60 of 176 · most liked firstIt's a fun game to play with friends who also have the game. If this is not the case it can feel overwhelming because you end up playing on your own since the public multiplayer is as dead as can be. Despite being fun, it is still open for further development, which unfortunately the developers have stopped doing a year ago. Ironically they started the patch notes on the most "recent" update with "it has been a minute"; basically appologizing for the lack of updates, only to then stop…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hello, developers of this game. I bought this game a year ago, and I am very happy with it. I would like to request that large passenger airliners such as the A330, A350, A380, B757, B767, and B777 be added to the game. Thank you for the game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, I would like to say how much I wanted this game to succeed and thrive. However, considering that the last update was released nearly six months ago and there has been apparent radio silence from the developers, I think it is time for me to deliver my final thoughts on the game. To put it bluntly, this game is a complete waste of potential. The developers had the right ingredients to make a good airport simulation game, but they fumbled badly post-launch. Before getting into the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is pretty interesting, the only thing i would like to say is: Don't play this game alone, otherwise will be extremely boring. --{ Graphics }-- ☐ I live inside this game ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Disgusting --{ Gameplay }-- ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ It's just gameplay ☐ Not waste your time --{ Audio }-- ☐ Eargasm ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad --{ Audience }-- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma --{ PC Requirements }-- ☐ Don't run neither…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly Bad. The Game has a really good Potential but the Devs do not seem to care sadly. I bought this Game in 2023 full of excitement and for 2 years. BARELY anything has improved. Bug fixes DO happen. but slow. Nice Content does get added....the last good update just was in Jan 2024. I really want to play this game again but its safe to consider a "Dead Game", IF you want to buy this, do this during a big sale. What would make me play this game again, Fellow Ground Handling NPCs in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game was fun when it originally came out, almost two years ago.... And since then updates are very seldom and the things that are added/updated are minimal and don't really add to the game. Tons of bugs still present including audio bugs and a near constant black screen flicker that never goes away at least for me. The fact that we are approaching a two year mark with this game and still only have TWO aircraft is a bit shocking and unfortunate. The game quickly becomes drab once you've turned…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From my young son, who plays your game: Dear MS games.... If you are seeing this review it might make your game better. Before we get to the main part of the review, I would like to talk about what I like about the game. I love how much you make this feel real, as if you are a ground handler at an airport. It's fun. HOWEVER! I have seen bad reviews about the game, and I have also noticed that you haven't been keeping your game up to date according to the schedule. Many people have asked for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game has potential looks great but then come the issues. Was playing last night before dinner and had everything set up and was waiting on the aircraft to land and then dinner came so I saved off and returned after dinner. When I spawned back into the game it placed me way the heck over on the other side of the tarmac and the time was the same as when I saved off 4:13 AM but when I got back over to gate 2 where the plan was going to park all the equipment I had earlier set out was back in it's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Games been out a year now, and despite the regular patch updates, still very buggy. Whenever played multiplayer you have people stuck in vehicles, glitched vehicles and reduced functionality. Single player sometimes has issues but it's more fun to play with friends and you just can't.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No Longer receiving updates and not polished, Not worth the money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cant even do 1 plane service without a bug stopping the whole thing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very frustrating. You can do exactly what the tutorial tells you or what any video shows and it will not work no matter what you do.... I have played for 9 hours and I stiil cannot get the red light on the stairs to flash green at all..... I have yet to successfully do something as simple as connect stairs..... even after 9 hours!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do actually like what the game has going on. It would have been an amazing game to build on. But it's abandoned. A lot of potential, scrapped, for to me an unknown reason. And there's none other like this. Sad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great premise with a lot of potential, but the game has been abandoned by the developers, and it's still buggy as hell even 3 years after release. Don't bother buying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting idea. It is only a thumbs up because of the 60% sale, otherwise I would be refunding. This game is unfinished, abandoned and does not worth the full price... what do they think? 35 euros for this? 15, at most. It would fly as an early access... like verison 0.7, but emtpy for something considered as a full game for this price. So.. I like: - The idea. Getting aricrafts arriving and departing needing to be serviced, this is a good foundation to build a chill game on. - I like the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game had a lot of potential when it came out. The team constantly updated it. But then they forgot the game. It has been a year since last update with barely anything new worth mentioning. The game is abandoned sadly.