only paid a 0.69 pence for this!

Hey you, yeah you, do you like watching paint dry or grass grow? Then do I have the game for you. Airport Simulator is a game where almost nothing happens in its entirety and I really mean that. This game is so slow that you can grow a beard that is 2 feet long before you complete the first challenge. I mean what else is there to say its so BORING! I have done household chores that are more fun than this game FOR REAL! Another thing is that they are charging $10 for this abomination of what they call a game. Honestly your better off just giving that money to a homeless person because they will be able to find more enjoyment with it. Then there is the sound, dear fucking god what were the programers thinking. When you start up the game it sounds like a smoke detecor went off in your house it just drives me crazy. I honestly can't think of anything positive to say about this game and most games that I end up getting that are bad I have at least one positive to them, but not this one. So why did I buy this then? Well have you ever looked for the worst possible game to play just becasue it is bad? I thought that I would get this game because it is literly the worst rated game on steam, its true just how many games are there on steam that have a overwhelmingly negative overall user score almost none. So I bought it expecting that it would be a good laugh, but enjoyable for being so bad like the Tommy Wiseau's The Room is, instead I was crying and wishing that I had never spent my money on this garbage. I bought this before the steam refund ever existed so I was basically stuck with this thing. Overall don't buy this garbage of a game even if it is on sale you will just waste your money and if you think that it would be funny to send to a friend as a gag gift you would be a terrible person because it will basically give them cancer. There are SO many better games that you can get for $10 and even less. Don't infect your hard drive with this disease and I honestly hope that this trend in all these fake simulator games will just die and fade away because they fill up steam promising fantastic experiance, but instead they just rape your wallet and waste your time.

You start the game and get into the main menu which looks like a departure and arrivals board at the airport.
You select a new or previous game...
Starts you out in a little van, a plane lands in the very far distance and the plane couldn't taxi any slower to the gate...
Plane parks in the gate and it asks for a fuel truck..
You get the fuel truck and park it in the green box and then a timer starts counting down from 18 minutes. (In Realtime....)
You get a bus and drive invisible passengers to the airplane... 13 Minute timer starts (Yep.. in Realtime.)
You get a baggage cart and bring it to the airplane and wait 23 Minutes (Realtime.......)

One of the WORST simulation games you can spend money on, I do not advise you even look at any more reviews... just leave this page once and for all.

ALSO! I purchased the game and had to go through a huge variety of troubleshooting and compatability and file editing before the game would even run semi-properly.. Take my advice and STAY AWAY!

This is a frustratingly uneven game. It starts off painstakingly slow: An aircraft comes in and you, apparently being the only person at the airport with a driver’s license, have to drive various vehicles to and from the plane: a passenger bus, a rolling staircase, a fuel truck, two types of cleaning trucks, a luggage trolley, etc. It’s very tedious, but eventually multiple planes start arriving and you have to juggle various tasks among them. The plane at gate 5 is fueling now, the plane at gate 6 wants fuel next. A plane that just landed is waiting for a parking spot and you’re trying to push back a plane at gate 3 to make room for it. At this point the game isn’t exactly *fun*, but it’s at least involving. Get those tasks done to get the planes off the ground!

But then you earn money and hire help and once you hire enough employees to handle every vehicle at every gate the game becomes nothing more than a slightly interactive screen saver: A plane lands, you assign it a gate and everything is taken care of. You just sit there and wait for it to take off again.

There is one maddening exception: The pallet loader for cargo aircraft. You can’t hire anyone to drive this. It’s all you, and it's buggy and annoying. For starters, only one cargo plane can be serviced at a time. If you have 3 cargo planes parked at gates you'll only get loading/unloading instructions for one of them. You can entirely finish loading up the first plane but you won't be able to start loading and unloading the second plane until the first plane is on its way to the runway. It can sometimes take 10-20 minutes between the plane being loaded up and actually pushing back, during which time your pallet loader gathers dust and other cargo planes take up gate space waiting to unload. Additionally if you make the mistake of parking a cargo plane at gate 6, 7 or 8 you need to make ridiculous round trips back and forth across the tarmac between unloading a pallet on the south end, going to a parking spot on the north end, and returning to the cargo area on the south end again to pick the next pallet up (for gates 1-5 the parking spot is thankfully right next door to the cargo area so moving the pallet loader from the cargo area to the parking spot takes about 5 seconds).

