Cost of a Coffee - Air Tycoon 3

Air Tycoon 3 is not Pocket Planes and it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s as complex as say interpreting NMR spectra or… running your own airline. You don’t just buy your plane, unlock a few airports and take to the skies. When buying an aeroplane, amongst other things you need to specify how many seats it will have, how much legroom and the proportion of business class and working class seats. Then you need to buy slots at airfields, staff check-in desks and management offices, bulk buy aviation fuel, choose your in-flight meals and accoutrements, set and adjust your fares, not forgetting to set your marketing and staff training budgets and run a hotel and limo service. The list goes on and on. That’s not to say it isn’t fun, but if you’re the kind of person that would rather gun enemies down in a first person shooter, than say, perform the ammunition stocktake and negotiate savings from suppliers by ensuring your soldiers equip a battle rifle and sidearm that both take 5.56 mm rounds, it might not be for you.
