How it feels

You manage planes with a simplified system, starting in a calm outback strip and gradually facing busier, chaotic airports with animal obstacles.

What players say

Players praise this free air traffic control sim for its rewarding challenge, though some find it stressful. Many note that mouse and keyboard controls are much better than playing with a controller. Players report a crash bug when planes are ordered to hold at the same spot.