There are other frustrations too:

+ Wonky physics that allow you to flip a plane nearly upside down with a nudge from a luggage cart
+ Tasks that appear and disappear from your task list
+ A non-intuitive interface
+ An inability to move vehicles to a gate prior to a plane being assigned to it
+ Awkward vehicle/gate rules. An aircraft can't push back until all of the vehicles servicing it have returned to their parking spots. It's not enough to simply clear the gate area. This makes multitasking difficult. For instance, say you're fueling a plane at gate 1 and when finished drive the fuel truck to gate 2 to service that aircraft. Even though the fuel truck is no longer at gate 1, that aircraft won't push back until the fuel truck has actually parked in the fuel truck area.

For that small percentage of people who *really* like airports, there are bits and pieces of this game that are slightly interesting, but the bugs & game logic & freakin’ pallet loader make it nearly impossible to recommend.

Do not buy this game. I bought this game ignoring the hateful reviews about it, thinking it would be fun to drive stuff around and what not even though the graphics were bad. Well, i was very very wrong. when i even got the game to work (took support about 1 week to reply) and they didn't even help at all, i decided to try and open it one more time and it actually opened this time. I started playing and i said "wow i made a mistake..." i bought this game for 5$ during black friday, even that was to much for this game. Honestly the devs didn't even try when making this game. Its actually quite sad. If this game was free. i still wouldn't download it, its not worth the space on your hard drive. Graphics are bad, game play is very very bad and not realistic at all, game mechanics are bad, game options are bad. Very little you can actually do. Its just not worth the time it takes to download. Do not make the same mistake i made buying this game thinking it would be good. The game will not change, its bad and unfortunately always will be.

No.

Just, no...

This game is terrible. Sound only works if you adjust it to 2001 standards (so it matches the graphics). It's slow and boring. No way to speed up time. All you do is drive around in excruciatingly slow airport support vehicles to a predetermined location and move on to the next vehicle. This must be done in a certain amount of time or else you start losing money. If you manage to actually make money, you can use it to "upgrade" each service, which simply automates it. So I guess the goal of the game is to upgrade everything to the point that it plays itself... lame.

Graphics and physics are waaay buggy. I flipped a plane trying to taxi it out to the runway and couldn't recover it (see screenshots).

These features are promised in the ad on the library:

Features
The most detailed and comprehensive simulation of the events at an international airport
Many management and business options for the expansion of terminals and extension of runways

NO. None are included. This game is so boring and lame, it is not worth anything. There is a great foundation for a great game here, but they seem to have only finished half of it and released it. It needs so much more work to make it enjoyable.

I've been on Steam since 2005. I own over 350 games. I've never requested a refund before today.

This game is unacceptable. It's not an airport simulator - an airport sim would have you fixing planes, managing gates, planning expansions, handling emergencies, running the de-icer, scheduling logistics for the catering, tracking down lost bags... you know, airport stuff. Instead, you drive the vehicles from parking spot to parking spot and are rewarded with a view of a bunch of vehicles sitting around a plane. All that airport stuff? Carried out in the form of a timer on the objectives list. Not even so much as an animation, let alone anything interactive.

Someone could whip up this game with stock assets in Unity in under a day. Indeed, they probably did.

I'm insulted by this 'game'. I want a refund, I want the game pulled from the store, and I want an apology from the developers for releasing this pathetic Airport Parking Simulator.

What seems to be another classic title from UIG - nice idea, poorly thought out, poorly implemented, not finished, a number of bugs impacting gameplay, and value for money is questionable at best.

As a complete synopsis/walkthrough basically a plane lands, you allocate it to one of eight gates, and the plane is then serviced by a number of different vehicles. Initially, you have to do all the driving, but you earn money for completing each vehicle task and receive larger cash injections when planes take off. As you earn money, you can upgrade each of the vehicle tasks to automate the work three times, the only difference seems to be the speed in which the AI vehicles move. Once you have upgraded all of the vehicle tasks once, everything is automated except for unloading/loading of cargo from/to cargo planes - which cannot be automated. Once you have upgraded everything as far as it goes, the game ends, which took me about 18 hours, almost all of it waiting and watching.

The description for this product is also misleading - super jumbos, there are none; coordinating air traffic controllers and technical staff, not in the game; organizing perfect catering, nothing beyond driving the vehicle from point A to point B; detailed and comprehensive simulation of events at an international airport, only if you think the only thing that happens is people driving vehicles; many management and business options for the expansion of terminals and extension of runways, not in the game; and countless missions and tasks the player has to fulfill, only one "mission" which happens to be the objective of the game (to upgrade all automation tasks) and then the game ends.

