Flights on time. All of them. Can you do it? In this simulation game you take the position of an air traffic controller in the control tower of Budapest Airport to make sure all flights get to their destination safely and on time.

  Key features:

  AIRPORT ALIVE To play this game is like playing model railway with aircraft, while making sure all flights arrive to their destination safely. (Almost) everything is on the move.

  

  HASSLE-FREE If you don’t want to bother pronuncing tongue twister air traffic control instructions for the speech recognition system, then this is your game. You’re always just a click or two away from issuing an instruction.

  IMMERSION If you like aviation and airports, you will find yourself sitting down for a short half hour stint, and getting up one and a half or two hours later.

  EASY TO PLAY Features like fire-and-forget one-click instructions, instruction queuing, hotkeys, and path highlighting will make your seat as comfortable as possible.

  

  SETTING IT UP Customization is easy. Do you want the busiest time of the day or just chill? You can get both by choosing a scenario.

  REALISTIC RADIO VOICES You won’t hear any painfully slow robotic voices answering to your instructions in this game. Listening to many hours of real-life ATC recordings during development makes sure the game sounds as realistic as possible.

  NO VIOLENCE In this game you don’t get any points for killing people.

  EVOLVING Development will continue. The game will get more features and content added in the future.

  NO HIDDEN PAYMENTS That's right.

  STATS The game records all your achievements, including the number of flights, passengers, cargo delivered inbound or out.

  

  The plot: You will take the seat of several different air traffic controllers in one person. You control the approach, designing a steady and well-separated inbound and outgoing air traffic flow. You take tower control position as well, to clear landing and take-off. Also, you take the position of ground control to let aircraft taxi between runways and gates, as well as pushback. Sounds too much? Fear not. The game design will help a lot with features like fire-and-forget one-click instructions, instruction queuing, hotkeys, path highlighting, and many more.

  This game is a simulation of Budapest Ferihegy Airport at its 2006 state, using the summer timetable of that year. That was the time when the architecture of the airport was still at an organic, elegant state, before temporary buildings were added to hide its beauty (and handle more passengers). Also that was the time when a lot of now-defunct regional airlines had their flights and bases there, displaying a very colorful apron. Expect several historic aircraft!

  

  Why free? London Heathrow, Amsterdam Schipol, Chicago O’Hare, Tokyo Haneda, Sydney Kingsford Smith, Beijing Capital, Dubai International, Johannesburg are all great airports, but not included in this game (yet).

  Development resources have been concentrated on quality, not quantity.

  Currently this is an early access version of the game. Further development will go on.

  A WORD ON EARLY ACCESS Although the game already offers a fully enjoyable experience, it is still in early access. There are a lot more features to be added in future versions. A quick peek into the development pipeline: many-many more animations, more aircraft types, more airlines, baggage loading, refueling, catering, lavatory service, external power, frame rate optimization, optional instrument approach phraseology, and many more...
