About This Game

Get ready to pack your gear and fly off into the wilderness of the endless plains!

As the busy operator of a hangar and runway in the heart of a region like the Serengeti, there are countless ways to earn a living. As an ‘old school’ bush pilot, you must undertake challenging jobs to make the lives of both tourists and locals a lot easier.

Some things I notice right away - The performance is terrible. My machine well meets the recommended requirements and I still get ~20 frames per second on medium settings.

There's no traditional tutorial, at least not in the sense of reading instructions and then practicing, which is practical in a flight sim. It's easy enough to keep the plane flying straight if you have a flight stick, but for any casual player who's using mouse and keyboard, it'll be difficult to keep the plane from nose diving while reading instructions all at a horrible frame rate.

Even the highest setting for graphics looks horrible. Enough said.

I could rant more about this, and struggle to find redeeming characteristics, but I think I've hit the criteria which are necessary for a video game to be enjoyable. Please don't buy this.

I really wish I had read mroe into this game before buying it. I like planes so I saw planes and though ooh this will be fun! It's not. The controls are horible, I mean BEYOND horrible, it's oversensative and really laggy - is that even possible?! I couldn't find a way to change the controls, I wouldn't even play this with a gaming pad.

impulse bought this game, the moment i saw it because bush planes are rad as hell.

that was a bad course of action.

the controls... they're so sluggish. and badly explained, to boot.

the graphics are PS2 level at the very best. i feel i'm being generous, with that one.

i realize i'm barely into this game, at this point. 30 min, in fact. but my will to continue is almost entirely gone, already.

let me put it this way. i fiddle around in second life, a fair bit. and the aircraft in SL are far more enjoyable and realistic to fly. and that's saying a lot.

Just kind of a cheap game. I got it on sale for $3.00 and it's worth that much
but I wouldn't buy it full price.

DO NOT BUY!

I was so happy to be able to buy a new game. Especially one involving planes and building your own business,
But alas I cannot even play this game, i am constantly circiling to the left, i have unplugged all my controllers to no avail. It has made this game un-playable.

i am seriously dissapointed, there is absolutly NO modification ability to controls whatso ever. there is no help on the forums, the is no help from any one. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. it is absolute crap. if the devs decide to update this game, then i will review my review. but atm. this is absolutly un-playable. i want my money back!

PROS - cant tell you as i cant play the game

CONS - yes i was conned. conned out of £7 for such a poor quality game.
- No controller support
- No ability to customise your own controlls

Seriously do yourself a favor. steer clear of this game. If you want a game that offers a simular profile of building your own airline, go for air hauler. (for FSX) or Cargo Pilot (for FSX)

Until this game is seriously modified by the dev team, i have no interest in changing my review.
