Airport Madness 3D 2

Overall good game, good for quick fun. Two things would be nice: option to change departure runway once plane has started taxi, a hold/stop command anytime a plane is on the ground, and for emergencies once the emergency is done, a request to continue taxi instead of an auto start... many crashes occur when a plane stopped on a runway starts automatically with no way to stop it, and some planes are delayed when you can’t change the departure runway once assigned and pushback from gate is complete

It’s a great game to pass the time, but a big feature it’s lacking is the ability to restrict which runways are for departures and which are for arrivals etc. it’s annoying to have to keep touting planes away from departure runways when I have a long line of planes waiting to go. Then these reroutes get jumbled up with other ones and it makes for more stressful gameplay. In the real world this doesn’t happen because arrival and departure runways are outlined in the ATIS. If this game incorporated ATIS it would be far better. when you pick your runways before starting you should be able to choose which runway(s) are reserved for arrivals and which are for departures. It can be optional if the player prefers the chaos as the game is now, but for those of us who’d like a bit more realism it can make the game more enjoyable.

My friend sent me the link to this game on Tuesday. It’s now Saturday and I’ve moved over 3,000 planes. The controls and commands are easy to pick up and this is a great way to pass the time. I got to work at the airport this morning and found myself having to dispatch fuelers to flights and it honestly was a lot easier than I thought partly because I’ve spent the past three days in the mindset of juggling flights, so thanks! The only thing I’ve noticed is a bug where every now and then the starting airplanes will taxi backwards and can’t take off. I wish they’d add a night mode, too.

I love most of the new features in V2 that I wish would get ported over to V1 so I can play Boston with the radar flight paths. However, the scalable radar screens are a huge pain to deal with on a phone screen. I wish those would just go back to two little squares in the corner like in V1. They start out much too large in V2, taking up 1/3 of the screen. I spend a lot of time trying to resize them but they mostly just move instead of resizing, and meanwhile I’ve got planes sitting and crashing because you can’t resize the radar while paused. Also the battery drain in V2 is even more dramatic than in V1.

So far this is a fun and challenging game, but I would like it if you were able to unlock just one more airport, maybe one with a taxiway, because the London airport that you start off with gets boring pretty quickly. Like I wouldn’t mind watching videos/ads to be able to unlock new airports, rather than pay to unlock the airports. Otherwise, I like the game.
