For a game that claims to be a simulation of an airport and it's intricacies, the game as of now is very unbalanced. The progression of time and era portrayed as aviation history is too fast paced but the opportunity of the player making some money is too slow. So this game is contradicting it's own design which promises to deliver the actual experience of running a real airport, so as a player you are always grappling for money regardless of the scale of the airport you decide to go for.

Please explain how it is logical for the 'office workers', 'roads' and 'vehicles' of the airport to incur HOURLY maintenance cost that gets deducted HOURLY. Even if the pay is actually 'per hour', the actual pay is given out at the end of the day in real world, correct?

The design of researching to get new equipment and technologies is indeed intuitive, but the research is done by people who work at 'main office'. To me that concept falls flat on it's face. When people are hired to work, they must get paid, correct? But in this 'main office' it's the people who do not do any productive work who actually contribute to 'research'. What out worldly logic is that?!

As per current game design, only a select few office workers are perpetually holding landline telephones in order to make all deliverable get delivered on time. That is no way how real life works.

Researching a new tech or equipment should be expensive and it should cost money for the player. It should not just pop out of idle 'office workers'. Maintenance of roads and equipment must be done ONE TIME PER DAY. Not hourly. If the whole airport is hell bent on maintaining everything HOURLY, when will any actual work get done?!

The game has to let the player make money. Then the player needs to choose which 'road', 'vehicle' and 'equipment' needs maintenance and by how much. The same applies to research. The player needs to be in control of how much money is spent into research and into what.

Edit 1: This game's sale page clearly tags/states itself to be a 'simulation' and 'strategy' game. So my review pointing out the shortcomings of this game is not misplaced expectations.
