You start by creating your own airlines. You start out by requesting space at different airports. After you receive two or more airports that granted you space, you buy your aircraft. There are a number of aircraft to choose from but at first you want to start out small and work your way up to larger aircraft. Now comes the decision of how many planes to put on one route and how big of a plane. The route you choose may not attract many customers or it may be just the opposite.
You can request space from other airports after your first route starts doing good. Customers will want the luxuries and upgrades that an aircraft can offer. This will be another decision you will have to make. Do you offer a cheap flight with no luxuries or the most extravagant flight possible? Having fewer luxuries on an aircraft means less money you have to spend up front. Will the customers want a cheap flight? Keeping a cheap price on your flights might be what some customers want. Others may want to relax and pay as much as necessary to get the most comfortable flight possible. Experimentation is the best way to go. Maybe try one aircraft as cheap as possible and have one cost the most with
all the upgrades possible.
In time, you will have an empire of flights going to all different airports. Sometimes, you may have to reroute or change the aircrafts route if the amount of customers gets too low. It’s all about keeping the money coming in so you can continue to expand your airlines empire. You will be playing against other computer airlines for the best routes and who makes it rich.
I first played this game maybe 8 years ago or so. It’s 2007 now and I play it from time to time. The graphics on this game are decent. I first played it on an older computer. I never had trouble loading the game. It never froze on me. I most enjoyed the fact that you can choose what aircraft you can buy and what your airlines will be called. I never played a game like this one. Although, I'm sure there must be some out there available. I do know that that I've played other games with better graphics but I'll still play this one (Air Bucks) from time to time just because it was my first favourite. I recommend this game to anyone that likes competition in building a type of empire. It will give you a lot of fun. Sometimes, I got so into playing this game, that when I was suppose to be feeding my newborn son, I would hold him in one arm with the bottle and play same time at the computer.