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After playing for about 3hrs, the game feels lackluster...if the game have some kind of progression mechanic that would be great. Or perhaps the game could be somewhat like a tycoon where you get to upgrade the airport and have more stuff; the more you progress the game or by completing objectives/tasks. Lastly, the game feels very empty...there are NPC vehicles roaming around though it's not as much as you would see in an actual airport. In general, the game is alright to say the least from…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! This game is fun when it works, but it does not work a lot of the time. Sometimes cant turn the engine on in a vehicle. Sometimes cannot open the fuel panel. Sometimes ground clearance doesn't happen. Sometimes you load in and fall through the ground. Seems like the devs have taken the bag of cash and bailed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game because I used to work in the general aviation and wanted to feel what its like to work in commercial aviation as a ramp agent so I expected too much in this game. This game had so much potential but the errors are frustrating. Too many bugs, some achievements aren't either working or stopped counting, map is hard to navigate, movements are also clunky, and the key buttons aren't working sometimes that I had to restart the game. I'd like to go back if the following errors are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fun but to many bugs only buy if on discount
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has so much potential that is simply wasted. The tutorials themselves are overcomplicated and frustrating, then trying to translate what you've "learned" to the actual gameplay is essentially impossible as the arrows etc that help/direct are not used in actual gameplay. The map is confusing. The game is essentially unplayable, it looks great and has some good ideas, but the execution is piss poor. If there were an option to play casual instead of being so pinpoint realistic to the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like the idea of being aground handler at a commercial airport, then this game will scratch that itch. It will let you load cargo, passengers, refuel, marshall, pushback, and so with with a good feel of realism. What it *won't* do is be free of bugs (some are tiny glitches like audio cutting out, others will prevent you from continuing in your session) have a sensible save feature (technically it saves, but it also forgets any of the tasks you've done already and where any of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like AirportSim, especially since playing with friends can lead to some genuinely funny moments. But after several attempts, the constant bugs completely killed the experience for me. Tasks regularly break or fail to register, which means progression gets stuck for no clear reason. More than once, we had to abandon a save and start a brand new game just to continue playing. That gets old fast, especially in a simulator where sessions can already take a while to set up.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to like this game but there's just so many bugs and it hasn't had an update in a year so I can't recommend it. It's a cool concept and it could've been a really awesome game if they would have kept updating it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know why this game is so heavily hated, it's incredibly fun and realistic.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has so much potential, but unfortunately its pretty much abandoned :(,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game, played for 1 hour. So many bugs I could never finish any of the higher levels. The command wheel would always freeze on me so I could never make calls to ground control. Ended up returning the game. If there were less bugs this game has so much potential.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No updates for long time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No contact to the players and really buggy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →walked in front of a running engine and got a corny ass achievement instead of getting ingested. also as a former ramp agent, nearly every procedure in this game is done incorrectly and out of order
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No more updates, no more money for them
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The definition of Abandonware.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh man... I want to like this game, I do! It's 99% there but it's just.. so janky. The tutorials are a slog - so much of this could be solved by having the controls stay up for more than 10 seconds when you enter a vehicle or walk by something. And WORST is the clunky stairs.. I just try to play the Key West scenario and I can't get any planes out because the stairs will not retract! It's clearly a bug, trying to pull the safety barriers away makes the sound but they don't move! Devs.. finish…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Felt like this game had a amazing start despite some of the bugs.. But the road map seem like they were going to bring much more but at this point feel like devs abandon this game.. Sad but hopefully I'm wrong... Still a fun Sim and not janky like most
