SimAirport arrives after spending almost 3 years in Early Access! We are very excited to celebrate the transition to full release with you today!

Developer Live Stream

We'll be hosting our typical fire-side live-stream this weekend, to celebrate and answer questions, and just have some fun with the community.

When: Sunday March 1, 2020 @ 10AM PT / 19:00 CET Where: YouTube, Twitch, and Steam The Airport: This Airport on the Workshop :)

Transition to Full Release!

We have enjoyed every minute of Early Access and we hope you have, too. We undertook some major transformations along the way, doing our best to embody what we felt Early Access should be all about. Although we encountered some turbulence initially, we hope you appreciate the many achievements along the way and that we delivered what you expected. It's truly an incredible difference today versus the game that released in 2017 (if you're adventurous, check out the archived 'beta' branches!). From the size of airports to massively increased passenger counts, new aircraft, the thousands of bugs squashed, hundreds of feature requests delivered, the arrival of multiple floors, Workshop & mod support, and so much more. It's been an absolutely incredible journey, one of international proportions, and we hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have -- and we hope you continue to enjoy it, too!

This won't be the last update!

We started building SimAirport simply because it was the game that we wanted to play; that hasn't changed and there are still things we'd like to add, and it is likely that there will always be more things that we'd really like to add or improve further upon. That said, we feel extremely good about the state of SimAirport today; it may not be perfect, in fact it is not perfect, but overall we feel very good about the state of gameplay today. Speaking More Personally: I've come to face the reality that I will never be completely happy with all aspects of SimAirport. There will always be aspects that I'd like to change, update and improve upon. And that is the plan -- we will continue to add features, release updates with improvements & additional content, and to continue supporting & adding functionality to the modding systems, bug fixes, and the like. There's a lot left that I'd like to do with SimAirport, and we'll do our best to do exactly that -- even if I probably won't ever be fully happy with it, even if it may never be perfect, it doesn't mean we won't strive for perfection regardless! :)

Thank You!

Huge thank you to the community and all of the supporters who continue to make SimAirport's development possible, who keep it fun for us, and who have made reaching this milestone possible. While it's a small button-click for a developer, it's a giant and seemingly impossible OnClick event for a new game developer. If it wasn't for you, the community, we wouldn't be able to accomplish any of this -- and we certainly wouldn't have any fun, either. We appreciate you all immensely and hope to see you on the stream this weekend! Thank you!! :)
