    I think it's a great game... To unpause the game, you'll have to click on the airplane icon on the bottom left pane... duh... experiment with the controls if you find problems with a game. Don't just rush into saying negative remarks about someone's hard work.... Cheers

    Could have a little bit more traffic and different building styles but otherwise it is OK. Actualy I gave this grade just because I'm in love with flying (and planes) and I alwys wantd to have a Airport tycoon.

    The vanilla game was just.....bad. The game was crashing, the terminals were not working, planes not leaving, but thanks to some very skilled modders Airport Tycoon 3 was brought back to life. New airlines added, new planes added, all the buildings are free, terminal 7 and 8 fixed. So yeah with this mods, pretty much my dream game.

  1. For whatever progress that the series makes in this third installment, it's undone by lackluster gameplay and poor execution.

    The game feels empty and sterile. The airport never comes to life despite your best efforts. The game didn't hold my interest any longer an hour and I just didn't care to track down any help on the net.

    Although AT3 gets points for actually having an interesting setting--in theory--the execution not only leaves something to be desired, but is often downright numbing.