Overall the game barely held my attention, and only then because I assumed there must be something more to the game once the gate upgrades were done. I was wrong, now I want my 18 hours back. Might be worth it if the price drops to a couple of dollars, otherwise you're just wasting money.

If you like driving around, waiting for 30 mins to do the next thing, with graphics from 5 years ago. Then yes, this game is for you. Besides that, it is NOT AN AIRPORT SIMULATOR. It is a DRIVING SIMULATOR.

Utter rubbish. Don't waste your money! The game consists of waiting around a lot for things to happen. The things? Driving a few service vehicles aroung from garages to airpot gates and back. Once you have automated all but one task (for some reason loading cargo cannot be automated) you merely sit and watch the same things repeat over and over again. Your involvement is now over. The claim of countless missions is a lie and the publishers should be ashamed of themselves. There is one mission. It just repeats over and over again. Steam should remove this game from the option to buy if they are a responsible retailer. It really is that bad!!!

Boring game with crappy graphics. Not the airport managing game you'd expect it to be. Instead you drive around with stairs or busses, and need to wait real-life time.

Definately not even worth to consider buying it.

i find this game is very misleading even they had wrong website for support also this game has problems AVOID AVOID
also this game has been misleading - example (credits to Vyvern on Steam)
Many management and business options for the expansion of terminals and extension of runways" which there are none. Not a single one
so DON'T BUY THIS GAME AND LET STEAM KNOW ABOUT THIS - They should remove this misleading game and refund all people who bought it - they shouldn't not allow the misleading game be sold on steam - its should checked throughfully for any faults and check the support site also check the link to offical site - its MISLEADING - no offical site for this game means NO support for this - i am boycotting this game and i hope i get refund from steam for this Misleading game

Maybe at some point there is more to this game, but for now, it is basically "Airport Vehicle Simulator". The best bit of the game is where you get to drive around the truck with the stairs on it, and you can pretend you are in Arrested Development. Otherwise, I have no idea. And I like weird games, but this is just very strange. Going to play it a bit more and see what happens. If I understood the tutorial correctly I believe I have to earn money completing the driving tasks to pay other people to do the driving tasks for me. But the driving is the only thing you do in the game anyway? I guess if you like driving around airport vehices with poor physics and no damage model (that time I bounced off the passenger walkway with a bus full of people going to the terminal was a little scary, but I received no negative feedback), then this is the game for you. Looking forward to seeing a plane land, or something.

Terrible, terrible game. The description in the game is just a lie: there are no missions, freeplay or whatsoever, only 1 single mission, that is completely ridiculous and boring. Worst buy ever

Airport Simulator might be the most tedious and boring game ever released. Heres what you do in this game:
1. Select gate for plane to taxi to.
2. Extend tunnel.
If its a passenger plane:
1. Drive stairs to gate.
2. Drive bus to gate.
3. Drive luggage wagon to gate.
4. Drive interior cleaning to gate.
5. Drive exterior cleaning to gate.
If its a cargo plane:
1. Drive cargo wagon to gate.
2. Drive exterior cleaning to gate.

Wait 5-10 minutes

1. Drive everything back to the garage.

Thats literallyy it. Theres no management, there is no way to lose you just get money for every task you do. You start with 8 gates even though youre probably never going to use more than half of them at a time. You can hire "helpers" that drive the vehicles for you. The game is over once everything got an "helper". The graphics are bad but you cant really expect good graphics from a 15€ game.

While playing it I got the feeling that devs were never even close to an airport. On what airport do they use tunnels and stairs/buses on the same plane? On what airport does the luggage go to end of the airport and the passangers to the other?

The game is also riddled with bugs. When you save the game all textures and models unload and all you see is the skybox for about 3 minutes. The Tunnels jiggle all the time and get stuck inside the terminal. When i tried to taxi a plane back to the runway the game just crashed.

Not only is this game awful it is also falsly advertised: It clearly says in the description that there are "Many management and business options for the expansion of terminals and extension of runways" which there are none. Not a single one. It also says its available in german, french and italian which isnt the case either. Steam finally has to hire someone that plays every game for at least an hour before it is made available on the store.

TL;DR Do not under any circumstances buy this game, dont even accept it as a gift.

This game is absolutely terrible. There's not a lot to do besides waiting and the graphics looks like they were made 10 years ago.
Can NOT recommend - At all!

I might continue playing this when I am bored but other then that not really, driving the cars and such is slow, the tutorial didn't really help out at all, took me a while to figure out what to do. Read the forums do a bit of research before buying games. They warned me about not getting this game but I thought about giving it a try and it didn't turn out to well.
