About Airplane Simulator:
I like the idea – interactive experience with some small random elements making each “flight” a little different. Still it is more like a concept demo rather than a real deal. There are only two routes (2h and 5h flights), no airplane to choose from (and the only one is fictional), animations are clunky, world behind your window looks terrible, engine sound during taxiing is some short loop (throttle going up and down with no sense). Your avatar have mobile phone, but there are some bugs with its interface making me unable to quit the game from the menu (I had to use Alt+F4). From time to time “game” also freezes. There are few more bugs and glitches – for such a small project it should be more polished for the release. Additional customization options like choosing your seat, time of day etc. could be a nice addition. As a frequent flyer, a pilot and a major avgeek I think I am more than qualified to review this game. I rarely make game reviews but I really want to see improvements to this game with so much potential. I will separate this review in Pros and Cons and give an overall conclusion The attention to Detail in the game is pretty good. I was impressed by the in-flight magazine which had legible articles and the fact that you could read a book from your carryon bag and watch some old movies on the seatback IFE was very impressive. It just shows that the developpers put a lot of effort into the product and the content isn’t superficial its not just smoke and mirrors. If you can click on it there is depth to it. I hope they keep this up for any addition.
