Game is a good introduction to flying.
Cargo(Bugged with payout after flight completion and absurd change in flying**), passenger flights, firefighting, and helicopters.
You can have a 4 person crew, mechanic and hangar.
Pro's
[list]
[*]Good flight, easy to learn controls.
[*]Fun at first, then it gets old due to a large lack of content.
[*]Few planes, and small regions to fly in
[*]Simplicity of flight controls
[*]You can buy new planes(not many)and chose your flight destinations
(Again, not that many 1 per plane)
[*]Sounds are well done
[*]Free flight, cargo**, passenger, and helicopters.
[/list]
Cons
[list]
[*]No customization for your own airline other than choosing premade skins and planes
[*]Choosing a flight(You only get one route to choose from per plane)
[*]**Cargo flights do not always pay out, and the flight controls change from passenger to cargo is absurd. **All flights, regardless of type, have a flight plan (track), an autopilot, and a co-pilot. For whatever reason, the design choice was to remove all of that; you fly cargo on your own with runway and only radio runway headings and the destination airport, ONLY after you accept the mission, so you are going in blind, and every single thing offered in every flight globally is removed. Absurd.
Note: You can turn on autopilot in your own settings during flight, but it is horrible regardless, because you have no idea where you are going since the radio destination is wrong to the airport it states you must go to. It is all conflicting with absolutely ZERO SENSE OR REASON to have any flight changes based on what is in the back of the damn plane!!!
Co-pilot and Pilot with Autopilot in the cockpit, a defined route/flight plan(As they have in passenger flights) is a must, period.
The most ignorant decision I have ever seen a developer make in an aviation game.
This is one of the biggest reasons, besides all the other reasons mentioned above, why we say NO, it's not correct when starting off so well. Not even a $3.99 game.
Every flight, cargo or passenger, in the world, including firefighting flights, has a flight plan. an autopilot, tracking, and freedom to modify flight plans around weather. NOT IN THIS GAME!
(Developer, you have FREE FLIGHT if they want to just fly around freely, not hauling cargo, which should make it just like passenger flights, who cares what is in the back, only the crew should change)
[*]To change crew, except for simplicity changing mechanic/engineer, you must go into your pilot profile. Why?!
To those who are clueless, as most were, click on your plane as if you intended to sell it(no worries, it gets worse), and change the crew. We did not discover this on our own until it was our time to buy a new plane after 12 flights.
[*]Absurd text delays. 2D game, and a graphics bug, hesitation, and delay in text!!!!
WHAT THE ABSOLUTE.... FWORD!
SERIOUSLY!??
[*]When trying to click on Co-Pilot or Crew to check on the cabin for passenger flights. It stutters badly when communicating during a flight, where a box pops us obscuring your vision. Stupid as a sh*t-flavored lollypop being given to a child.
[*]No reasonable or remotely sensible development decisions in this game make any sense.

[h1]For all the negatives, badly outweighing the positives, and the lack of content and absurd design choices for cargo flights, we say this is not a game worth the cost, or the confusion and lack of content. If you choose to buy, get at least 50% off; otherwise, the cost isn't justified for calling it a game.[/h1]
If changes are made, then it is possible to save this mess. If not, don't even attempt to enjoy it.
Changes that need fixing... ALL OF THE ABOVE.
To cargo flights, to allow basic mapping and directional flight plan and controls as in passenger flights, along with much more content, destinations, and plane choices, with possibly a MODDING area for people to add their own custom planes, we [b]will[/b] change our "no" to a "yes", and this game could be a hit. A roadmap of intent from the developer would be nice as well.
If not... then we would look elsewhere, because without more content, options, or at least MODDING to fix this mess, this game is just a hobby for the developer and is a $3.99 game at best, and without more content, it's not worth that.
Sorry developers, but you started off strong, with a game with HUGE potential and just sh*t the bed as decisions were made, as it is clear you lost your mojo as time went on or care for your craft or decisions. You guys can turn this around if you care again.
