Hey!
Nice video! We are glad that you enjoyed our demo of AirportSim.
About the stairs... we are working on different solution for connecting the stairs which will be implemented into release version of the game. We believe that it will be better to handle. Also we will be expanding the lists of tasks that are displayed in tablet so they are clear and easier to understand. And we will get rid of bugs - we didn't forget about these.
Just small tips when using tablet:
On operations click on the aircraft to listed and you will be able to see what tasks to do.
On weather tab - in scenario - you are able to control the weather and time
We are working hard to deliver good product and we really appreciate your feedback from the video - we will take it into account 😊
Hey thanks for the tips, I plan to play it again. I didn't utilize the tablet as much as I should have, I am really liking what I see here so keep it up!
@@jfavignano I would love if you played it again! My dream career is to work with aircraft and the aviation industry. Even though I prefer fighters, watching you work with the commercial aircraft is also really awesome! Love the content and have a great week!!
OMG the demo is free?! BIG W
I laughed really hard at the trailer when I saw the luggage fly off the baggage cart!
does the airport sim in the xbox model x only is not laggy? because I'm in computer and its laggy on my screen
I’m a ramp agent as well and I’ve got to say I’m pretty impressed at how this looks for a early access build, I would love to see some things like deicing and ram air in the future.
I’m a ramp agent at MSP and I had to pause this a couple times to distinguish what sounds around me were real and what were sounds in the video 😂 They did a great job.
Ramp agent sat y’all are our most popular city
I have been in MSP many times
Hey, that’s my airport! 👀
Trust me Jeff. 4:54 "The only person out here doing everything else" It really do be like that. Here on Maui our staffing is so short at 3 rampers a day. Then 4 on a good day. It'd be a blessing to have more then 5 rampers a day. Nothing like 13 flights, 3 gate operation and only 3 rampers to do it. Ahhh gotta love the 12+hr shifts lol
Oh I remember turning an airplane by myself on short staffed days or if it was a charter
how
If I had to guess, you probably work for UNIFI OGG...
I'm a Ramp Trainer and very impressed with how detailed and accurate this sim is. Love the games like this that we have gotten recently and how much detail has been put into these. Love the content as always!
These simulator games you play are always interesting, especially this one being based on a job you used to do. Keep up the great work Jeff, take care!
Oh man this brings back so many memories. I worked for 7 years out on the ramp. Three years as a ramp agent, gate operations, then ramp super and ground operations lead LAX, Midwest Airlines. One year LAX international ramp lead and pushback driver, Evergreen Eagle. Three years ORD international, ramp supervisor and pushback driver, Evergreen Eagle. This sim looks legit. Can't wait till it fully releases. Multi-player is going to be so much fun. I've had many occasions with multiple flights on the ground, coming in all at once, and stretched thin on agents. Running from gate to gate marshalling in planes. Chocking. and run up to jet bridge. Drive jet bridge to door and open. Run back downstairs and connect power and running to the next gate. The sheer amount of attentiveness and coordination it takes to supervise multiple flights and get them out on time is pure insanity. My mind is still recovering 10 years later. Looking forward to trying this with friends.
Let’s go! Another great video after hockey!!
Been watching you and others play MSFS and other flight sims forever and i finally gave in and got MSFS last weekend. Really been enjoying it and learning a ton as a know close to nothing about aviation apart from the random bits ive picked up from watching videos so thanks jeff for my newest interest.
Mad respect to you Jeff that you had this as a career. It is terrifying to know how close you have to get to the engines when they wind down. Just being extra careful and fully aware of your surroundings is not enough in my book. I do agree the animations look stellar!!
I love these airport sims, you can tell you dedicated yourself to your job before TH-cam, please make this into some form a series cause it interests me to hear the knowledge you share
Man, its like the old days. I always enjoyed your airport work vlogs. This actually looks really well done for such early access.
25:10 that shit had my dying when the luggage popped open 🤣🤣🤣
Really excited about this game as I used to unload/load packages for UPS at our airport many years ago. I mainly did smaller GA planes but, around xmas we would help unload the big boys. The only thing that I noticed that wasn't 100% accurate was we had cones and chokes for everything. The belt loader and tugs had them. I got to marshal in a 777 one night, that was fun. I loved that job because it was very physical. I'm a pretty big guy and I had to crawl into the space normally used for luggage. It was fun though, I learned a lot about aviation in general and that was what really got me interested in planes. UPS has changed the way they do things quite a bit since I worked there (at least at the airport that I worked at). I started shortly after 9/11 and I had to go through a very intense background check. It will be interesting to see what else is added for the release and/or future demo's etc. Something I found out with the scenario....once you are done off loading luggage etc, keep everything the way it is because you will do everything all over again except in reverse order and if you move the equipment back, it bugs it out. I wasn't able to finish the scenario the first time because of that.
