Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Occasionally crashes randomly when playing on 12.0.1. When traffic rate is at 10 its inconsistent sometimes on how many planes come. Some games you get what you would expect at a 10 rate, sometimes planes arrive less frequently and it feels like the rate is 6 but it says 10. This is when playing the time challenges or move 100.
Add multiplayer because controllers can work together and that would be so cool.
Love the new Boston airport!! The most challenging of them all. Wish there were more than 2 runway configurations since there are so many unavailable runways to use.
It is a basic concept. Keep the planes landing and taking off. But it is done so, so amazing well. Absolutely love it. Worth every penny. Please keep the updates coming.
Id love to give this game a 5 star but its missing a few things: 1. Need more time of day variation (Night time) 2. Weather other than just sunny or rain(Fog, Snow etc) 3. A couple more aircraft selections would be cool. 4. More airports and different runway configurations. Asking a lot with the last one but we feel the others arent too much to want?! Still a good game to play and kill time.
Love the game, best one yet if a major flaw is fixed. Arrivals keep randomly changing to different runways after we've specifically assigned one. A given plane changes its own mind 3-6 times just getting around the pattern! As soon as we fix a couple, it dominoes others – ridiculous! Penalizing us for having a plan is contrary to the spirit of the game. Also, aircraft in some directions can be told go-around way sooner than other arrival directions, at least after you juggle their runway assignment on purpose – ?? Real life ATC can kick out non-compliant planes in any direction.
Just wanted to write a quick thought on this game. We LOVE IT! Definitely worth every dollar. Love you keep updating IOS as most developers would keep it out of the loop. Would buy it a second time if we could. The tweets are fun to watch for. We would like to see more gates added but love your work.
This game is so much fun and very stressful all at the same time. The airports it offers are realistic and challenging. We would highly recommend buying and also it is worth every penny. Keep up the great work.
Enjoyed the free version of this game on our phone. Thought we would really enjoy the paid version on our iPad. Have tried several different airport and runway combinations in different game modes, but the game always crashes once it has loaded about 90%. Every single time. We have yet to get into a game. Only giving it 2 stars because we know how good it would be if it worked.
Thank you SO much for the LAX Uppdate. We've been waiting for SOOOOOOOOO long. The problem is, the game crashes as soon as you open it. It would really help if you fixed it.
Your last update killed your app. Good job.
FINALLY THANK YOU we WAS CONSTANTLY CHECKING THE UPDATE SECTION.
Great port from pc. Please keep up the updates and of course the great work. Customer for life.
Really am enjoying the game guys, would like to see a "realistic mode" per say. An option where we can play "realistically" rather then full chaos.
Love airport madness 3D. Great evolution of this game series. They have brought the ATC sim game to the next level.
This is an awesome app. Some suggestions for improvement: 1.Graphics: we're using this app on iPhone 5 with iOS 9.3.2. We notice that there seems to be a lighting glitch when in cockpit view (flashing light). Also, the cockpit instruments seem to have a watery texture to them at times. When in cockpit view, we notice that the terrain texture resolution is very low at times (ex: landing at laguardia). That makes the terrain look very fuzzy. 2. Cockpit: can you build different looking cockpits for different types of aircraft? They currently all look the same. The user also can't see a control yoke or control stick. 3. View: If possible, we think a wing view from inside the aircraft would be cool. Thanks again for all your hard work on this, looking forward to future updates.
We bought previous version for $8 on iPad 4 and now it's not compatible trying to update? What.
