I found 3 things 1) Screen Size and no way to ajust it 2) No Instruction on How to play or funtions 3) No sound other than Music I have ask for a refund! And they said NO!1 found this helpful
is pretty much dead as much as i liked playing it you cant , 1 thing gets fixed another stops working .
Ok, I tried to make this game work for me - I really did, but it's a waste of money in its current state. The simple mode is too simple. Pick your hub, buy a plane and define a route- repeat 5 times and then play whack-a-mole with the launch button and watch the money roll in. You don't need to worry about schedules (they have no effect in simple mode), fuel, crew, schedules, or anything. Just define the routes and hit launch. Too simple to be fun. Simulation mode is not playable currently. First there is no tutorial or manual to help you figure out how everything works in this much more detailed mode. There is a knowledge base that describes functions but doesn't give enough guidance to help you understand how all the functions (crew rest, maintenance schedules, routes, slots, etc...) work together. There doesn’t appear to be a mechanism that allows you to manage those requirements in your flight schedules. Currently you can define as a route as point, A to point B, and schedule it daily at one time. There are no multi-stop routes, and there is no way to add more than one plane to the route. The game then flies the route at the scheduled time, automatically schedules…
I've played just about every airline game on Steam, including very niche ones like Avia Corp. (a pretty decent one, if you ask me!) This is the first that just doesn't work. Not sure if it was AI vibe-coded or what, but I couldn't even get the basic route stuff running right. And dev hasn't updated since March, so I'm guessing this is it. Happy to update my review if the game becomes playable in the future, but avoid for now.

Way to many issues to even function as a tester at the moment. The crew times don't track properly so every flight is illegal. Once your flight arrives in a new airport it log the new location but assigning the return flight to a time slot is impossible because the dropdown doesn't lit the plane as available. And there is no tutorials for the detailed sim mode to learn how its supposed to work. wait and see if they try to fix it first.
