Tycoon the right way.
Punt tha ball
This game is one of the best tycoon games out there. It offers many different planes to pick from. I definitely wish they would update this game.
Great time killer!!!

This game is so much fun! I have always loved planes, and wanted a game where you could build your own airports! In this game, you can build airports, but new planes, complete achievements, and so much more. Thanks, Nimblebit games for making this.
Amazing Game

This game is amazing. Seriously, you can purchase new planes and airports, customize your planes, and carry passengers without the added real-life complexity of many other airline simulators. While NimbleBit does seem to have left this one alone for a while, I hope they have more updates on the way eventually. Here are a few of my suggestions: -Realistic Earth Tilt! In reality, the day/night border is not always straight up-and-down as the game portrays. Fluctuation with the seasons would be a definite improvement. -Round and Scrolling Earth Display! The map view is currently displayed as flat, just as if you looked at a real map on your table. However, this means that certain parts of the world (Greenland and Canada come to mind) are stretched to unrealistic sizes—Greenland appears the size of Africa. So, to fix this, I would suggest removing some of the map view’s zoom-out capability, and implementing a “round” Earth display, with the ability to scroll around everywhere (i.e. California to Japan). -Accurate Distances! This would basically make it so that a flight from, say, Hawaii to San Francisco is actually 6,000 miles, instead of 1,000 (or whatever the in-game and real life distances are.) This would obviously increase travel times significantly, but it could be a setting you could toggle, so that if you enjoy playing with that level of realism, you can. -More Customizability! You could upgrade your airplanes with nicer seats, entertainment, etc, to raise ticket prices, but that would (theoretically) lead to less available jobs, depending on what you change. -Class Redo! Instead of having just class 1, 2, and 3, I think the system could be rethought a little. Class 1 (Bearclaws, etc.) would be 1 million population or less airports. Class 2 (Mohawks, etc.) would be 2 to 5 million population, Class 3 (Pearjets, etc.) would be 5 to 8 million population, and Class 4 (Cloudliners, etc.) would be 8 to 10 million population. You could even add a new class with new, larger planes! -Ghosting Fix! This doesn’t occur with me too often, but, occasionally, a bitizen will get stuck in the plane and not come back out, taking up one of the seats. Currently, the only way to fix this is by spending Bux to move your plane to the hangar and back. A fix for this would be appreciated. -More Planes! Although I am perfectly happy with the collection of planes now, some new ones might be appreciated. One that comes to mind is a game iteration of the Airlander 10—in the game, it could have speed statistics similar to the Blimp, but longer range and more passenger capacity. -Airport Changes With Upgrades! As you upgrade airports for more jobs and passengers, I think it would be a nice addition if the view of the airport changed—say, adding more seats or stacked cargo. -Multiple Planes Visible! There could be multiple runways in the background, so if you have two (or more) planes landed at one airport, you can see them both. -More Cities! There are plenty of well-known cities that seem inexplicably left out of the game. Obviously, space is one concern, but some places just seem ignored. -Antarctica! This kind of fits in with the “more cities” thing just above, but Antarctica could be added as a visible area on the map. There could also be airports for the research stations down there. -Custom Paint Jobs! This one’s pretty self explanatory. You could enter a pixelated drawing mode on the paint screen, giving players more customized paint options, instead of the predetermined liveries. -Outside View! In the current UI, the passenger area and cockpit walls of the planes are see-through, so the interior is visible. I would like the ability to toggle this, and make that portion of the outer wall visible. This would especially be useful if you added custom paint, giving players more room to paint their planes. -Aircraft Descriptions! A story behind each plane would be interesting! I think that’s everything, but I do definitely enjoy the game as it is, and even if none of these are added, that will not impact my enjoyment of the game. Also, I must say I enjoy the occasional references (I’ve noticed quotes/phrases from Arrested Development, Airplane!, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail so far) sprinked through the social media page. Anyway, that’s about it. I do want to make it clear, however, that even though I outlined many possible improvements and ideas, this game is still really fun as is, and if you are given the oppurtunity to buy it, you should.
BEST GAVE EVER! BEST GAME ON MY BGL (BEST GAME LIST)

I’ve been playing this game on and off since it first came out and it never gets old! I also think it’s very cool that it uses real airports in the game (help you learn that geography). I do wish it was updated more recently though.
Great game but please update it!!

Love it! Been playing it off and on for a long time now! Just sad that it isn’t being updated anymore.
