Airline Founder

[Summary] I grew up with Airline Tycoon, so I'm not really qualified to comment on the more realistic stuff of airline management. However, for what it is, in its current state, AF is probably one of the most accessible and satisfying "airline tycoon"-esque games in the market. There are gripes, for sure, but in its current state, I believe these are fixable and at its current price, the game is very serviceable and scratches that itch for a decent "Airline Tycoon" game. [insert "it ain't much but it's honest work" meme here] Love that the dev is looking at the player feedback and working on it as well! [Some gripes and/or suggestions] <UI/UX> I believe that generally, there are too many wasted space; some of the screens could be more compact and allow for more information, like fleet list, employee list, etc.. So for example, in the fleet list, I'd appreciate the option to change the view from thumbnail to a simple list (toggleable) with a smaller picture, tail number, plane name, current assignment, maintenance status, etc. <Finances> I understand that the revenue screen is currently separated from each revenue source, but it'd be better to see a summary in the Finance screen as well; like a list of revenues, something like: --- -> tickets/routes: $xxx ->> [a collapsible list of all routes with revenue info for each route] -> cargo: $xxx ->> [a collapsible list of all cargo contracts with revenue info for each contract] -> public service: $xxx ->> [a collapsible list of all public service contracts with revenue info for each public service contract] -> total revenue before expenses: $xxx -> total revenue after expenses: $xxx - Oh, and automated pricing would also be nice! For example, "auto-markup/down by xxx% over current market price", etc. <Employees> - How come I can buy a lot of planes and continually expand my routes, but can only hire a limited number of people? - Speaking of people, I like the pictures in the demo better. At the current stage, the people don't look as professional, sadly. - Would appreciate an option to automate employee training... something like "automate training until employees reach x level of xxx skill, limit budget to $xxx/month" - Would also be nice to see a clearer reflection of employee skills and their impact to the company - Also, why aren't we managing the hiring of pilot, flight attendant, and maintenance crew as well? <Fleet> - Would be nice to have a function to auto-apply cabin template every time you buy or lease new plane. The current copy/pasting of templates is great, but it could be better. [insert Pedro Pascal meme here] - Also would be nice to be able to apply a template to all planes of same model automatically.... - A built-in livery editor would also be awesome. Nothing too fancy, something like several basic livery options with colour picker for each livery is already cool.