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Happy I refunded this. Even though It was 60% off still not worth it. Game needs updates asap but that is not their "primary focus" - just a dead game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Follow me car mechanincs do not work, so secnario 1 task 1 is game over.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is not bad... i mean few here and theres they tried their best and this game has a lot of potential but i dont know what the devs were thinking with the FOV's i dont know if its just me or what but the view and FOV in this game is just so lackluster that i got MOTION SICKNESS. Mind you i have been gaming for 10 years now... and i have played all types of games for hours and hours.. this is the first time in my life i experienced MOTION SICKNESS. I really did not like the camera views…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, wasted potentional, abandoned by developers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfinished, abandoned, buggy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a silly game about pretending to be ground crew. It's overly complicated, and that's fun, but it's tedious, and that can be less fun if you aren't into it. It's got some bugs, and sometimes just lies to players other than the host. Be aware of what you're spending money on. This is for a specific type of person. You know who you are. I bought it on sale, and it was worth that. I may not believe that about it's full price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →USELESS! barely updated now.. feel like the developer stole my money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a very cool game in my opinion, however needs a major revamp. Everything looks outdated and the textures are terrible. Even with steam workshop add-ons, it sucks. What would be nice to see and would make me give this game another chance is more variety. There are only 4 base-game airports with 2 DLC ones and only 2 aircraft types. What would be awesome to see is some wide-body aircraft mixed in there as well as more airport variety. It also seems the developers have given up on this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got it on a 60% sale, not worth it otherwise because of all the bugs. Would be a pretty chill game if it wasn't so buggy Bugs: - Audio problems, sounds like it glitches out. Seems to happen randomly, the airplane sounds are the worst - UI sometimes randomly disappears, the only way to get it back is to restart the game - Issue with the alignment of stairs, if you exit too quickly the whole task bugs out and you're unable to complete it - Pusback vehicle stops working and the front left tier…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →From day1 when keybinds were not working correctly for vehicle movement, the devs solution was to just remove them. As a leftie mouse user, I just want to be able to drive with the arrow keys. Would have enjoyed game otherwise as an aviation fan.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The idea of the game is fun, but the execution is rather cumbersome. I am still stuck at the first scenario 6 hours in because of some bug, so you think if you save the game and restart it will fix itself. No you now have to redo what you just did the last hour to get to where you were when the bug appeared. This game should still be in alpha and have testers test it so the developers can fix the bug, it is not really ready for release. Even if its on sale I would say no, don't get this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i need someone to play with add me on steam so we can play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandonware, still too unstabile to reccomend
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who used to do this job, it gave me nostalgia, but I can see why the bugs would take someone out of the game experience. Also, there are still so many things that could be done to the game, but it seems like it’s not getting updated anytime soon, if ever. Still had fun though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gets boring after you have done all of the stuff. great graphics, but not my type of game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →VERRY good game 5 star
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting concept with huge potential. The game plays much the same as the demo, except way more things to do. It runs well for me, no crashes, decent fps. No major bugs noted during gameplay. BUT: (1) The savegame feature doesn't work. It resets all vehicles and their positions. Even my score was gone during freeplay. Read the game's discussions, there are many players saying the same thing. (2) The project appears to be abandoned. Community seems to think so, too. So: If you don't mind…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, another update would be good to have ground connection for fuel refill like some of the larger airports around the world. Also there could be a waste truck as well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I get to be an idiot in an airport without any legal repercussion 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just too buggy, its a fun game but it is very annoying to have many bugs that wont even get fixed... Update: The game hasnt been updated in almost a year, and its still very buggy making it hard and boring to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very confusing and lots of bugs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great game for aviation enthusiasts or anyone looking to learn more about aviation ground operations. HOWEVER. I can not recommend buying this game at full price. Here are the things I enjoyed about it: Beautiful graphics Good attention to detail on aircraft and environment It's challenging, and realistic A comprehensive tutorial system Capability of adding custom liveries The things I didn't like: -There are currently only 2 aircraft available to service, the Boeing 737 and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This feels empty, repetitive and frankly not worth this price AT ALL.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an absolute buggy mess. The core gameplay is alright. But it's very hard to recommend it in its current state. I tried my best to push past all the bugs. But they just make the game so difficult to play. Maybe worth picking up if significantly reduced in price. But even then, not entirely sure it's worth it. The save feature doesn't even work properly. Sometimes the jetways completely break the game. You'll be doing a scenario, connect the jetway. Connection is made, but it doesn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It took 1-1.5 hrs just to get through the glitchy, overly verbose and long-winded tutorials, just to explain basic gameplay concepts repeatedly--feeling like somebody deliberately trying to stretch out an essay they have a minimum word count requirement to hit with nothing of value to say. Once in the actual gameplay, I found most of the gameplay to consist of idle waiting and watching glitchy animations, numbers slowly tick up, or bags slowly move along conveyor belts before getting stuck.…
