![]() Last April I went in search of music for Airport Madness 3 and immediately stumbled upon a piece from the air traffic control movie, “Pushing Tin”. The truly decent music costs money, typically between $10 and $100 for a decent 45-second music loop. In my experience however, you get what you pay for. Some ask that their name be mentioned in the game credits. If you are on a budget, there is royalty-free music everywhere, made by musicians trying to make a name for themselves. When you develop a game, there are several ways to obtain music. Some prefer to listen to music of their own, while others want no distraction during game play. In fact, muting is something that many game players do. I myself love this piece, although after testing and playing the game nearly one thousand times, I’ve begun using the game’s mute feature. I’ve received a number of emails from air traffic control game fans who really enjoy the musical piece from Airport Madness 3.

We are already in the planning stages of the next Airport Madness, due next Christmas, and it should be a great deal of fun. There is a great deal of work here at Big Fat Simulations that will keep us busy indefinitely. The enroute version will be more simulation than game. In June there will be a major update to Radar Chaos, as well as an ‘enroute’ version of Radar Chaos. Look for similar updates at Halloween and Christmas! In May we are planning an update to our iOS Airport Madness, adding airports and features. In April we plan to add an additional ‘Easter’ level to Airport Madness 4 (free and full versions). We are planning an update for Airport Madness 3 in March, fixing framerate performance issues, as well as difficulties users are reporting with the ability to click on aircraft. Please be sure to buy each and every one of these □ Well, at least give the free versions a try. Okay, here is an exhaustive list of everything we have in the pipeline for you this year. Airport Madness 4 has moved over 15 million airplanes to date, and we plan to unlock content in the free version as we achieve certain milestones. We have also published a free version of Airport Madness 4 on facebook as well as our website (the facebook version is a bit smaller, due to the space constraints of facebook, but the site version is a full 1024×768. Those who have purchased this game can update directly from the main game page. The CONTINUOUS PLAY button can be selected if you wish to play one particular level indefinitely, with no crash penalties.We have just released update 1.14 for Airport Madness 4. Arriving planes can be manipulated in a few different ways. You will notice that not all runways can be used for landing. That's just how it is. In real life, controllers establish a 'flow' where certain runways are only used for arrivals, and certain runways for departures.įree tip of the day: Don't be afraid to let planes wait! Crashes aren't cool. Let the planes line up on the taxiway if necessary. Tell an arrival to GO AROUND if they are about to have a runway mishap with another aircraft. Taxiing planes to and from parking is easy. They won't crash into each other on the taxiways, but they will crash if they taxi onto a runway. You can mindlessly click a parked aircraft to make it taxi to the runway, but if the aircraft needs to cross a runway, you must consider whether or not the runway is being used. FAST, SLOW) to manage such ties. Failing that, use GO AROUND to cancel an aircraft's landing clearance, or give a 360.ĭeparting planes are different. It is up to you to decide when they should be given a takeoff clearance. Always ask yourself, "What are the consequences?". Look closely to see if another aircraft is about to land, or has just landed and is still exiting the runway. Don't forget to look at the other runways, too. The biggest failure point in Airport Madness is the intersection of two runways. Arriving airplanes land themselves. That's the easy part. Occasionally you will notice a 'tie' between two arriving aircraft on different runways. A tie is when two planes try to be in the same place at the same time. As a highly paid air traffic controller, it's your job to make sure that never, ever happens. Use speed control (i.e. However, don't just sit there. Work hard to keep the airplanes moving and the passengers happy.Ī good controller can keep everything moving seamlessly in a safe, crash-free manner.