As a ramp agent myself this is pretty accurate.
What ramp do you work at? (I had to edit this because I didn't even understand my own comment)
@@HarmonDrexler at the ramp
What airport do you work at? I used to work at CID.
@@HarmonDrexlerI work at PHX
And I second this
This is impressive
Another great video Jeff! Love the energy.
Sweet! Keflavik intl Iceland. Cant wait for that. I was workin there at the cargo section. That is awsome. Hope this come with VR soon. Vagar is a cool little airport to. Vagar is east of Iceland and belongs to Faroe Islands. Love it Jeff! Keep rockin on
Yes new vid!
I worked ramp for DGS and can say this really accurate. Super cool to see this come out!
these uploads soothe my soul. excited for the game to release- as you got me hooked on tower sim 3.
This is a pretty good looking game for being Alpha so far. Thank you for showcasing it to us Jeff. Would be great to see Multiplayer so multiple people could help out with the different tasks!
Love the content coming out Jeff. I hope all is well!
Btw, you can connect both cargo carts and put the cover on as well!
I love aviation, nice video!
I always get so excited when I see ur notification,love what you're doing Jeff keep up the good work 🐱
Alright then. I’ve missed the test drives of new games. Thanks Jeff
I liked it, the atmosphere was immersive, sounds are great. I really felt the urge to stay away from the running engines lest I get hurt or killed. I also couldn't figure out the boarding stairs so I'll give the tutorial a try next.
Welp, here's another game I need to get. Looks really fun and interesting.
The demo is looking good so far. I had the same issues with the mobile stairs.. You can pick up all 3 sets of chocks at the same time, although you cannot pickup multiple cones at the same time..
As a pilot and lover of all airport ops, I'd love to see this combined with msfs in multiplayer!
Game looks pretty sick cant wait for it! 😄
Makes me feel like I'm having flashbacks to when you played a game that was identical to this
Oh thank God someone else noticed, I thought I was going crazy
I downloaded the demo! Looks amazing. I also was a ramp agent back in the day for Sun Country at KMSP. Was a lot of fun but didn't pay the greatest and long hours lol. Thanks for sharing as usual Jeff :)
As a former ramper this is freaky how accurate this Sim is. Miss the job and never forget how to do things.
Common game, you never unload the Fwd compartment before the AFT, basic weight and balance training
Looks so great! Thanks for sharing the game and your memories
That bus drifting in the beginning was funny 😂
This is very much like working there, pretty good for a game. I worked inon keeping the conveyors running and clearing jams. I remember luggage broke open all the time, damn mess
What did you not do in real life 😂love your content my friend
@Jeff Favignano Keflavik is my home country’s International Airport and we have three backup airports for Keflavik International Airport which are Reykjavik airport, Akureyri Airport and Egilstaðir Airport but all of them are mainly used for domestic flights
Great video and great game. Played the one demo mission and loved it. Had a bug at the end but what else can you expect at this stage of development. Looking forward to the full release.
really fun to hear your experience, too! :) Great video
This should be interesting to watch lol United ramp for 28yrs in CLE
Somewhat accurate, I did yell at you a few times with that luggage handling though lol … that old GPU would of been loud as hell too….belt loader was very accurate and yes would never leave running on AC unattended, we actually had to chalk beltloaders at all times ….
This is pretty cool. Love how you threw Granny's bag and all her stuff came out. It's her own fault for having a 1974 Samsonite bag, though. That's what she gets! I'm gonna check this out tonight, I think.
iirc 28 volts is commonly used by really small airplanes as well.
As a current ramp agent for Delta, they specifically want the chocks, in their words “rubber to rubber”.
Also love this, most of what Delta has and what we get in terms of 737’s are -900ER’s. They’re super picky with weigh and balance, that we’re required to unload the rear cargo first and then the front to keep the A/C from tail tipping.
ya I worked UPS air (Michigan) back in the 90s was there for the teamsters strike was by far one of the best jobs I held we would load the 747s and an occasional DC9 using K-loaders also did marshalling and unloaded small aircraft like Cessna's' and Beechcraft's I still remember standing at the end of one of our ramps to guide them in what an experience (edited after demo play thru) 😲😮WOW what an experience definitely brings on the nostalgia btw I got the scenario to work seems they want you to hook up GPU b4 setting the stairs (which makes sense lol) this one is definitely going on my steam wish-list maybe if they implement a multiplayer mode would be awesome to run some ramps with ya @jfavignano
It's always fun to see a game. Jeff here loves based on his old career. It's always good to see him having his old reflexes kick in again. Hell it's like me in the rental car industry when I see somebody in a rental car. I always have to ask who's the guy you helped you knowing that I may or may not know them
I really wish these types of games like airport tycoon would come to console. I love these types of games
I am a ramp agent at Keflavík, I am really excited to see how well they made KEF
WOW! I have been hoping a game like this existed, I used to work for dnata in orlando unloading 777s for Emirates and British airways I love the planes so much always dreamed of a game like this!!
