Big Fat Simulations proudly offers you the seventh version of Airport Madness. This is a 3-dimensional version of the popular game series, offering players the view from an airport control tower. Available for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Steam.
Airport Madness 3D offers eight awesome airports: Boston Logan, Los Angeles, LaGuardia, Jamaica, Toronto Island, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan, Vancouver Harbour float plane base, and Castlegar. Airport Madness 3D offers 40 different aircraft that include the Airbus 380, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, even the Concorde.
Each airport has two separate traffic patterns, offering you two completely different air traffic control experiences. Choose from four different view perspectives: tower, runway cam, sky view, as well as cockpit view. Monitor air traffic from two radar screens, one for ground traffic and one for airborne traffic.
Flight characteristics are highly realistic. Aircraft actually raise their nose during the takeoff rotation and landing flare. This game is brought to you by real-world air traffic controllers. We've captured all of the fun aspects of air traffic control, and present them to you here in Airport Madness 3D.
Airport Madness 3D: Volume 1 is our bestseller, offering a virtual view from the control tower. Control passenger jet traffic at eight different real-world airports. Try to move aircraft quickly, avoiding collisions. Built by real air traffic controllers.
Airport Madness has existed since 2008. We've worked hard to compare our game to that of 3D simulations that are currently for sale elsewhere, and what we feel everybody wants is a game that's easy to play, is lots of fun, and is highly addictive.
As this is our seventh version of Airport Madness, you may be wondering just how many of these games we plan to make. In fact, we have an endless list of improvements and variations that we hope to offer you in the coming years of Airport Madness. Expect a new game each year.

How to install Airport Mania: First Flight HD on your Android device:
Airport Mania from South Winds Games is a time management sim that drops all the trite settings and food-related themes we've grown tired of in the genre. Instead of serving cake or pizza or sandwiches, your job is to direct airplanes, load passengers, and make sure everything runs smoothly. All of this is accomplished with a simple interface and airplanes that are too cute for their own good. And unlike real airports, you can actually have flights arrive on time or even early!
Planes appear at the top of the screen, flying back and forth until you tell them which runway to land on. After touching down, direct planes to an empty gate where passengers are unloaded and new passengers boarded. Then it's back to the runway to take off once again. Sometimes a plane will need to re-fuel between groups of passengers, in which case you simply direct it to the repair station.
The basic structure of the game is simple and only a few events come along to change things around. Sometimes a plane will be carrying urgent cargo and must take priority over other flights, while other times weather conditions will alter your plans. Between each of the game's 84 levels you'll visit the store where you can buy new structures for your airport or upgrade existing ones to be faster/better.
Once you gain the ability to paint planes, a new level of complexity opens up. Each gate has a color, each plane has a color. Match like-colored crafts to gates and you'll earn a bonus. Painting allows you to change the color, forcing you to decide if a pit-stop is worth the matching bonus or if being on time is a better reward.
Analysis: The most immediate draw to Airport Mania is its visual style. Is "cute" a strong enough word? Not sugary sweet cute, but airplanes with big eyes and goofy smiles certainly qualifies as adorable. They even hum while waiting for passengers. AWWW!!!
Fuzzy wuzzy planes aside, Airport Mania is built around a very simple time management construct and rarely strays from that premise. The shop introduces a few upgrades, but these don't change the experience very dramatically. It's almost as if the game was afraid to veer too far from its established (but highly entertaining) core idea. With a solid interface, excellent visual style, and unique setting, I think the game could have afforded to take a few chances here and there. There's also a low and slow progression of difficulty, allowing you to master the game quickly but offering less challenge until later.
You get the flying time award by doing the following. First of all try doing this on the first stage as it`s easier. Land a plane or 2 but make sure you DO NOT reach your goal, when the time has run out (the red circle in the top left hand corner is flashing) you can begin to land the planes you have in the air.
Thank you Donna for the tip about flying time first of all. But how many levels do you have to complete in order to get this award?
I tried in the first level and still has nothing? Do I have to complete at least one map?
Thanks for the further guidance
So I finally this morning got my "Heavenly Assistance" award - ie, I got 3 stars for every single stage. Woooo! Having accomplished that feat, there's something I thought I'd add for folks still on the quest for stars. (It may be obvious to some, but it took me quite awhile to figure it out.)
The key to getting higher scores/goals lies in strategically choosing your upgrades. That's true in most time-management games. But what's different here is that the scores required to meet the different goals will shift depending on which upgrades you choose, and *how* they shift changes from stage to stage. So in one stage, buying the plane upgrade will raise the score needed for 3 stars (because the upgraded plane will make more money). But on another stage, upgrading the plane will actually *lower* the goal scores because the larger planes' lack of patience can put you at a disadvantage. So when you feel stuck, try different combinations of upgrades, and notice how the goals change; try to keep the goals low while giving yourself as many advantages as possible. In general, my approach was to get the maximum number of gates (not upgraded, at first), the VIP Runway, and the fog & ice removers. When you can keep the planes happy, the VIP Runway will rake in the money!
