Aviation manager sim games

[DAL767-400ER]

Hi folks!

I was thinking about getting myself a new game besides FS04 and GTAVC, and I thought an aviation business simulation would be the best. I've already played Airport Tycoon 1, which I found interesting though it was a laugh from a reality point of view. Now I was thinking about Airport Tycoon 2, though I have yet to read a positive comment about it, and Aiport Tycoon 3 is said to come sooner or later. But I was also thinking about a CEO-like game. Any good games you could name in this field?

There all crap, theres so many flaws and stupid things that have been put into these 'games' that its not really worth getting any of them, you'll be bored and just anoyed with any of them within a day i can guarantee.

Ah the good old V70, we use those as our motorway patrol cars, and BMW 5 series. :)

Airline Tycoon series is a little too cartoonish. Airport Tycoon series has been hit and miss (Airport Tycoon was so-so, Airport Tycoon 2 sucks [I could not even get it to run on my computer that was only a few months old at the time I bought the game], I haven't tried Airport Tycoon 3, as the last one left me not liking Globalstar's programs). Airlines 2 is alright, but is highly unrealistic (one game Boston will be a huge sized city, the next, a tiny city). I haven't tried Airline 5 yet. Airpro 2000 was ok, but is limited in what you can do. I wish the folks over @ Maxis and EA Games would come out with Sim Airport or Sim Airline, because we know that it probably wouldn't suck.

Rockstar should have a go at making an airport/airline game (actualy they wouldnt do a great job, but the graphics/gameplay would be unreal! :D

airport tycoon 1 reminds me of good old days when i used to play it every day :D :D :D

great fun watching the aircrafts taking days and weeks to get to the taxiway :lol: concorde-kind of stuff came as well, won loads of awards and number 1 in the world :D

I've played Airpro 2000 numerous times, and really enjoy that simulation, unfortunately though I am ready to uninstall the program since the files will not convert over to.sav files from .alf's....(in other words, spend 8 to 9 hours going through a decade or so, and not being able to continue after you've supposedly saved the data!) After that happened twice,no more.

Does anyone know the other airline simulation game (it's entirely written in german language though). I lost the link to that game and was going to try that game.

[BA747-436]

I've never found a airline/manager sim that is worth buying. If somone makes one....let me know.
Cheers

There used to be a game called something like "Airline Tycoon." Instead of running an airport (as in Airport Tycoon), you would manage an airline. It started in like 1946 with three DC-3's and three airports with landing rights. You would have to expierment with getting the right mix of 1st Class, Coach, and Cargo to maximize your money. As you progressed through the years with profits, you negotiated for landing rights at new airports, as well as new aircraft.

I haven't seen it is years and don't even remember who published it.