Special ramp agent,mib 😄👍
I learned something new about you. Didn't know you used to work the ramp!
Takes me back lol I'm glad you did the thing with the cones it would have bothered me 😅
This game looks pretty cool, might have to check it out myself soon
In Europe or at least at EHAM we dont put cones at the nose and tail. Maybe one at the tail so we know Water service has been performed. Just as that you dont wait until the engine has fully spoiled down. As long as the beacon light has been turned off it is enough
I remember watching when you would vlog at work before you did youtube full time.
Unfortunately your correct, my local regional airport, MGM had a ramp agent get sucked into the engine about a month ago. Weren't following proper guidelines, and was at fault themselves. Always teach to be aware of the engine.
Im very surprised by the attention to detail to every thing weather it be step by step or just the little things. I currently work for UPS and used to work for Delta, and the sounds for everything are very accurate.
I never worked at an airport. Unless you count picking up and leaving people with a bus (coach) directly at the plane. Like a C-130 Hercules. Then you get to see this activity as well as having people unloading the bus for you and in to the plane :)
First and I like the video my favorite thing in the world is aviation
Don't forget your safety stops to test brakes before approaching an aircraft
3:31 yup, got sucked right into a Erj175. Someone also got ran over by a truck while wingwalking
Gotta love how Jeff, a former ground handler, just leaves the tug parked blocking the service road!
Yeah we never dealt with roads in the cargo world
It's so real I got worried when you got close to that aircraft starting. Wanted to say "Get of the safety area, your too close".
That Lil spin- out with the tug was definitely some o'hare type ish 😅
I would love to have a job like this. But only if it's not too physical to the point of causing injury.
Airport ops would not have been happy with you at 21:18 😏 also, I work in cargo rn and I feel like its a bit easier than it would be over with pax, though, I can't say anything about it since I never tried it yet, but it's still a lot of fun
Thanks again Jeff for doing these vid's. I'm impressed with how well it works and looks for unfinished, would like to see you return to this game.
Is so funny see you trow this bags, its sounds like get out here
This sim brings back the fun times I had at YYZ
Looks great, cant wait to see you hashed out and ready for full game-play. I want to see co-op next time, that be awesome. Thanks Jeff!!
As far as the chalks leaning back on the rear chalks. When you push back. Just bring the plane forward
Awesome would love to see you play airport sim when it releases
Do airports use vehicles for ground power or does ground power now come from the jetway? I have always wondered about that.
I used to work as a line guy at an FBO
23:03 too far from the belt, you are going to hurt yourself man hahaha
Ramp agent at FXE here, we deal with a bit smaller planes, but this is still very accurate
Jeff, next flight sim video, 737900ER?
I do love the look of the game the game is fine to look at and it’s features are amazing too
Finally devs that know what they're doing!
love it need some work but i love the level of detail!!
Yes play some more off this
From the stream!! 💪
Have no far big brother mr.magic is off work n my favorite chair Jeff u on the big screen let's enjoy the new game
"I always treated people's stuff like it was mine" So that explains where all those biscuits and chocolate I was shipping went...... :P
Hilarious... Check the luggage til it opens!
Love it
I used to deice for asig then I was a ramp agent for ats we had the united contract at dtw best job ever
Hey, it's my job lol. Seems cool. Ironically it's raining right now, 27° outside too.
Ok ok yeaa verry cool game
Wow that be a terrible experience I couldn't Imagine getting sucked and hit by a fanblade.
Its always better to be overly safe when dealing with large non caring or slow stopping machinery
Conveyors are scary like that too cause Any loose clothing or hair can get you bad too
Thats pretty impressive for a demo
The only thing missing the the potent smell of jet fuel.
RTC! (Respect the Cones) 😂 hello sir 👋🏻
Jeff return to airport Sim when it released this game
Can’t wait for Nerd3 to play this
😂 when u drove the GPU to the plane u didn’t stop outside the diamond of safety lol 😂 I know it’s just a game haha
Dunno if there was a update, but you need first connect the GPU and then the stairs (press tab for tablet). But I do also got a hard to to connect the stairs. Lower the stamps and I did manage open the door, but then it was complain about something else.. for that.
Also, I could not drive with only keyboard. Steering working, but brakes and acc. not.
Awesome
