You can even set up security to protect yourself from disaster. From taxis to train service to tie stores, the game has them all and there are more than 200 different airlines to work with. The variety in Airport Tycoon is one thing that I can't knock. There is no explanation and I disliked the way I was forced to guess at which contract to accept. Even after renegotiations, this still held true.
What I didn't understand was why the outgoing amount is always less than the incoming. Once you access the contract screen, you are presented with side-by-side cost comparisons of incoming and outgoing funds. Although the tutorial and manual both recommend signing the contracts yourself (as opposed to computer control), I found the process confusing. This is troublesome in that there is no way to drop the build icon unless you choose another one in other words, the cursor doesn't change to a simple arrow you can use to move around the screen.Īnother problem I had was in understanding the contracts. For example, after building a road or control tower, the icon remains active and if you accidentally press the left mouse button again, you place a second, unwanted tower. Retiring an icon after use is apparently something Global Star Software's designers decided not to implement. Icons are confusing and, even if you go through the tutorial, you will no doubt have difficulty figuring out how to do everything. Unlike SimCity, I found the control of different aspects of Airport Tycoon to be no simple matter. The difficulty in creating your airport is due in no small part to the controls of Airport Tycoon. This option lets you make important improvements to your airport and allows you to pay for them at a later date. Doing all of this while restricted to a fairly tight budget makes starting your airport somewhat painful. You design where to put the plane stands and where to place the long- and short-stay parking areas.
Herein, you make decisions and create the various sections of your airport. Getting through the initial phase of Airport Tycoon is the most difficult. You sign contracts with vendors to take part in your retail areas, you accept deals with airlines to keep your airport busy, and you must keep customers happy-not such an easy task. To do so, you create runways, taxis (transport system), a terminal, control towers, and so forth. You build, from scratch, your very own product and attempt to maintain a viable base of operations. The idea behind Airport Tycoon is similar to many other simulations.
