Ex-Ground Handler Plays AirportSim

[@MSGamesPoland]

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 😊

[@jfavignano]

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!

[@TheHonoredSoldier]

@@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!!

[@sofa_far2930]

OMG the demo is free?! BIG W

[@craig7253]

I laughed really hard at the trailer when I saw the luggage fly off the baggage cart!

[@theconfidential8623]

does the airport sim in the xbox model x only is not laggy? because I'm in computer and its laggy on my screen

[@jay77productions]

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.

[@anttnf7159]

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.

Hey, that’s my airport! 👀

[@baconbait1122]

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!

[@BSKTSnGraV]

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

[@jfavignano]

Oh I remember turning an airplane by myself on short staffed days or if it was a charter

[@milabye6216]

how

[@wahoowahoo777]

If I had to guess, you probably work for UNIFI OGG...

[@Jared_Wignall]

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!

[@darkknight7535]

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.

[@lukemontgomery9683]

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.

[@SkittleKicksPlays]

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!!

[@cossiefordman720]

I love these airport sims, you can tell you dedicated yourself to your job before KZbin, please make this into some form a series cause it interests me to hear the knowledge you share

[@mjc8248]

Man, its like the old days. I always enjoyed your airport work vlogs. This actually looks really well done for such early access.

[@RockyMountainHiThere]

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.

[@Soucer23]

Common game, you never unload the Fwd compartment before the AFT, basic weight and balance training

[@pat370]

As a ramp agent myself this is pretty accurate.

[@HarmonDrexler]

What ramp do you work at? (I had to edit this because I didn't even understand my own comment)

I worked ramp for DGS and can say this really accurate. Super cool to see this come out!

[@SocalThero]

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!

[@naterisawesome1]

I really wish these types of games like airport tycoon would come to console. I love these types of games

[@RoboGaming23]

25:10 that shit had my dying when the luggage popped open 🤣🤣🤣

[@grahamhill7913]

Another great video Jeff! Love the energy.

[@user-cq1ss3jy8i]

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 :)

[@TheHonoredSoldier]

Let’s go! Another great video after hockey!!

[@bigjoel3599]

As a former ramper this is freaky how accurate this Sim is. Miss the job and never forget how to do things.

[@OSUfan757]

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.

[@captainicelander3898]

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

[@anthonymaldonado4776]

I remember watching when you would vlog at work before you did youtube full time.

[@DuncanCardew]

I am a ramp agent at Keflavík, I am really excited to see how well they made KEF

[@AshleyWincer]

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..

[@Noledad77]

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.

[@daver7465]

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.

[@drpeppers59]

Love the content coming out Jeff. I hope all is well!

[@xa613rzinfiniteflight8]

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

[@adammcveigh]

As a pilot and lover of all airport ops, I'd love to see this combined with msfs in multiplayer!

[@JerodM]

Alright then. I’ve missed the test drives of new games. Thanks Jeff

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

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

[@Mr.Martini549]

I learned something new about you. Didn't know you used to work the ramp!

[@ferusinfo]

Btw, you can connect both cargo carts and put the cover on as well!

[@RealBanana]

Gotta love how Jeff, a former ground handler, just leaves the tug parked blocking the service road!

[@jfavignano]

Yeah we never dealt with roads in the cargo world

[@dennakray]

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.

[@SuperSailorOutlawGeorgeIshaq]

@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

[@TheGibshome]

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.

[@forsteelgaming2325]

Don't forget your safety stops to test brakes before approaching an aircraft

[@jameslogan1370]

Hey, it's my job lol. Seems cool. Ironically it's raining right now, 27° outside too.

[@daancrijnen6452]

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

[@JBobjork]

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 :)

[@DavonChrisVR]

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".

[@zaixai9441]

The only thing missing the the potent smell of jet fuel.
